The irony of all the Americans on Red Note is that it's the best propaganda for the Chinese government inside China. When you live in an oppressive regime, but you can afford groceries and rent and not worry you might die because you can't afford it - the other oppressive regime looks less appealing.
I tripped over my gf bra this morning. A Boobie trap if you will.
Sure, we talk about platform engineering, but more importantly, business cards.
If your phone support lines are forever "receiving higher than normal demand" then your definition of "normal" needs updating, as does your support headcount
It used to be that I’d see LinkedIn notifications celebrating people being at the same big tech for 5, 10 or 15 years and roll my eyes. Why celebrate someone staying in their comfort zone and getting paid well? Now I think “Congrats on surviving so many rounds of layoffs” 🫡
normalize wearing n95 masks not just to avoid illness but also because it is fucking freezing outside
Well I’ve now had to post on Bluesky to ask someone if they know their software is broken, because that’s where they are. Complaining At Brands is exactly how Twitter got me so I guess I’ve put myself on the slippery slope now
Over the last three and a half weeks I’ve become such a potato that I’m considering changing my name to Maris Piper

this year (next month!) is 10 years since I left the abusive household I grew up in and stopped talking to my family very thankful for my chosen family, many of whom are here. I wouldn’t be alive right now without you.

Teams who give monkeys power tools and let them in the engine room, how do you prevent them from breaking your engine?
@thcrt@fops.cloud You hire an army of senior developers to audit the AI results *or* you don't do AI. One of those is more expensive, the other is what you did before AI. It should be very clear that there's no "keep the AI but make it cheap and effective" path available.
Gems are the things we love, and warts are the things we don't. On today's episode, Kris is joined by the hosting panel of Ian, Matt, and Dylan and they are talking about the gems and warts of Go. From defer, to net/http, to vanity URLs, to modules, we cover around 30 topics! To prevent our...

An existential moment for Duck Alignment Academy. I've mostly tried to keep the content evergreen. I have proto-thoughts on the Mastodon announcement, but I'm not sure if DAA is the right venue or if I should put it in the DAA newsletter or on my personal blog (or as a thread on Mastodon for maximum obnoxiousness)
I want to see that masculine energy doing the dishes. Meeting with the kids’ teachers. Washing and folding the laundry without being reminded five times. Caring for the sick. Speaking up for women’s rights. De-escalating conflicts. Defending against toxic and violent speech. Promoting equality. Building a better world for people who are suffering. Learning from young and old, all genders and ethnicities. Being kind. That’s the masculine energy I want to see.

Mat Ryer is back! He plays the piano, we tell each other truths/lies, we pay homage to the 8" floppy disk, Mat accepts an open source medal, and so much more. It's a real circus. MatGPT!
You mean the same dipshit billionaire who was wrong about knowing how to rescue kids trapped in a cave *also* doesn't know shit about fighting fires? Elon Musk is not really a smart person, but the people that think he's smart are among the stupidest people the world has ever known.
"Legacy code" is often code that you want to replace because you don't understand it. The problem is, before you can replace it, you need to understand it, and, once you understand it, replacing it is rarely the cheapest option any more. #SoftwareEngineering

I'm sorry and I know this is so incredibly petty, but I find it really hard to take a person's salty rant about open source seriously once I notice they hyphenate open source
Oooh, look at Sainsbury’s, with their fancy new Latin motto like they’re bleedin hogwarts Grow up
We get robins on our bird feeders all the time but I finally caught one on camera in the snow 😄☃️
Having a lazy morning in bed with two cats and Kim and I can’t adequately express how content I am. Traveling to NYC the next 2 weeks, and I’m already looking forward to coming home to more of this.
