I've been coding since I was a little kid, but I didn't start building software professionally until college, back when Javascript loosely equaled Flash and artisanal WordPress blogs were all the rage.

But then one day, Steve Jobs, in one of his LSD-infused power trips, said:

"LET THERE BE NO MORE FLASH ON THE IPHONE!"

Little did we know that would be the end of the creative web; but in my case, I moved on to Ruby on Rails & started building web apps.

Later, JavaScript would rise from the ashes like a goofy-eyed, janky-looking phoenix in the form of Node.js & I've been living mostly in the Wild West of JavaScript ever since.

My mortgage is up a thousand bucks due to interest rates. It was a an FHA loan so it made sense at the time

Well I didn’t think of it that way. I admit im sentimental about it but it’s not sounding too bad too sell now either

I’m in Austin, so my house went up in value quite a lot.

Apparently. Without one, everyone ends up making their own.

Take UFOs for instance. Still absolutely no proof whatsoever that they exist but atheists are still obsessed with the topic.

Funny enough, revenge is something people willingly starve themselves for if need be.

I don’t want to sell, I was hoping to be buried in the backyard when I died.

I don’t want to, but looks like I’ll have to, interest rates being what they are. I really liked the place, made a nice little garden for the first time in my life

But if yall think selling is a good idea, that’s a good omen

Buying a house in 2019 was one of the top 5 worst decisions in my life

Port was what I was thinking. Can’t turn wine into whiskey. That’s not only impossible but grounds for a holy war between wine and whiskey aficionados

Plus it goes with the whole gaming port thing

In that case the Russians would have scorched Stalingrad, which they didn’t. They didn’t because of the symbolism behind it

That’s a good question. No, I wouldn’t. It’s not one of Ridley Scott’s best works. I’d say if you enjoyed kingdom of heaven then you may like it.

I’d rather watch “The Terror” again

Watched it yesterday and hated it. I was looking forward to it too based on the trailers but it turned out to be a big hit ahistorical hit piece.

For example, no matter what you think of the guy, Napoleon was a bonafide military genius. In the movie, they made him seem like just one more of the bunch. Napoleon was famous for never being bothered by the gore of battle and the buzzing of billets, in the same vein as general Grant. In the movie they made him seem like a scaredy cat

In “Waterloo” you could see why French soldiers joined his cause in droves. Extreme charisma
