Just don't know if I have the skin
To get it back, to get on in
Talk and write and walk The Web
when I can't even
leave my bed.

@bradwright HA! You just made me laugh. That was good :)
I'm a hair away from Pulling a Pilgrim. The vast majority of webdevs probably won't even know what that means now, and that is very sad.

The constant through all the upheavals in my life has been the emergence and evolution of the Web. I wonder now if that's not the problem.

@carywood @meyerweb @claudiasnell Not a gender issue IMO. Human. Fear, sorrow, helplessness, anger. Opting out for a bit can be therapeutic.

@jwilker And it's all true. The judgement used to offend me, now it just hurts my feelings and makes me tired and sad.

@jwilker Throughout the entirety of my career, 25+ years now. TMI, overshare, not relevant to the discussion, disruptive, whiny, childish.
@matbeeDOTcom @jwilker It feels that way, does it not? I'm the silly optimist who still believes we can *evolve* via social interaction.

@mattmay I always want to do better. I just don't know what better means or looks like.

It must not be easy to rollercoaster with me. I am bedbound now for 2+ years and am working in the dark here to find a way. I apologize.

Yet more private feedback that it is disconcerting that I talk about my medical situation within the same thread as technical commentary.

@vaughnandy @ow Ha! Well then I am both loud AND old. This grey hair on my chin proves the latter. Many will gladly confirm the former.

@TucsonNewsTrash Must defer to my friend @dstorey - Microsoft Edge Platform Engineer and Web standards advocate for more information, links.

@DomagojPa To my thinking, it's #historyRepeating in reference to human behavior, not devs. That's on me, I wasn't clear. Thanks! :)

To clarify @DomagojPa - A strong #developer can adapt effectively to programmatic changes than countless other people working with the Web.
