  • I work in energy r&d, and have for several jobs over the years now.

    My sadness is transmuted into passion for solving these issues from the ground up. Top brass is interested in “stock options” and blah blah blah, I’m just focused on solving technical problems to make efficient, powerful energy production that isn’t hard on the earth.

    The money won’t matter if there’s nowhere to live. My efforts may not be enough, ultimately, but I’ll die knowing I tried to help solve the problems we’ve caused.

    I’m not gonna do that, fuck that. I do hope this much screen time is ok for kids, even as a young programmer I didn’t have an iPad everywhere. Nobody seems concerned about their privacy, but guess what: neither did my millennial peers.

    I think everything will be ok with alpha and Z. Let’s not repeat our the mistakes of our parents.




  • I agree. We collectively overconsume, where are the manufacturers with pride in building quality devices that just work?

    I’m a hardware engineer, I’d be embarrassed to release some of the shit I’ve seen onto the market for public consumption.

    The rules are simple: solid state where you can, robust enclosures that can withstand common cleaners & IV exposure, geometry that makes it difficult for those cleaning fluids to get into the electronics. That’s it, you’ve got most people covered with a reliable device to interact with daily. Pinch pennies on the RGB LEDs, not the housing!
