Back that shit up with evidence. I was once asked, “What can I say to make you stay?” I listed the new job vs my old one then said, “But… if you thought I was worth it, I would already be getting that.”

Bootstrapping a side project into a profitable seven-figure business in four years.

if i see the word agentic 1 (ONE) more time i will scream

A cool thing about being fucking terrible with names is that you're not going to accidentally deadname your friends (we've known each other for years and I straight up don't remember what your parents named you)

We outsourced to the cloud for feature velocity. We outsourced to SaaS for feature velocity. We outsourced to AI for feature velocity. All this focus on feature velocity and your product still sucks. Now you also have a less experienced staff. Why is that?

What’s the name of the emotion where you feel a sort of existential dread and general malaise because why aspire when the world is on fire, your efforts go unacknowledged, you don’t feel like you belong, nothing you’ve done seems to have the impact you wanted, and so doing anything new seems futile?

For roughly six hours a day for the past three days I’ve heard a guy at the booth next to the one I’m working at shouting “HENTAI! GET YOUR HENTAI HERE! GET YOUR YAOI HERE!” with the inflection of a circus barker Here to report that this has now become a vocal stim for me lmfao

Our fandom is rarely without some kind of controversy. It’s been like this since the times of message board wars and it feels like social media has only exacerbated this tendency towards grab…

So, two years ago today, almost to the minute, I was getting checked into the hospital after a Pretty Fucking Good suicide attempt I mark that day as my Re-Birthday, the day I chose to be here. Things have certainly not been easier since that day, but they have certainly been better.

One of the worst things about jobs that require a lot of travel is trying to remember what the fuck countries you've been to in the last 5 years when it comes time to renew global entry

Between 2014 and 2022, DigitalOcean sent free t-shirts to developers who completed the Hacktoberfest challenge. For entirely sensible reasons related to sustainability and spammy entrants, they stopped doing physical merchandise in 2023. I'm the sort of hip fashionista who only wears free conference t-shirts. GDS@GDSTeamWe support open source. And we’ve got the t-shirts to prove it (thanks @…

Another day, another rug pull. At least that’s what the cynical might say, as we as an industry once again are discussing the fallout of another company changing their software from what was previo…

Being ace is still such an odd experience If you get to feel horny in life, pls pour one out for me 😮‍💨

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Why are you trying to start another outrage mob? I used my own CNA, but I could have just as easily used Github's - the results would have been the same. The critical CVEs - both of them - were not reported by me, I just fixed them, with the minimum number of dependencies required to achieve that.

Today marks one year since I joined the Civil Service—what a year it’s been, with department changes and a new government along the way. Navigating digital accessibility challenges in such a large and …

It's so commercialised now, people have forgotten the meaning of flying ant day

Happy ‘flying ant day’ to all those who celebrate, personally I stopped after I learnt it was just invented by Hallmark as a ploy to sell more cards.

Avoiding naming Go packages after common nouns like <code>rate</code> or <code>server</code> so that they don&rsquo;t clash with variable names, and how to find a more fitting name for them instead.

Today, came across a Go package literally named "event". Such bland naming doesn't just hurt users, it hurts the package because being hard to google makes it less likely to be adopted. Ultra-generic naming isn't cool. It's just bad. For the love of god: https://brandur.org/fragments/go-no-common-nouns

If you, a business, are reliant on an open source project to function it is YOUR responsibility to assess and ensure the health of that project by either contributing to it yourself or by using an alternative if project health cannot be guaranteed.

I love this and I’m stoked about this, but I feel for OSS communities that don’t have the outsized impact and leverage of CNCF. This wouldn’t have happened to anyone else, I suspect [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I have never passed a single LeetCode-type interview. Because I didn't ever have to use this skill professionally & consider it ridiculous in the first place. That said, I have this interview today & I didn't have enough time to prepare. Yolo 🤪 Failing is still practice!

A few years ago, I quietly adopted a small principle that has changed how I think about publishing on my website. It's a principle I've been practicing for a while now, though I don't think I've ever …

Goofiness is by far the most underrated green flag trait I just want people I can goof off with, vibe out, have a good time and not care about what others might think Crazy how rare that is tho

Just finished mastering episode 24 of @fallthrough.fm, which is actually our 25th episode since our first was episode 0. For one, I’m amazed that we’ve been able to not only ship 25 episodes, but also do so every week (on the same weekday with a couple exceptions).

I wonder how many people at #nokings protests today didn't show up at the polls last year If you want democracy, you have to vote

Please answer the question again. I should remind you, you are under OAuth.

They're called "no tyrants" protests in Commonwealth nations 🫠.

Odin learned how to dig today. Also his name is now “Odin Bartholomew Cornelius, god of thunder roasted marshmallow Nash”

For me, the defining characteristic of open source is that you’re giving up control over your code. You can choose how much to give up, based on the license, but you pretty much always end up with …
