We get robins on our bird feeders all the time but I finally caught one on camera in the snow 😄☃️
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.

Liberals: We love LGBTQ+ folks. Their bosses: New policy: fuck LGBTQ+ folks. Liberals: Well, that’s ok too, we guess.

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]

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

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 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

Rachel Plotnick joins us for the first show of 2025 to discuss her book "Power Button" and the research she did, and why we love/hate buttons so much. We also discuss her upcoming book "License to Spill" as well as the research she's doing on energy drinks.

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

Pardon the cross post, but this is evergreen. Going through your partner’s phone, email, etc is abuse. I don’t care how you rationalize it, there’s is never any reason to do it. If you don’t trust your partner, end the relationship, but don’t become an abuser to satisfy your curiosity.
