I went to Canada to photograph orcas, and all I got was a dick pic

A male orca breaching water with his belly up. His reproductive organ clearly visible.

I've been screening candidates for a couple of open positions we have at Tensorlake and I'm amaze at the number of fake resumes we receive. I've jumped in several screen calls where candidates just drop off the call when I asked them for proof of identification 🤷‍♂️

the reason we have this platform at all, or smartphones or modern CPUs or half the things you rely on online is because of trans people and we need to work harder at protecting and uplifting them and not supporting transphobe platforms, people and politicians

Fuck Harry Potter just read discworld. It's a fantastical world of magical creatures and adventure but the author has class consciousness and knows how to write comedy that isn't just making fun of how fat a character is

I completely forgot that we hired @rafa.design at Netlify after he slid into my twitter dms almost a decade ago now. ”Maybe I can help” is probably the understatement of the decade.

This is good read about the state of open source and AI. Unfortunately, I'm skeptic about GitHub doing something to make things better. So far, their latest changes in PRs, splitting large PRs in one page per file(WTF), make reviewing code generated by AI worse, no better 🤷‍♂️

When I maintained the Rust runtime for AWS Lambda, trying to cross-compile OpenSSL because it's the default tls backend in reqwest was the top issue for people starting with the runtime. I'm very happy that I was able to provide a little bit of help to remove that category of problems all together.
