mastodon 4.7.3Long-time software engineer and photographer, also tech leadership coach, rock climber, writer, and father.
I love software, generative art, visual geometry, whiskey, and electronic music.
In mid-January I was fired from my job by incompetent leadership. Weeks later, they, too, were suddenly jobless. Through personal connections and some luck, I find myself reinstated.
So far I have released 50% of a pretty large new feature that needs to be done by the end of the month, which is not unusual nor shocking.
But since I came back, I have written zero code. Like, literally, I have not written a single line of code.
And I don't know how I feel about it.

Back injury while bouldering derails a good climbing session with friends, but the company and recovery protocol keep spirits up.

A chaotic week of school vacation, heat pump loans, and a family Easter mix-up that somehow still came together.

Marathon Monday passed me by, yard work is on the horizon, and the chaos of the season calls for resilience over perfection.

Navigating a furnace outage, car repairs, and yard projects while nursing sore forearms from a solid climbing session on 4/20 & Marathon Monday.
