Mat Ryer is back! He plays the piano, we tell each other truths/lies, we pay homage to the 8" floppy disk, Mat accepts an open source medal, and so much more. It's a real circus. MatGPT!
You mean the same dipshit billionaire who was wrong about knowing how to rescue kids trapped in a cave *also* doesn't know shit about fighting fires? Elon Musk is not really a smart person, but the people that think he's smart are among the stupidest people the world has ever known.
"Legacy code" is often code that you want to replace because you don't understand it. The problem is, before you can replace it, you need to understand it, and, once you understand it, replacing it is rarely the cheapest option any more. #SoftwareEngineering

I'm sorry and I know this is so incredibly petty, but I find it really hard to take a person's salty rant about open source seriously once I notice they hyphenate open source

Having a lazy morning in bed with two cats and Kim and I can’t adequately express how content I am. Traveling to NYC the next 2 weeks, and I’m already looking forward to coming home to more of this.
This bar just said to transition
Liberals: We love LGBTQ+ folks. Their bosses: New policy: fuck LGBTQ+ folks. Liberals: Well, that’s ok too, we guess.
I never would have picked LinkedIn to be the last social network standing
i’ve often had men and women who had more power than me in a situation come up to me after i said the shit that had to be said and thank me and i hope you know i hold you in all in deep contempt [contains quote post or other embedded content]
What the fuck is the point of holding power if you don’t use it for good? [contains quote post or other embedded content]
One thing I am sick to death of is guys telling me on private backchannels that it's really cool how I speak up, because they "could never do that".

Attached: 1 image Thinking of Aaron Swartz today & I’m stuck on this photo - he & OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (both circled) each scraped 1000s of docs but one did it to make the knowledge free for all while the other did it to make $$$$ through probabilistic plagiarism. The US DOJ only came after one of them & the other is feted by tech bros and executives. Thank you Aaron for so much, for RSS, for Markdown, for Creative Commons and more. I’m sorry our society failed you.

Stop Trying To Schedule A Call With Me - The harassment by SaaS
Made this to visualise what I did in 2024 through annual activity heatmaps. - Aebel-Shajan/year-in-data
Joined tech 5 years ago and it’s disappointing to see where the industry is going year after year. Same can be said about society in general but it’s kind of astonishing to compare 2019 tech culture with now.
I will be attending
I really need people to understand that LGBTQIA people, our servers, and the things we discuss does NOT automatically mean NSFW. Often the most blatant NSFW I've ever seen are from cishet folks. This isn't to say some LGBTQIA folks can't be NSFW (they can), but it's the labeling ALL of us as such that's hurtful, problematic, and plays right into the conservative right's playbook of labeling us as sexual deviants to be erased from society. Don't do that.

i was thinking about how i'd like to set some intentions for the new year but have been blocked. i have more time on my hands than ever in my life, so i'm currently working on navigating that without the paralysis that comes from having so many options and ideas, and adhd - a damn hottie disorder. then i realized tonight, while scouring the live laugh blog archive, that i wrote one of these posts when 2024 started, so let's start there.

As the year wrapped up, I spent some time reflecting on my transition from a CyberSecurity engineer to Principal engineer which inspired me to write a blog about the steep learning curve of writing quality coding and—how I used #rust to reinforce my skills. Check it out and let me know what you think! https://tilde.club/~chimbo/blog/posts/rust-learnings-and-journey.html #RustLang, #Rust, #SoftwareEngineering, #CodingJourney, #CareerChange, #CyberSecurity, #OpenSource, #TechBlog, #blog
I’d like to send a special “fuck you buddy” to all the boomers that told me “oh you’ll get more conservative as you get older, once you get some money” I don’t know what world those people live in, but every day since probably 1989 everything I have seen in the world has only convinced me more and more that capitalism is a disease that is destroying lives and the planet.
Redis' creator on why blogging is fundamental for successful projects, his writing process, and AI in writing

New job at a company where I'm customer-facing (professional services). I still don't know how much I want to cross my personal brand with the company brand, but either way I gotta start blogging and doing conference talks or I'm never going to meet my quarterly objectives. I wonder if there's a sweet spot where you can leverage the company reputation to build your personal brand as much as you're helping to build the company brand. Perhaps @shanselman may have advice here? #NewJob #EnterpriseLife

You shouldn't expect your job to be interesting or intellectually stimulating. Those are needs you fulfill in your free time, for example while you're driving to or from work
