i work, and i have worked, at places whose opinion i'm not authorized to have. so these are mine.

the last song lyric to get stuck in my head:
"this world is much too dangerous for someone lacking luck"

The latest masterpiece from my friend, fan artist The Orion! I would join Starfleet just based on this poster alone.
#StarTrek #LowerDecks :cerr:

The ORION

Star Trek Lower Decks inspired illustration of T'Lyn by fan artist The Orion. She is rolling up her sleeves in a pose like the "Rosie the Riveter" poster. Her word bubble says "We are capable of completing the task." Below, on the bottom left, the poster issue date is the year 2380 to present. At the bottom right is the silver Starfleet delta sponsored by Starfleet HQ. Their recruiting slogan "Ad Astra per Aspera" is below.

Found online years ago...

The entire Dune cycle is based on a terrible pun.
1. The spice is called melange.
2. The spice confers power and longevity.
3. Melange is a French word for variety.

In other words, variety is the spice of life.

Why does no one ever talk about this?

I don’t agree in one respect:

Neither OOP nor FP (nor 4GLs nor IDEs nor SOAs nor any of the other new hotnesses past) had anything remotely resembling the current money behind them. None led to companies speculatively laying off tens of thousands of employees for imagined productivity boosts that had not actually arrived yet. None shaped whole election cycles, or led to national proposals for preemptive deregulation. None led to the construction of nuclear power plants or the draining of rivers. None sent oligarchs or fascists into spasmodic wet dreams of world domination. None started quasi-religious cults like EA.

All •that• is the part that feels like blockchain — but even worse, if such a thing is possible.

JURASSIC PARK was released 32 years ago today. Also, Jurassic Park is a cautionary tale about how you compensate IT staff :P

An image showing the Jurassic Park logo with text below that reads: "The entire fiasco of Jurassic Park could have been avoided by just hiring more than one IT guy."
