  • Had one of the best interviews in my time as a wage slave last week and really felt like I hit it out of the park. They said I’d know on Friday. Well here it is Monday and still donno. Should I keep holding out or just blow my brains out now get it over with?

    On a more cheerful note, I’m finally starting my dive into non-ML leftist theory and started Anarchy Works by peter Gelderloos and it’s been a pretty enjoyable read. The format is basically Idea, historical example, and synthesis of ideas with praxis for each chapter. But it’s clear and easy to digest. I’m 1/4 in and started Saturday and that with barely any time to read and I’m not a fast reader normally.

    I’m pretty sure I’m definitely not an anarchist but I like that I am developing a fuller understanding of the concepts. I do like the idea of little pocket anarchist communities popping up all the time tho because even if they never last, it does show that humans can still be communal for at least a moment.

    Might take a sidestreet after this book and read up on syndicalism since that’s also piqued my interest recently.









  • Disclaimer: I daily drive, including write code, on a Ferris Sweep.

    Each of my 4 thumb keys are tap for space, tab, enter, and backspace. But I hold one of those keys and I enter a dedicated layer for navigation, a 10-key number pad, a custom symbol layer, and my media and F-keys.

    It does take a bit of getting used to but the trade off is holding an extra key compared to having to lift my hand off of home row and moving to arrows, number row, number pad, etc. I basically never have to look at where my hands are and still retain 100% functionality of a full size board.
