Today I want to talk a bit about the multiple meanings of independence. I'm going to focus a bit on trying to navigate different forms of independence that I've grown to recognize as healthy and good in life and career, and some forms that I'm increasingly seeing as toxic. I'm also going to daydream a bit about the future.
But first, where have I been???
It's been nine-ish months since I wrote on this blog. Sorry about that, I've got good reasons.
I've been a Drupal developer for nearly the entirety of my professional web development career, spanning the last decade. Ironically though, since I first published my own personal website, I don't think I've run it on Drupal for any significant amount of time.
Decide, move, do something. We have to figure out how to solve this problem. There has to be a way to make this work, we have to deliver on what was asked.
Except, we don't always have to do that.
Far too often we forget what might be the best option at the current moment, and that is simply to do nothing.
Couple of weeks into full Quest 2 ownership, I was not expecting to like doing VR stuff quite this much. I have been into sim racing (mostly Dirt Rally) for a few years now and wanted to take that experience to the next level, but honestly, I am spending more and more time using the other experiences. It is surprisingly fun, despite the draw backs of the hardware. I’ve been getting stuck staying up late doing weird crap like pretending to be a motorsport mechanic in the game Wrench, changing people’s oil, coolant, transmission fluid and tires.
