My buddy Nate runs a small reptile rescue account and his posts usually get maybe 50 likes. He used #PetPhotosFriday for a picture of his bearded dragon, Gary, last week and it blew up to over 500. The algorithm seems to really push that specific tag right now, maybe because it's new and everyone is jumping on the trend at once.

Polished code is for people who don't actually want to build anything. My most useful programs look like a raccoon built them.

Yeah, getting desperate that fast is brutal. Been in similar spots and it really wears on you. Hope things turn around soon.

Tbh, forget the lab, real life's messy.
