I woke up this morning, took a pill, and proceeded to have one of the most productive writing days I've had in perhaps years. The day prior, a doctor diagnosed me with Adult ADHD. I finally drew the unfortunate trauma diagram that's been in my head for years now. In a pretty short timefra

Yeah. That.
Me: so it seems I'm probably #ADHD Friend: yeah, we know Me: what? Why didn't you tell me? Friend: we assumed you already knew!

Learn how to use OpenTelemetry to instrument your Go applications for distributed tracing
I wish when I became an adult the other adults in my life would have explained that you don't actually feel like a grown up, you just sort of feel like a kid pretending to be an adult, and hoping everything works out.
Hiding your face isn’t having privacy. Living in a society where you don’t have to hide your face is having privacy.

Usually "unlimited holiday" is a red flag This year I'll have taken a total of 41 days of holiday (including the legally required minimum of 28 days here in the UK) It's nice to be able to actually use extra without being made to feel guilty or have it dangled like a carrot but never given

TypeScript ESLint enables ESLint and Prettier to run on TypeScript code. Josh Goldberg is a host for Software Engineering Daily, the author of Learning TypeScript by O’Reilly, and a Microsoft MVP.
With the number of libraries available to Go developers these days, you'd think building a CLI app was now a trivial matter. But like many things in software development, it depends. In this episode, we explore the challenges that arose during one team's journey towards a production-ready CLI.

My fellow human beings. Before joining Bluesky. You should read about Cory Doctorow's description of the Enshittification process. The first part of the process is vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, even if it results in a loss of money. The idea is to get market share. I fear that mankind is trapped in an endless cycle with social media.

I know what to do with all this anger. If I couldn't turn anger into action, I'd be in a different line of work. But I don't know what to do with all this grief for the things that I wanted to do and to build in the next few years that will never happen now.

My middle name is Monica, I’m named after an Argentinian sex worker who helped my father escape when it became known the police were looking for him. He was studying medicine and was secretly an errand boy for an underground newspaper. By the time it was clear he had to leave, he had no options left. I don’t know anything about her except that I wouldn’t be here if she hadn’t helped him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_War https://social.vivaldi.net/@Patricia/113462674712847803
oh, I see, so it’s fine when SummoningSalt posts a video about a hotly-contested game speedrun, but when *I’m* the one getting beaten repeatedly for fun suddenly that’s “violating YouTube’s community guidelines”?
