Have you ever felt the pressure of breaking the build?

We had the current build status projected on a large wall…

If you broke the build, everyone knew about it!

My anxiety went through the roof the first time I had to commit my code…

In another role, I received the dreaded email that my last deployment was holding up the release of several other teams with looming deadlines…

Ah, yes, Joan Didion's revolutionary therapy revelation: start where you are. 😲 Who would've thought a psychiatrist might suggest such a radical approach? 🧠📚 Meanwhile, readers are left wondering what we've all been doing wrong – probably just living life without Vogue-approved #guidance. 👀🗞️

The New Yorker · Joan Didion’s Notes on TherapyBy Joan Didion

Despite nearly 5 years of research and experimentation leading to so many strategies for task initiation and sustaining attention as well as coping with chronic anxiety and crushing self doubt, I still get stuck regularly

A silver lining for this (for this project, at least) is that I can use this time to try to understand why I'm stuck, and use this to refine my ideas and solutions. One day I hope to produce a simple flowchart style diagram that I (and hopefully others) can use to help in these situations

I've officially started a mutual aid collective called Queer Trans Thriving which prioritizes providing queer & trans affirming holistic health services to those within our community who may not have access to such services. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

If you're queer or trans and in need of these services, don't be afraid to reach out.

For those of you with more financial stability, please consider donating to support this cause! See link below.

Excellent commentary : climate change and suicidal behavior risks

nature.com/articles/s41591-025

"we argue that the impacts of climate-related hazards on suicide risk should be understood using an ecological framework situated within a developmental life course perspective. In other words, risk and protective factors are situated within individuals, families, communities and societies that evolve across the life course"

In software engineering, we are often encouraged to think about our contribution...

👉 What did " I " do yesterday...?
👉 What am " I " doing today...?

The language we use, both inwardly and outwardly, sets the tone for how we work and interact with others…

Software engineering is a team game; our language should reflect that…

The obvious:
👉 What did "the team" do yesterday?
