I am not sure what I did but when I posted photos from micro app it went to the blog and not the timeline. What gives? @help

Pakistan is playing in one the most rabid anti Muslim cities in India and the home monster who is a certified anti Muslim nationalist of highest order is in the crowds attending this India Pakistan match - is anyone actually surprised they are nott doing well? Pakistan team must be like fuck this shit we’d rather throw away the match than die!

After what feels like teo weeks work is beginning to speed up again in kitchen. The county approval process for permits and plans is so ridiculously slow even when you expedite it!

There is a valid criticisms against FAANG companies but I also think if you are in the right groups you get to work with some of the smartest people in the industry. Before boomeranging back to my company, I worked at a startup for 18 months which sounded promising on paper, and the reality was the absolute opposite of it. I spent 80% of time dealing with overtly sensitive engineers, PMs and other people in the company. The whole time I was there I felt like I was walking on eggshells, and absolutely nothing got done because everyone seemed to be on edge of blowing up all the time, in the name of DEI and umm, wokeness. I couldnt get ONE fucking thing launched in the company because of the sensitive babies at work who needed so much mollycoddling and hand holding it felt like I was in a fucking toddler day care. So when I came back it was refreshing that I could be… myself and get shit done. Everyone’s got a job to do, we are blunt with our feedback, there’s no hard feelings at end of the day, and at the end of it all I was able to a launch something with 5x less engineers than I had at the startup. What a fucking relief.

Third product launch of my career this week and I am proud of it! I work with a great bunch of engineers and product folks who make it so much more fun. This week was the first time we all met in person and it was so nice putting a face on people and getting to know them better. There is absolutely no substitute for real human connection. I am not pro RTO at all but weeks like these convince me a hybrid model is the way to go.

Zero empathy for clowns who elected clowns to the house. Stupid voters elect stupid people.

I honestly think M Night Shyamalan makes perfect in flight movies!

Nothing is more stupider than two people disembarking the same flight asking each other “how was your flight”.

Always fun when the entire team is getting drunk.

Omg Seattle weather at this time of the year is absolutely dreadful.

As I am getting older I have such low patience for work trips anymore. 2 days in and already feeling like such a chore. Already ready to be back home!

Din Fai Tung is an institution. Enough said.

Seattle is so uppity

I feel really really bad for Israel but I find it hard to empathize too much also. The outcome of this is only thing - Israel will completely annihilate Palestinian people and whatever remains of their identity. Terrorism is never ever an answer to anything but their continuous persecution of Palestinians for decadeses does not help not either. Truly sad situation all around.
