I code and blog sometimes.

Telling stories through design is my passion.

I make tools to empower creativity.
I want to talk to you about making dreams happen.
Years ago, I wondered the same thing. But great things start with a conversation; not naive, judgmental ramblings.
This industry does good work in turning out defunct products and useless software suites. Back then, my vindictive mind knew that. Everything was a new dot com. Everything was running on fumes. I knew the industry couldn't have the answers. Until I met someone who did.
I found a mentor.
My life was changed the day I met him. Never before did I gain so much of an appreciation for my life, my dreams of success, my hopes for a better future. The conversations I had with him landed me in a lucrative executive position at a Redwood tree metaverse NFT lounge blockchain foundation. My dream happened, and I never even had to understand anything except my own worth.
Because the financial sector is out of control.
They're gonna fund the dumbest fucking bullshit pie-in-the-sky projects and they need people to do them (and fail usually).
But making a website is super easy I had a job teaching small children to do it

I fell into an internet rabbit hole after checking out a post yesterday that covered how The Web Is Fucked. As much as I hate what corporations are turning the web into, I really doubt stitching together cool niche personal sites is going to save the internet. The best thing that might happen is ADHD-friendly php forums that don't give ridiculous platforming to the oldest quick and vapid replies.
quick and vapid replies.
i am feeling so attacked right now
The way forward for saving the web is to build alternatives. The Web Is Fucked, and there's nothing we can do but burn it down and start again. I recommend checking out Gemini space for a new internet protocol that attempts to recreate the early web without allowing things like tracking and JS bloat! There are already personal websites galore (check out gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/), social networks (gemini://station.martinrue.com/ and gemini://midnight.pub) and even an anonymous image board (gemini://IIch.space/).
yeah you couldn't even list an actual book that wasn't already as inoffensive as possible
i am a ninja coding geek, lord of the seventh realm of bagels and coffee
No joke, it is so common to see recipes
It's not bad or anything, but it was alarming to find that the attempts at being quirky and unique end up coming back to very similar templates
Because it's quirky in a way that is purposely like that to not put-off any employer.
Can't be yourself at all in case a hiring manager hates people who play DnD or something very arbitrary.
