Nice post from my boss about why we're giving Basecamp the heave-ho: https://blogs.library.duke.edu/blog/2023/11/30/why-were-dropping-basecamp/.

All set up for Advent of Code tomorrow! https://github.com/mrwilson/advent-of-code-2023 I'll be doing it using jq, but this time I've written a little test framework in rust on top of libjq (called jqunit, obviously) to make it easier to stage out the functionality in later, trickier puzzles. I'll be tooting my progress on here, and posting my solutions each day. #AdventOfCode

I can't emphasize enough to cis people that the term "euphoria" was chosen to translate what transition feels like because there are no other words you will associate with a feeling like this — which you obviously cannot feel. But it is not a superlative. Transitioning is the greatest relief and elation I've ever experienced. There is not a word that contains all of it. I wish I'd never experienced all that torture I didn't know I was enduring, but I wouldn't change a thing. I know things now!

Is anyone up for running a tech conference with fake AI-generated men on the promotional material, but an all-female cast of actual speakers?

Amazon Q Code Transformation uses #OpenRewrite to accelerate Java upgrades for customers. At AWS, many of our services are built with #OpenSource components and promoting the long-term sustainability of these communities is critical to us and our customers. That is why it’s important for us to contribute back to communities like OpenRewrite, helping ensure everyone can continue to benefit from their innovations. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/upgrade-your-java-applications-with-amazon-q-code-transformation-preview/ #reinvent #reinvent2023 #FreeSoftware #FOSS #OSS

How is “confirming my address” to a receptionist enough verification for all medical professionals to be like “yes this information is secure”

I’m very sad to announce that my professional AWS qualification, that I have never once used, has expired.

Viral allegations that Devternity founder Eduard Sizovs fabricated female speakers to boost diversity have caused several big-name speakers to publicly drop out of the conference.

I don’t know why I act surprised when someone posts a toot with “content warning: my genitals” and a NSFW filter and I click it and see the aforementioned genitals Multiple times a week

I didn't eat anything that could be called a meal today, which I thought was a mistake until just a few minutes ago when I tried eating a meal. Clearly my body is mad at me about something.

Upgraded a library and the new major version removed support for something I was using. However, instead of complaining to the maintainer, I copied the code into my repository, reformatted the code and went along my merry way. Thank goodness for freely licensed source.

Cheeky referral link, but a good one: if you're doing your UK tax return (ew) then I recommend Tax Scouts as an affordable accountancy service. I nearly overpaid by £2k this year because I didn't know wtf I was doing. And here's 10% off: https://taxscouts.com/i/SOPHIE395
