We don’t get a lot of kids on our street, but we always decorate and hand out candy. We made it a point to sit outside this year so kids were more comfortable walking up. I don’t really dress up, but I’m a metalhead with long hair and all of my attire is pretty goth and dark, so Halloween is when my wardrobe becomes even more relevant.

My wife and I walked the neighborhood and got to walk through 2 scare zones in people’s yards, and then someone gave us Jell-O shots lmao.

I’m 45 and will never age out of this stuff. Next year I want to decorate more, project Halloween movies on the house, and hand out candy. 🤘

Our cat Toph is a spicy tortie. She likes to bite when she gets super happy and excited. It’s almost like emotions come to a head and that’s the only way she can get them out. She’s insanely affectionate but it would drive some folks away (we’re actually convinced we found her after someone had thrown her out; probably for being spicy). We understand her 🫂

Bookmarking this one for later. Thanks! It’s hard not to feel like my entire field has been cheapened. We spent so long perfecting our craft, only for it to to be completely devalued with speed as the main focus.

The bright side is that AI will never be as good as me when it comes to CSS. I’m still the go-to CSS person at work, despite folks having AI tools at their disposal.

As someone that uses AI at work because 1. this is a run-out-the-clock situation, and 2. I don’t give a fuck and would like to be at my desk as little as possible, it feels weird and hypocritical to expect no AI in all of the software around me as well.

With that said, if I still had any semblance of passion for writing code, which I do not, anything I worked on for the OSS community would be fully devoid of AI usage. But I’m mentally at a point where I’d rather move to a cabin and use computers less and less with each passing day.
