I finally deleted my Facebook account today, after years of feeling uneasy about the service and months after resolving to delete my profile.

It actually feels freeing, despite the fact that I’ve barely used it for years. I would like to get rid of my Instagram account too, which will be significantly harder – the network effect among my social group is strong with this one. But it’s also an absolute trash-heap of influencer culture and algorithm rabbit holes, not to mention a huge distraction and time-sink for me.

I’ve often thought that lawyer pals would get a kick out of spending some time on a programming language learning website such as codecademy.com to get a quick peek at software development.
