    Fair enough, but I honestly find it ghoulish regardless of the surrounding terminology.

    There are plenty of worse ways for people in good health to make money, and I understand the desire to improve one’s personal health and prolong life (assuming you have one you enjoy), but there’s just something I find deeply unsettling and intensely objectionable about it all.

    Especially when there’s all these “adrenochrome” and “vampire” crazy conspiracies giving them air cover so to speak.

    Edit: I think what bothers me is that if it does work, it’s restricted to the elite, and if it doesn’t then we’re negatively impacting the donor’s health for no reason.







  • Apologies if you’ve heard this before:

    Something useful to remind yourself is that if you fail to do something you agreed to do, that’s you failing.

    If your boss can’t find someone to do something they need done outside of normal hours, that’s them failing.

    Likewise if you tell them you can’t get something done because you’re only one person, it’s their responsibility to fix that, not your responsibility to bridge the gap. If it was truly so important to get done, they would have more hands to get it done. Otherwise they’re just blowing smoke and it can wait a day/weekend/week/until you actually have time.


  • More features for our employee account lifecycle automations. The coding isn’t as much the hard part as keeping track of all the different moving pieces and how it all interacts.

    For example, when using Azure Enterprise App user provisioning to sync data into AD from an HR system, it can only set the Name (separate from DisplayName) property when creating a new user. This limitation isn’t documented anywhere I can find, and it doesn’t even show as an error in the logs when it tries to update an existing one and fails.


    It’s the curse of “one man army”: this shit is too complicated to keep it all in my head at one time, and also too complicated to bring anyone up to speed in a reasonable time frame. So I’ll continue soldiering on with it on my own. Thankfully the end is in sight.

    Don’t do this sort of shit for any boss that isn’t worth it. Mine has no overtime expectations, is very obviously training me to move upward within the team, and each of the last two years I’ve gotten >10% raises.
