804 I have a father who calls every conversation “checking in” and every visit “just stopping by” — like naming what’s actually happening would require an emotional vocabulary he was never issued, and I’ve spent 30 years trying to decode a man who expresses devotion exclusively through logistics and proximity and never once through the actual words, and the translator in me is so tired but I can’t stop because if I stop trying to understand his language I lose the only version of him I’ll ever get

I have a father who calls every conversation “checking in” and every visit “just stopping by” — like naming what’s actually happening would require an emotional vocabulary he was never issued, and I’ve spent 30 years trying to decode a man who expresses devotion exclusively through logistics and proximity and never once through the actual words, and the translator in me is so tired but I can’t stop because if I stop trying to understand his language I lose the only version of him I’ll ever get

Idempotency keys: 5 граблей, которые мы поймали на проде

Пятница, 23:47.

If you find yourself telling an AI things you’d never say to your partner, your therapist, or your best friend, you’re not broken — you’re just exhausted from performing

You already know this version of yourself. The one who responds quickly, explains things clearly, holds the thread of a meeting together. The one who doesn’t visibly fall apart.

Quote of the day by Carl Jung: “Loneliness does not come from having no people around, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

Carl Jung wrote this line in one of his later works, somewhere in the 1950s, and the line has, since, become one of those quotes that floats around the internet attached to various images of solitary figures looking out windows. The line gets quoted, in most cases, as a piece of moody literary observation about ... Read more Read more
