Hi all!

I was just in my hometown officiating a wedding (all reports indicate that I killed it, but I can’t remember a single moment from the ceremony) and it made me all nostalgic. Figured I’d channel that energy into checking in on Hubski for the first time in several years. Glad to see people are still kicking around!

The 5e thing feels like a SOLIDLY millennial trait to me as a cusper. I think internet culture was obsessed with D&D stories for awhile, and as the broader culture moved on, younger spaces sought to differentiate themselves and things just didn’t really carry down

That said, BG3 definitely introduced the idea to a lot of folks! So maybe I’m full of shit, actually

Also hi Hubski, haven’t seen you in like 2-3 years!

Staring down the barrel of a 3.5 project handoff meeting. I feel nothing in particular. I think nothing insightful. I am a receptacle for the edge-cases of small Midwestern businesses. I am, most importantly, a series of neural pathways that conveniently remember how to provision Azure resources

I've got two weeks of PTO starting on Monday, and my plans begin with staring at the ceiling until I feel something...and idk, probably kayaking or something?

Make a pair of insanely cumbersome goggles and tell people it's your "Tall Suit" when they ask!

Alternatively, the periscopes could be sideways and you can tell people you "Wanted to see through the eyes of a noble praying mantis"

My sister's been going through this a bit. She's studying for the MCAT right now, and her scores on practice exams dropped a bit after COVID-19 and haven't recovered as quickly as she wants. She also feels that persistent brain fog, and says it's harder for her to find the words she wants.

Short answer:

I think so?

Long answer:

I'd effectively be a lead dev on like 30 student projects simultaneously. It sounds stressful, but I also know they aren't doing anything technologically groundbreaking and it could be a really useful accelerator to pick up some skills I want to lay claim to in the future. I'd also get to deliver lectures and spend my free time picking up new technologies (essentially fucking around w/ side projects so that I can be a better resource for students). The role seems really flexible, and I'd get to use my natural soft-skill talents more than I do in my current in-the-trenches dev job. So...Probably? I think so!

Plus, I'd get to say I was the assistant director of an entire school on my resume. Kinda nifty.
