Ok I did the thing! Here it is - a cover of Song to the Siren by Tim Buckley: https://soundcloud.com/flixography/song-to-the-siren-tim-buckley-cover

Anyone thinking "ok dude it's just some slightly irritating software, it's not that big a deal, you should chill out and get some sleep" is 100% right.

Just, like, every single day Jira and Confluence make my life just a little bit worse, a little bit harder. I really don't understand why we or anyone uses them. I understand that although the overall goals are fairly simple, getting the details right is much harder - but SO MANY of the details are wrong, and they never seem to evolve or improve, they just keep being bloated confusing messes with no consideration of how users actually operate / want to engage. Gah.

Good Lord I hate Atlassian software so much.
Today's ridiculous bit of nonsense: I upload a couple of images to a Confluence page. The images are the right way up on my phone and on my desktop, but in the preview window they end up sideways; there's no apparent way to rotate them back again. I put a note to this effect in the page because I haven't got time to sort this out. I save the page. The images are displayed the correct way up. I edit the page and remove the note 😑
And, if I don't even understand the thing that is for people who don't understand the cool thing, does that mean I'm a real grown up now and have lost all hope of ever being cool
anyway the objectively correct rubric for the trolley problem is "kill the occupants of the self-driving car first" because the people who should be made to bear the heaviest weight of signing lives over to a machine are the people who funded the machine's existence
Stories, games, indiepop and synths.
But here, mostly just chatting.
