going viral on here was such a pleasant experuence

The one thing about writing for me, at least online, is that with my newsletter, I have no idea what people like unless they reply (and y'all do!). That lack of knowledge reduces my pressure to "make more like that" and allows me to just flow. With my website, that's also something I'll be able to discern since I have privacy respecting analytics. I'm tempted to remove that as well and use semantic engagement (likes, boosts) as such a metric. Or or or, I could just keep doing what I want.

I really hate that engineers have made "marketing" such a dirty word because honestly this last year I realized I'm actually a damn good "marketer" and somehow by saying that I fear I lose all my technical credibility. Engineering can build all the cool things they want, but if you can't market it, you are mostly shit out of luck.

They will do a genocide but they’re pro-life

Your profile’s README invites the world to know you and your work, so it’s important that everyone can read and understand it. In this post, we share some tips for making your README more accessible.

I've finally got around to updating https://auth.hawx.me/ to use the prefixed api key format for tokens, which means I have removed all previous data. On the plus side the database no longer contains …

I have successfully associated burgers with fucking them to someone close to me

Doing some blog cleanup and pondering how most SSGs are built around an assumption that you'll get bored of your blog around 20-30 posts. Or maybe not so much the SSGs as the common blog templates. We're not even talking build speed here. More like information architecture changes needed when you go from "I should start a blog" to a multi-decade waltz of shamelessness with hundreds or thousands of posts. "Page 4 of 78" doesn't quite do it.

the year is 2056. the Toy Story movies continue to be made only so Debian has something to name releases after

I feel a little guilty archiving an open source project I created almost a decade ago. But the truth is I haven't used it myself in a long time, and it's just being honest with users asking for support. #OpenSource #OSS #OpenSourceMaintainer

Two year mark at AWS today. Been a wild and mostly fun ride.

URL Patterns is now a proper standard: https://blog.whatwg.org/2023/10. It's maintained by the WHATWG: https://urlpattern.spec.whatwg.org/. For example, the pathname pattern `/blog/:title` will match `/blog/hello-world` but not `/blog/2012/02`. If you've worked with HTTP frameworks like Express.js in Node.js, this will look very familiar.

"You can’t be autistic - you can make eye contact!” Being autistic doesn’t mean I can’t *make* eye contact, rather that eye contact can be painful and overstimulating for me. Yet, I make it because I have to. If I didn’t, many would be hurt/angry, and I’d face further ostracism. Thanks for your pointless comment anyway from someone that clearly doesn't know what you're talking about. @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe #actuallyautistic

I feel like one of my bougiest traits is that I learnt to use an espresso machine by working at a tech company and not from working in hospitality

For the last six months or so I've been obsessed with POSSE, a decade-old idea about how to mix the best of blogging and social media. For a story and for The Vergecast, I tried to figure out how POSSE could work — and why it might not https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/23/23928550/posse-posting-activitypub-standard-twitter-tumblr-mastodon

The reason I think we should stop DST is because I don't think it's right to give the govt an interest free loan on our daylight

I'm a long-time Linux user, and I've started using Windows 11 for work and… It's basically fine? There are no adverts in it that I can see. Multi-monitor support works. Lots of the deeper settings still retain their Win98 look & feel. Window snapping isn't quite as advanced as Wayland, but quite acceptable. About the worst thing I can say is that it moans my 40W USB-C charger isn't powerful enough. But it charges well enough. Doesn't seem remarkably different from XP TBH.

It's like twice a year I stop to really reassess what and why I'm working on my side projects that I'd hope help push the envelope on how to engage people on the Internet. My fear of making something that exacerbates harm is why I only talk about it - and that's been set in place after working at Lyft (seriously, I don't understand how people work at companies that have way too much information on people and not freak out!)
