About me:
I'm a queer, non-binary, autistic, long-haired metalhead from New York who is prone to delusions of erudition. My day job is in software development, so I probably helped build the crappy cyberpunk dystopia in which we all live. (Sorry.)
I'm also the author of...
...and a few other stories and novels.
My websites are...
- matthewgraybosch.com (personal website, tech)
- starbreaker.org (my science fantasy pastiches)

Hey!! Thanks for accepting my friend request! My name is Nikkie & I make pop music. I can’t wait to get to know you! Hi. I'm Matthew. I code for a living and write scifi on my lunch breaks. by starbreaker; ; Report Hi Matthew! It’s cool that you write Do you have any specific favorite sci-fi troupes you like to write? I've got soul-searching androids, swashbuckling sopranos, conspiracies, demons from outer space, and a big fluffy cat who can play Texas Hold 'Em but hasn't learned to bluff. by starbreaker; ; Report |

What’s up starbreaker !?!? Hope you are having a great day Well, it's ten to five so it'll get better soon. by starbreaker; ; Report No, I'm just one of those dirty commies who thinks that while the forty hour workweek was a good start, we should have kept pushing until a person could support their family on an eight hour workweek. LOL by starbreaker; ; Report Yea how come we’ve become more productive with all this industrial and technological stuff and still work 40 hours!?! Hmmm If you're curious, the late anthropologist David Graeber explored that question in his 2013 article "On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs, and in his subsequent book Bullshit Jobs: A Theory. by starbreaker; ; Report I may look into it. Unfortunately I work closer to 60+ hours and not enough staff to get everything done 60+ hours? You don't get paid enough for that shit. by starbreaker; ; Report Oh, you get overtime pay? Nice. Too bad programmers like me don't. by starbreaker; ; Report Yikes, but you can start a side project and grow it into a multimillion dollar company? Been there, done that, and lost my shirt. Besides, the startup hustle doesn't leave time for art or women, let alone eating or sleeping. by starbreaker; ; Report They just see advances in productivity as an avenue to make more money. If it didn't do that they would not take on the innovations because it involves front-end investment. Of course not. Then again, if we keep pushing up productivity without getting paid more, doesn't that make us suckers? by starbreaker; ; Report |

Hi there! Thanks for accepting. Cool, well thought-out profile. All the best Thanks, but I wasn't really thinking straight when I threw this profile together. I was using Red Bull to compensate for lack of sleep. =^.^= by starbreaker; ; Report |

Yes! Both CD and Bandcamp Sweet. I asked because I like owning my music instead of renting it. I figure musicians are more likely to get paid that way. by starbreaker; ; Report Yes, for sure! It definitely helps the artists in a better way. Although plays on streaming services also help the artist in different ways. in the sense of the algorithmic gods pushing our music out to more people Thank you! But buying CD's/music straight from the artist is a HUGE help! by Smooth Kiwi ; ; Report |

Thanks. I know it's kinda drab compared to other people's profiles, but I was aiming for lightweight and readable.
