When I worked for a large company, they flew our software development team from Seattle to their financial HQ to kick off a project rebuilding their internal expensing software. We showed up in the usual worn band t-shirts/ripped jeans, most of us tatted up. The receptionist called security on our lead developer because she thought he was a homeless person who got into the building.

Not necessarily something that would get you into his music, but one of the coolest things I ever heard was when he was asked if he would still be able to play the Super Bowl halftime show in heavy rain, and he responded “can you make it rain harder?

Again, I feel introversion is being conflated with social anxiety. I’m totally fine with and even enjoy being around people, I just need a lot of alone time to recharge my battery. Though people see my confidence in social situations and never believe I’m introverted.

Obviously a privileged position, but I wish I were.

It’s a paid product, but I’ve heard good things about Kagi.

“Good to know” doesn’t necessarily mean they’re happy to hear this. They’re just glad to be aware of it, possibly so they can make adjustments.

Same. I turn 40 next year, and remember my dad at that age, but still feel like a kid.
