Kind reposts

I cannot describe the intense visceral rage that envelops me when someone would rather waste my time with a meeting than simply writing something down. Fucking energy vampires.

People go to Stack Overflow because the docs and error messages are garbage. TLDR exists because the docs and error messages are garbage. People ask ChatGPT for help because the docs and error messages are garbage. We are going to lose a generation of competence and turn programming into call-and-response glyph-engine supplicancy because we let a personality cult that formed around the PDP-11 in the 1970s convince us that it was pure and good that docs and error messages are garbage.

You know what’s cooler than setting off fireworks? Not setting off fireworks. Shut the fuck up

There are multiple definitions of “witch” across cultures over time. But on #Halloween, this a spooky reminder that throughout history, a witch often meant a woman with opinions and an independent life persecuted by the patriarchy for not fitting in.

there are many reasons I personally use mostly FOSS but honestly a big part of it is just on the one hand there's software that doesn't have the feature because nobody's gotten around to implementing it yet and on the other hand there's software that doesn't have the feature anymore because someone intentionally decided to break it and coming into contact with the second one makes me feel super shitty!

If a company involved in the provision of food, energy, and related necessities of living increases or even maintains its profits during a time of increases in the cost of living, that company has by definition committed an immoral act.

Repeat after me: you’re not a burden because you need “reasonable” accommodations to function in your daily life.

If your customer service system is constantly experiencing "a higher volume of requests than normal" your normal is wrong and you're understaffed

What idiot called it "spiraling" or "obsessive thinking" instead of "riding the unhappy-go-round"???

Open source is fundamentally about people. It's an important value to me to pay that forward and throw a few dollars when I can to these champions of our industry. I appreciate GitHub sponsorship & Open Collective for making it really easy to do so. In the corporate world, it's my belief that organizations have a duty as well to harness their vast resources and pay these same maintainers their dues since they benefit the most off that labour.

The ADHD experience is having a growing collection of empty notebooks, pristine water bottles, and untouched to-do apps, each one a monument to good intentions.

All the stuff in your house used to be money. And all that money used to be time.

So McDonald's is giving away free fries for the rest of the year... ... if you use their mobile app ... and agree to the updated terms and conditions ... which say: if you use this app you waive your right to trial in any class action lawsuits against McDonalds." We live in the lamest dystopia. The stuff that got edited out of Snow Crash.

If you finally found the solution to your coding problem in a deep comment or something after having dozens of tabs open, you should write about it in your own blog. Really. Describe the problem in your own words and the solution for it, even if the solution seems really obvious now. Doesn’t matter. Give credit and whatever, but use your own words because you will be surprised at how many people will land on it. Write the blog post you wish you had found.

So.. you are “just not that into politics?” -Your Boss is -Your Landlord is -Your Insurance Company is And everyday they use their political power to keep your pay low, raise rent, and deny you coverage. It’s time to get into politics.

People will have an "evil arc" and it's literally just setting healthy boundaries.

The last few weeks of doing dev work has made me realize that maybe I'm ready to be a software engineer again, although I'd prefer something in a leadership role rather than being the one cranking out code. So if anyone is interested in me, I have a long, proven track record of building software that you've probably used and solving interesting problems to make it possible, and bringing interdisciplinary skills to the table to do so.

PSA to other folks who also frequently schedule meetings across the Atlantic: DST ends this Sunday in Europe but it doesn’t end until the following Sunday in the US—because if we’re going to fuck with the clocks let’s maximize the chaos and fuck with them at different times, sure, why not.

I have lived long enough to see the phase "there's an app for that" go from a marketing slogan to a threat

I still hate the new Slack UI.

never hurts to be reminded of the 4 mental health quick fix bandaids: if you hate everyone, eat if you feel like everyone hates you, sleep if you feel like you hate yourself, shower if you feel like everyone hates everyone, stop doomscrolling
