I've deleted my LinkedIn account. I'm hoping that it will clean slate some things. Still lurking and reading up about tech, but I honestly don't think going back to tech is in the cards for me. I'm looking at all my options right now. However, reach out if you wan to chat. :)

#techjobs Looking at Portugal's Job Seeker visa. Gives someone 180 days to find a job while in the country. Is six months long enough to find something? I've been looking for at least three, applied to countless jobs in the US, and barely a peep back. These are even jobs with recommendations.

Today, I shut off my LinkedIn *Open to Work* for several reasons: 1. Constant emails with already closed job recs 2. None of the job recs I have posted for have resulted in anything 3. And if they do result in anything, it's usually a form rejection

I was just talking about this today. It's a toddler with a green crayon. Just because you see green everywhere doesn't mean it's good or it's in the right place. The code LLMs creates needs supervision and expertize to make sure it's not making things up or hiding when something isn't working.

AI turns the faucet wide open. More code, more output, better looking dashboards. But nobody's watching the bathtub. A systems thinking look at why more output isn't more value.

In the Song dynasty, tea became a ritual of grace among scholar-officials. At gatherings, they perfected every detail: tea’s color, water’s source, the shape of cups, the stillness of the room. Tea was more than a drink; it was cultured silence, shared thought, and refined presence. 🎨 《文會圖》宋徽宗

This is actually a really common scam these days. A scammer will call and use AI to replicate a family member’s voice and the family member will sound distressed and having an emergency so you don’t have time to think. Best thing to do is hang up and call that family member “back” to confirm.

Doing a little bathroom remodel that was originally supposed to be a 1.5 week job, that is now dragging into its third week. (Mostly for scheduling and materials reasons) Please tell me some of your remodeling woes. Mostly so I know I'm not alone in this.

Since humanitarian aid can't get into Gaza, I've decided that for me, donating to enable people to get out of Gaza is the best way to help right now. I know it's hard to gauge if fundraisers are legit but I feel confident this one is. If you have some money to spare, consider checking it out.
