Sicko
I finally got a chance to see the Micheal Moore Movie Sicko. I usually don’t let movies affect me that much because I realize that there are two sides to every story, but for some reason this movie has really struck a nerve with me.
I am honestly disgusted to be a any part of this country or government, and am ashamed to wear this uniform. Seeing this film has opened my eyes to so many issue in this country, ones that I see first hand working in a health care system that is virtually “free” Even then there is a whole bunch of bullshit and loopholes to go through.
In addition to the whole health care fiasco that is going on in this country, it has rekindled old flames of things that I hate about the way our country is run, and has made me a very upset person. You should never attempt to write a blog when you are really upset so I will save the rest for a later date.
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

“This way, the interface does not get in the way.”
Ilya Birman on his blog talks about interfaces that unnecessarily slow people down, in a series of two posts. In the first one, titled “Let me click,” Birman shows a few places that force the user to go through a roundabout series of clicks, instead of tak...
via Unsung August 24, 2026Anger, Anxiety and Agency
Sean Goedecke wrote a post arguing that you should never be angry at work — a post with which I strongly agree. Anger can be a useful signal, but being angry at work rarely improves the situation. More often, it makes life worse for the people around you,...

Someone recently asked me what advice I’d give to a young developer today. My answer had surprisingly little to do with code. Here’s what I’d focus on: Learn How to Build Products Even if LLMs write most of the code, there is still a need for problem solve...
