Since removing the office from my life, I think I spend more time at home and more time in social spaces.

Same here, I got out a lot more when I was WFH, even when I was hybrid, I would get out even on weekday afternoons/evenings and socialize a bit.

But we were just dragged in office full time again, and it's once again rare for my to step outside after work. Now I'm more likely to be mental exhausted and spend my time napping, and consuming low energy entertaining before the next day.

What can you expect from a substance blog tbf.

I saw an HN thread a while back where someone recommended a comprehensive book on some networking subject. I'm sure it was a good book, I was floored when I saw physical copies being sold fucking $700.

Unfortunately, a lot of the technical books I wish to read fall into this grift of academic texts.

Pretty much what I expected. It was very obvious to me it was just engagement hacking for money when I saw damn near every one has a list of irrelevant celebrity hashtags attached at the end.

Still, there are ones even stranger than the trash AI images targeting the attention of idiots. I saw a post seemingly advertising a real book, but for some reason, in the content of the post. The claimed the book was written by [Person A] while the photo of the book they posted clearly noted the author as [Person B]. Didn't seem like a simple accident either. The actual author had a name that looked to be of middle eastern origin, while the fale author was some west-African insert.

I wish, market is too dangerous right now though. I was out of work for significantly longer than I should have been because my one dealbreaker for the longest time was remote.

Current job started out 3/2 hybrid but full RTO is being mandated by the end of the month. Not looking forward to it.
