  • It’s broader than one farm, my mom is obsessed with doodles too. But prior to that had a purebred Bernese mountain dog. They’re great dogs, but have largely been bred into tragically short lifespans. Her’s died at 4 or 5 years old and averages at the time were like 6-8 years. So there’s the thought/hope that mixing with a broader gene pool available in the poodles will help them live longer.

    They are also supposed to shed less is a reason I’ve been given a lot, but they need grooming all the time so I think it’s bullshit. They are cute, but it’s mostly a bunch of online groups that are driving the trend.















  • The work/life culture was better than my preceding professional jobs, but the middle management was terrible, with 3 coming and going in 2 years.

    I became a consultant for one more year, and liked that more, but they ultimately got out of that business (Shopify and squarespace ultimately took that market around the same time).


  • I was working in web development and marketing back then, while you’re kinda right, and there were always “fires” (which were bullshit, because we mostly did clothing brand websites and tv show ads, not really important in the bigger scheme).

    We did manage to keep them from launching sites or features on Fridays. So we had chances to take them more (but still not enough).
