A Few Degrees: Episode 26

We Crave Death: Episode 27

A look at the sterilization goal of American culture in our food and our avoidence of drama. Also our fascination with drama in entertainment. I do dive into my history of experiencing suicidal behaviour, and a puzzling aspect of capitalism that I have no solution for. If you are feeling like you might harm yourself, please go to the nearest emergency room or call a crisis hotline. If your in the US the Suicide and Crisis Hotline can be reached if you dial 988 or visit https://988lifeline.org. Even if you don't believe your situation is temporary, I believe in life more than enough for both of us <3. Your host, Firecrow Silvernight: https://comparebasic.com/team/firecrow.html

A Few Degrees: Episode 26

How the economy of banking, business culture, and recognizing kindness and decency can put us back on track. I think we are only a few degrees off, but it's been off for a long enough time that it looks more massive of a problem than it is. In an effort to be more inspiring, supportive, and meaningful. I'm focusing on three areas that I believe would make our society one that we all love to live in. Having taken a month long invoulentary break from this podcast, casued by being busy starting a new day-job loosing the microphone I used to record, I am finally organizing my thoughts into what I hope is a reset.

Us or All of Us: Episode 25

In the age of pillaging and stealing, having a healthy economy to steal from was a requirement. Now the requirement is the talent to transform and innovate. I talk a lot about personal experience and why I have compassion and also what is wrong with the idea of status driving so much of our economy. Note: The second band that I forgot to mention who released a great able a decade after the single they were known for is Three Days Grace. You may now them from the song I Hate Everything About You.

Safe for Work: Episode 24

Unpacking what of a whole human could grow at work personally to grow a business and how effort-intensive leisure activities may be a window into a better work experience. I talk about the difference between proffesionalism and a hobbyist. I also make fun of what people think money can buy: the ability to treat people however you want to. And conclude that work life-balance is not up for debate. If you think it is: next time your phone has a low battery give it a pep talk instead of a phone charger!

Agile the Good Parts: Episode 23

This week I go over the parts of Agile development that I miss, in an effort to reframe what has happened with my soloprenuer journey over the last two and a half years. The title is modeled on a book by Douglas Crawford titled JavaScript the Good Parts. I also go into why LLM based AI may be the wrong answer to the right question: how to make programming more responsive, and how to make user interfaces smoother. My answer is that visual scripting, such as what is found in game engines or 3D modeling and rendering software, is a better option to delivering high quality software than the impersonation aspects of LLM AI.
