Highlights of first experience in tech the summer before college: - macromedia authorware. devs nicknamed it awfulware. - there was a slide in the office. my wallet chain got caught on it. - localized printed user manuals. output as .ps files. burned cds to mail to printer - paid internship. $9/hr. still higher than today’s national min wage.

Closed the twitter account I had for 18 years. Early posts were things like “need more coffee.” Such simple innocent moments, looking back. Funny how networked life potentiates both foreverness and ephemerality. The trivial and banal become permanent, but the personal connections and traces of meaning disappear in a click.

Writing software isn’t for the existentially faint of heart. So much code, so much effort, yet a staggering amount is painfully pointless. You have to find joy in the process or cling to irrational optimism that what you build might actually matter.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with work that doesn’t solve problems. It’s art or research or play, depending on where it’s conducted.
