gift idea for the orchidectomy recipient in your life: fancy chocolate truffles with an embossed card: “YEET THOSE ORBS / EAT THESE ORBS”

Or I could get so bored and burnt out I quit code and gtfo Silicon Valley and draw t-shirts for a living lol

I’m about to hit ~ten years of coding and I’ve felt kind of stagnant in my career for a while.

I don’t know what the next level above “darn good frontend dev” is—whether I need to move into product or management to have greater influence, or just go somewhere large and/or frontend-focused enough where a “mere” frontend dev can be a tech lead. All I know is going fullstack is not where my interests lie—I’m not allergic to backend code when needed but it’s not going to get me where I want to go.

I don’t have another job lined up yet (though I do have interviews scheduled)—interviewing while still working was just too hard to juggle.

Going to take some time off to recharge and figure out what I want to do next. Very lucky that that’s something I can afford to do! (Also an effort to confront my fears of going broke (again) head on.)

Last day at $currentJob!

I have a cold, but I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to call in sick your last day?

I’m doodling concepts for a logo for a friend’s infosec team (at Google Fuchsia) and boy howdy it’s hard to 1) get the idea of “security” across, 2) be pleasant to look at, 3) not be super intimidating / have a positive vibe, and 4) not be done a billionty times before (hello land of generic, mostly-blue locks and keys and shields)

So far this is the only concept that I don’t hate. Flower shield! #art
