Over a decade ago I wrote a thing about Gamergate that included a footnote along the lines of "You are free to disagree with me in comments, but if you attempt to argue that Gamergate is not a misogynistic hate movement I will replace your comment with 'Fart fart fart fart'". And I did. Encourage your enemies to spend hours writing 3000 word essays on why you're wrong and spend 5 seconds replacing it with "Fart fart fart fart". It's time they can't use against anyone else.

Doing #AdventOfCode in a language I used to know well enough to dream in but haven’t used for years, with Copliot enabled, is quite the experience.

In every tech organization, there are some people that seem to know every system, everybody, and every problem. They're super helpful, and save coworkers months of wasted efforts, by short-circuiting dead end paths, sharing efficient workflows, knowing which services already exist, and generally having great technical judgement. *None of those skills are quantifiable on performance reviews, other than peers saying thanks (if they're lucky). *Many underrepresented engineers fill these roles.

The corporation behind #Redis is now starting to chase #OpenSource client libraries claiming trademark violations https://github.com/redis-rs/redis-rs/issues/1419 and are attempting to have the projects transferred to them. If it wasn't obvious before, now is a good time to fuck the hell off from that software. Just use #Valkey or one of the other alternatives.
