There really is less competition every day. Sports betting, OnlyFans, DoorDash, pop culture news BS (The Shade Room), keeping up with everyone. I’m probably missing some, but most people can’t even concentrate and stop looking at their phones. Lol

There really is much less competition than you think. Most people on their phones doom scrolling daily.

I feel like 50% of my job as a Devops engineer is dealing with TLS issues. Its annoying.

Compound interest baby.
Roth update. Back in the zone. Still holding Tesla and Meta while still contributing my max every year (eating the fee since no W-2 yet) The cars drive themselves and Zuck is a resilient as it gets. Risk will get trimmed into the decade

It’s crazy to me how cheap things are in Houston. Guy told me he has a 4,000 sqft home and has a team come clean the entire home for $200. They change the bed sheets and everything.

If I post it I will lose followers and possible future opportunities. Just know I had fun in the Gears and CoD lobbies as a teenager.

The way gaming is going I’ll have to just buy from independent devs on steam.

BREAKING: The Federal Reserve officially hikes interest rates by 25 basis points, marking its first rate hike since July 2023. This ends the longest Fed interest rate pause since 2008.

The same two recruiting firms have called me at least twice a week for the past 5 years. They keep trying to lowball me so ignore every call. I have to admire their dedication though.

Washington, DC. People from Baltimore were confused about why I was obsessed with going to DC after my internship at HHS. I knew there was so much opportunity in DC to expand in every way. Most people from Baltimore barely even go from one side of town to the other.
What city made you realize your hometown was thinking too small?

It’s sad really because a global city is an hour away from Baltimore but yet most people back home are obsessed with which high school you went to. Philly is 2 hours away NYC is 4 hours away All can accessed by car or train.

Growing up as a 90s kid Nike was like a global symbol. It doesn’t really hold the same weight as it used to.
Nike is one of the biggest failures in the last 15 years for this reason…

Yikes
Broadcom just made it significantly harder to leave VMware. The company quietly removed public downloads of the Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK), with no announcement and no alternative route provided. This library sits at the core of nearly every VMware migration tool on the market, including offerings from Microsoft, Red Hat, and Nutanix. If you need it now, you have to contact Broadcom support and hope your account shows the right VMware entitlements. Many customers are already reporting 404 errors and being told the library is simply "unavailable." This is not an accident by the way. This is a deliberate business decision by Broadcom to keep user with VMWARE. How else will they justify their acquisition?
