I can't imagine not programming... what, am I going to do things manually like a cave man?

That's nice that tether management gets to keep all that interest!

There are some plugins for PyCharm (and possibly other jetbrains editors?) that let you see all your lambdas and invoke them right from the IDE.

Print out pictures on my printer and mail them.

Man I can't believe BBEdit didn't make the editor list!

When you're in the thick of it, just remember, it won't be like this forever.

I used to work at a big bank, and would just wear nice dress shirt/dress pants. Whenever I saw a "vest" guy I would think 1) you guys really all look the same, and 2) aren't your arms cold and your torso hot?
I now work at a SV fintech, and it's impossible to figure out what to wear to meetings. Do I wear biz causal? Shirt tucked or untucked? Jeans and t-shirt? Sneakers, loafers, leather sneakers? Can I wear shorts? Does it matter if you're in SF or NYC?
The dress code is way harder than in banking.

You can debate inflation, but does anyone really expect our government to do the right thing when it comes to spending and taxation?

One of my summer jobs in high school was that of "towel boy" at the swim and tennis building of a country club. My only job was to sit in front of the towels, make the guests sign the clip board, and count how many towels they took. I wasn't allowed to read or do anything because I was told it would look bad, so I literally sat in a chair all day holding a clipboard. I got so bored that for amusement I would write down 100 random digits, memorize them, and recite them to some of the kids running around.

I did the same thing at JHU (albeit only 15 years ago). My project was a pill dispensing machine for a quadriplegic man.
