@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me Loved the talk, some of the example comments sounded very familiar! I think my worst/best tired maintainer story was dealing with a user who was very insistent I urgently fixed a minor CVE introduced by a depdencency, with a suggested fix that would have introduced a bigger problem (segfault in extremely specific conditions vs timestamps suddenly changing timezone).

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me I am just the carrier, @mizkirsten@mastodon.social is the person to thank! 👍🏻

We’re starting back up hiring at incident.io and it’s made me think about why I joined, and why I’m still here just (if not more) as excited as day one.

2024 was my first year leading the Developer Experience teams at Capital One UK and what an incredible experience it’s been to work with such a great team and the individuals that make it. We kicked off 2024 focused on making a difference to the developer experience and set in motion the journey to

I identify as "network engineering curious".

Just so I’m understanding this. The same people who screamed about Hilary’s email server are cool with Elon walking in hard drives and connecting to systems with thousands of government employees Personal identifiable information….

You know what really grinds my gears is that when recruiters want something from you, you can't respond as quick as they'd like. Yet, when you want something from them (after telling you now is not the right time) they ghost you... fuck me huh

happy belated(?) new year, lol

Tomorrow I'll be standing up in front of a room of software developers talking about how to make pretty designs 😅 Looking forward to it #NDCLondon !

I love this for them. I hope they're all wiped out.

Made me chuckle!

Using Vim has definitely messed up my sense of "end of editing, confirmation" muscle memory. I always think "ESC" is what to press when done writing a post, editing a calendar event, etc. Most programs it just cancels the entire action.

Hey gang. In one week's time, I'll be taking to the Janson stage at #FOSDEM to talk about how #OpenSource helped the UK's Covid tracing app. https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4411-lessons-learned-open-sourcing-the-uk-s-covid-tracing-app/ I'd love to see you all there. It's a big room, so please bring a friend!

Happy New Year if it’s not too late. I like to keep celebrating the fresh opportunities of a year changing until we hit February. In each of my interactions this month I have been discussing …

@coldclimate It's not morality. It's protecting my peace. If that happens to be morally correct then so be it. The number of organizational changes the past two weeks has been wild.

It's extra annoying that the country is being run by several guys who couldn't make it through an interview for a regular job because they're too weird and don't know how to do anything

Lots of UK folk don’t know that medical cannabis is legal but it is through private clinics. There are obviously requirements & it’s heavily regulated (you’re not allowed to smoke, only vape) & you have to have had two other treatments for your condition that didn’t work. It can be pricey & things go out of stock if they’re popular & there’s lots of trial and error. But I’ve had success with it. I’m on it for pain but I get strains that are also effective for my ADHD.
