  • What up, nerds?

  • I'm Jared, and this is ChangeLog News for the week of Monday, April 28th, 2025.

  • It has come to my attention, thanks to Camilo,

  • that the ChangeLog newsletter has been redesigned in Gmail.

  • I have changed nothing.

  • Google has announced nothing.

  • but the exact same email I sent a couple weeks ago looks radically different now.

  • Just another day in the world of distributed systems where a complete stranger pees into the wind and you get the privilege of washing urine off your clothes.

  • Oh well, let's get into this week's news.

  • I just want to code.

  • Zach belays lifelong enjoyment of both A, computers, and B,

  • Hustle culture has cultivated in him the classic angel and devil on the shoulder.

  • Zach says, quote,

  • I constantly find the devil on my shoulder trying to convince me to start a new side hustle.

  • Starting a new monetizable side project is like a latent addiction.

  • Giving in feels like relapsing.

  • The angel says, don't worry about some side hustle.

  • Just do well in your day job and code for fun as a hobby.

  • but the devil keeps telling me that you can be your own boss and earn what you're worth.

  • End quote.
