This "tweet" from a year ago has been deleted by its author. I'm posting here now on BlueSky as a reminder and as a public service, for anyone, should they ever need it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Too many people still confuse Software Engineering with writing code. Code is the artifact. Software Engineering is understanding the problem, making tradeoffs, designing the system, reducing complexity, and deciding what shouldn't be built. No amount of 'vibe coding' can help you with this.

All too often, the word "leader" is used to describe a mere manager. That's not a leader in any real sense. You cannot be anointed as a "leader" by upper management. Leadership cannot be imposed. 1/5

For those who are all of a sudden shocked at Trump’s corruption this week, please stop. Corruption has infused this administration its entire time. There has been purchase pardons, payoffs by foreign governments, shady crypto deals, insider trading on markets, etc.

Easily the best way to get screwed by Donald Trump's America is to be a democratic and free state which just wants to live peacefully within its own borders.

Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives. The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October — while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Trickle-down economics is a hoax.

Mt. Hood - Early Morning Mist My Collection - fineartamerica.com/profiles/5-k... Photography is not about capturing everything, it is about remembering what matters. #photography #nature #landscape #sunrise #wallart #digitalArt #photoArt #DigitalDarkroom #NationalPark #NIKON #D780
A stunning, atmospheric landscape photograph featuring Mount Hood in Oregon, captured during the early morning with a heavy layer of mist.

The dominant subject is the majestic, snow-capped stratovolcano, Mount Hood. Its peak rises sharply against a clear, deep blue sky. The upper slopes are covered in patches of white snow, while the lower flanks show exposed rocky ridges and forested areas in shades of brown and green.

- **Foreground Lake**: A calm Trillium Lake fills the bottom portion of the frame. The water's surface is mirror-like, reflecting the mountain and the mist above it. A thick, ethereal blanket of white mist hovers just above the water and drifts through the dense forest at the base of the mountain. This creates a dreamy, almost mystical atmosphere, partially obscuring the trees and adding depth and softness to the scene. A thick coniferous forest (mostly evergreen trees like fir and pine) lines the shore and covers the lower slopes of the mountain. The mist weaves between the trees, making the forest appear layered and mysterious. In the middle of the lake, slightly to the right of center, there's a small white boat with two people in it. One appears to be fishing or holding a rod. The boat is tiny in comparison to the massive mountain, emphasizing the scale and serenity of the scene. The lighting is soft and golden, typical of early morning sunrise. Warm light catches the right side of the mountain and filters through the mist, creating a gentle glow and long shadows.

The image evokes a profound sense of peace, solitude, and natural beauty. The combination of the towering mountain, the still reflective water, the drifting mist, and the tiny human element in the boat creates a perfect balance between grandeur and intimacy. It feels like a moment of quiet contemplation in one of Oregon's most iconic natural settings.

Looking at the evidence like firing counter terrorist specialist at the FBI I came to the same conclusion. The paedo in chief wants to escalate at all costs hoping there will be a violent event (protests, insurrection or terror attack) giving him an excuse to declare martial law.
