Attached: 1 image So apparently dang and the HN crowd are so upset I wrote some messages for HN visitors to our website, that they now banned my home IP address 🙃 Yes, seriously. I get 403s from any device on my home connection, and yet it works fine on 4G. Just when you thought they couldn't get pettier. And no, I haven't been doing any scraping/scripting/anything sus.

one big thing I learned about myself this year: if you acknowledge my work publicly (just anywhere outside of private conversation), I’ll forever be loyal to you. I do so much invisible/glue work that I am weak for this stuff.

Many in tech seem to think that if you disagree with something in tech, you must think that it’s illegal or should be illegal. I think LLMs and diffusion models are unfair and that making or using one is a dick move, but are they illegal copyright violations of the training data? I have no idea, but the repercussions if they aren’t legal would be much wider ranging than most realise.

I'm officially looking for new work! Contracts are great as they'd allow me to be a bit more flexible; but full time work is most ideal. Remote (US). My resume lives on my site at https://jacky.wtf/work. I'm open to Ruby, Rust and JavaScript roles currently. (https://jacky.wtf/2023/10/Mh0p)

I've used this for a couple of things and from what I remember it gives you a little bit more safety around what you're building compared to text/template. I've considered seeing what oapi-codegen, a Go OpenAPI code generator would look like with it, but not gotten around to it. It's a bit more overheard than plain templating for sure, and I personally feel like it can read a little easier for more complex generation, but that's probably not the case for most code generation tools

Anyone else see "AI" and just switch off? If I'm looking for some new software or a SaaS, or I open an article and it mentions AI, I immediately go back or close the tab. I'm just so fed up of it appearing in *everything*. I get it has a use (I wouldn't even say it's a purpose) but it seems some products have gone hard on it and I'm just bored of hearing about it now.

Does anyone have any resources for managing neurodiverse people at work? I have an autistic+ADHD pal who needs support and adjustments made in how they work (e.g. better ways of tracking hours, trouble with being interrupted during a task, looming existential dread at unplanned meetings and most of all difficulty articulating needs) and it would be great to send them something they can show their manager.
Train OH: (from a stereotypical looking "lad" to some very "lad"ish friends) "and yeah so Brighton is great cos you've got like everyone coexisting, like you're out on the town right and there's everyone out, trans people, everyone, and it's like no big deal" (to which another "lad" replied) "yeah man like it should be, it's chill" Tiny bit of faith restored in UK society

In conversation w a friend, she was surprised when I said we won't have electricity after social collapse. She asked "why? What happens to electricity?" I had to then explain that infrastructure needs people to maintain and if things fall apart, nobody will keep the generators going or the wires in check. She seemed surprised by this. Is this why people don't seem worried about what's coming? They have no idea??? I was trying to hide my shock that I had to explain this to someone who isn't a child. I think I take too much for granted and assume too much of people's ability to be logical. Now her obsession with social issues at the expense of #ClimateCrisis makes sense. I was always wondering how someone on the left would not care about collapse. I have tried to explain before that as much as I share her concerns about the many dire issues that do need dealing with, none of it matters if climate change causes collapse. Then we won't have social housing, or equity, or any of the other things she cares about. (she was even part of a group that protested demanding "affordable gas") Her look of shock finally helped me realize that she has absolutely no idea what #ClimateCollapse means. No idea. I've been arguing with her all these years and she's had no idea. I don't even know what to say. There's no way she's the only one. Lots of well intentioned people say "yes climate is important but....". I am here to tell you that none of those other issues will even exist in the face of climate and social collapse. I don't know if the average person can even image the number of deaths that we are facing when the society we built loses electricity.

The longer I spend in the software industry the more I think that the primacy of "don't repeat yourself," in all its many forms and scales, is a tragic flaw. I think it is far, far harder than most anyone would like to admit, to write something that is usefully and sustainably reusable over any but the shortest distances in space and time.

I'm out now. No more hiding. I get to grow breasts and wear dresses and cute shoes! Oh, that shower scene from childhood actually happened? Shit. Oh, "Running Pussy" was a high school nickname that really fucked me up? Shit. Oh, I can't actuall buy cute shoes because I'm a monster. Shit. Oh, people literally want me dead. Shit. Oh, some of those people are related to me and say they love me while *still* wanting me dead. Shit. Oh, I have no idea what my sexuality is and if I try to figure it out I'm a freak. Shit. Oh, this idea pretty much destroyed my life. Shit. Oh, I'm supposed to be so much happier now? Well shit.
