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.

This bar just said to transition

Liberals: We love LGBTQ+ folks. Their bosses: New policy: fuck LGBTQ+ folks. Liberals: Well, that’s ok too, we guess.

I never would have picked LinkedIn to be the last social network standing

i’ve often had men and women who had more power than me in a situation come up to me after i said the shit that had to be said and thank me and i hope you know i hold you in all in deep contempt [contains quote post or other embedded content]

What the fuck is the point of holding power if you don’t use it for good? [contains quote post or other embedded content]

One thing I am sick to death of is guys telling me on private backchannels that it's really cool how I speak up, because they "could never do that".

Stop Trying To Schedule A Call With Me - The harassment by SaaS

Made this to visualise what I did in 2024 through annual activity heatmaps. - Aebel-Shajan/year-in-data

Joined tech 5 years ago and it’s disappointing to see where the industry is going year after year. Same can be said about society in general but it’s kind of astonishing to compare 2019 tech culture with now.

i was thinking about how i'd like to set some intentions for the new year but have been blocked. i have more time on my hands than ever in my life, so i'm currently working on navigating that without the paralysis that comes from having so many options and ideas, and adhd - a damn hottie disorder. then i realized tonight, while scouring the live laugh blog archive, that i wrote one of these posts when 2024 started, so let's start there.

After a few minutes of wondering what I’m looking at, the answer turns out to be: Saturn

As the year wrapped up, I spent some time reflecting on my transition from a CyberSecurity engineer to Principal engineer which inspired me to write a blog about the steep learning curve of writing quality coding and—how I used #rust to reinforce my skills. Check it out and let me know what you think! https://tilde.club/~chimbo/blog/posts/rust-learnings-and-journey.html #RustLang, #Rust, #SoftwareEngineering, #CodingJourney, #CareerChange, #CyberSecurity, #OpenSource, #TechBlog, #blog

Redis' creator on why blogging is fundamental for successful projects, his writing process, and AI in writing

New job at a company where I'm customer-facing (professional services). I still don't know how much I want to cross my personal brand with the company brand, but either way I gotta start blogging and doing conference talks or I'm never going to meet my quarterly objectives. I wonder if there's a sweet spot where you can leverage the company reputation to build your personal brand as much as you're helping to build the company brand. Perhaps @shanselman may have advice here? #NewJob #EnterpriseLife

My favorite feedback I’ve every received in my life was when @krisnova.net was on a stage talking about the book we wrote together and she said how good of a dad I am to my kids ❤️ [contains quote post or other embedded content]

You shouldn't expect your job to be interesting or intellectually stimulating. Those are needs you fulfill in your free time, for example while you're driving to or from work

That's nice, @sessionize.com gave me a badge for being in the top 3% of speakers on their platform in 2024 https://sessionize.com/most-active-speakers-2024/ (Congrats @virtualized6ix.wtf who is top of the list!)

I am disturbed to think how far I would travel to be able to swing dance to a live rendition of the Super Mario Bros 2 overworld theme as excellent as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPSVW_H0ZyA

why are they called porn bots and not intrusive thots

Folks, do you think if Threads/Meta/Mark Zuckerberg were really that bad, John Mastodon himself would partner with them? Do you think they’d even be allowed in the Social Web Foundation? No, surely you’re mistaken. Otherwise, what does that say about John Mastodon and the Social Web Foundation? https://socialwebfoundation.org #SocialWebFoundation #Threads #Meta #Mastodon #partners #JohnMastodon #MarkZuckerberg

Weird sponsored LinkedIn messages peddling testosterone. Read the room people 😂 🏳️‍⚧️

Pardon the cross post, but this is evergreen. Going through your partner’s phone, email, etc is abuse. I don’t care how you rationalize it, there’s is never any reason to do it. If you don’t trust your partner, end the relationship, but don’t become an abuser to satisfy your curiosity.
