I hate getting old. I still want to root for Adobe, but after watching them dismantle and kill so many great technologies over the years it's just hard to watch when the pick up another great product and not fear the worst.

I hit the home screen of Amazon yesterday and the whole thing was telling me about a future NFL game between two teams on the other side of the country. It even had a count down to kickoff in the menu bar. I couldn't feel less understood.

It's true. Unfortunately almost every MM product is dead. Parted and pieced into other things in some places, but gone none the less. :( I hope Figma fairs well in the Adobe chop shop. I really liked that product.

RIP Figma :( bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Although sometimes it does take me a couple days to reply to things :)

I don't want to call anybody out, but do I have any friends with an Android phone that would test something for me? Bonus if you're a wine drinker. (might not be a complete waste of time) #iosSlave #onlyApple #noTestDeviceForMyPWA #PWAinstall

I have turned off all notifications for my social media accounts. So I only go on when I actually have time or an interest.

I think all of those need to be doubled.

I think @getridwell takes in that kind of stuff in our bi-weekly service. They use local providers for recycling.

I think it depends. We love the choices both the previous home owners made. We have been in our house for almost 20 years.

Build, Test, Deploy! Build and test on any branch, deploy on develop. Build, Test and Manual deploy on Main. Everyone should do it, even if all you "test" is linting.

Is that like "if you have to ask if its to early to start drinking we can't be friends" ?

Not sure if I am winning or losing when I start chanting “hookers and blow” on a client conference call.

I feel like this is a "Congratulations!" type of moment, but also that feels wrong in some way. I doubt this is a new revelation to you. I am so happy you are expressing your full self. I am sure gay Mike is fucking awesome. I look forward to learning more of him. :)

So glad I am not alone. I can't seem to shake off this feeling.

I don't personally see this as any different from Stocks. That stuff has never made any sense to me :)

I think something important in this space is to differentiate some of the uses. Some blockchains are for currency and some are for tokens that represent something. Digital currency fluctuates just like IRL. Value of tokens varies with the value of the item it represents. IMHO :)

I just got my booster today, so I think I sit on your side of the debate. That being said, this pandemic ends when everyone has antibodies. And there are only two ways to get them. Get Vaxxed or get COVID. So if the stupid die to get us there ...

I find there are 3 big uses of NFT's. They represent the ownership of: 1. Real Items in the Real World 2. Virtual Items in the Real World 3. Virtual Items in the Virtual World I think 2 is where all the noise is at and it's useless. But 1 and 3 have great potential.

Sitting here working, listening to my dog snore and knowing my entire family is still in bed at 10am. I am a little jealous, but also very proud to be able to provide for them all in this way. 2021 - I am grateful.
