Fare thee well Polywork. You were never as interesting as your initial marketing, and a desperate AI pivot didn’t change that.
I really wish it had been the hip cool LinkedIn alternative they described at first, but it felt like more of a Fiverr alternative and somehow less useful than that? Then an AI-powered Link In Bio for LinkedIn users?
Anyways.

Gotta remember that I don’t know how much English the dogs know.
@IamMrsGeek steps out the door for an appointment. Jumpy Dog looks at the door a little uncertain.
Me: “Let’s hope she comes back!”

@tek sorry you’re picking up on my anxieties. My drawing iPad’s getting old, I’m broke, and I worry about breaking it.

Discussing how we can probably put the Christmas tree away soon, seeing as how Barry’s put about half the decorations away already.

I have most of a decent blog post written, but the final bits aren’t satisfying. So of course I’m puttering with #Nushell, which is not part of the blog post. Keeps me entertained while the rest of my brain works out the important stuff.

Thought it was javelinas banging garbage bins but no the noise is just fireworks.
How banal.
