Unfortunately I think racists and xenophobes too

Am I the only person that thanks GPTs when I think they've done a really good job? Yes? ok… carry on.

AI companies' logos are constantly mediocre. What's with that?

I do believe that virtue signalling is a thing. But sometimes it's actually called 'boycotting'

A case for cloud infra (and against rolling your own) is that yes, AI has lowered the bar for creating software, but also hacking software. It's easier than ever for less technical folk to get paid services for free

Oh and I know this is preaching to the choir. Grab ur tiny violins 😆

Something that kills me about being in a technical role but not needing to code day-to-day is that on the occasions I need to re-spin up an environment – it's guaranteed that a million dependancies have changed & I'd have been better off just killing the old environment and starting fresh each time

Recruit yes, but I think even more importantly, we all need to be posting (good content) on bsky more so that there is the content to attract people in the first place. People don't stick around in a desert

This is outrageously cool, but also, being a childhood fan of Crichton's 'Sphere' …I can't help but imagine it being attacked by a giant squid 😆 www.deep.com

The difference between challenges you have the power to take on and challenges you have no power over is the difference between loving and hating your job

Miami suggestions for a long weekend with a 10yr & 12yr old? Things we like: - Hipster neighbourhoods with coffee shops & boutiques you can walk around - Wildlife experiences (Gators? Manatees?) - Vegetarian food

When interviewing, assessing your future boss/peers is almost as hard hiring people yourself. Plenty of times I’ve been interviewed and thought the interviewer was useless but they turned out to be amazing. Or, I thought they were great but then discover it was all veneer

TIL that mosquitos don't just carry the 'big name' illnesses that you've probably heard of, but also a range of less-known ones that can be asymptomatic or very mild. Live in a mosquito-y place? That last cold you had might not have been a cold 🙃

I’d personally give an AI full access to my shit if I could just say: ‘Make sure I get this type of notification on this device when this happens’ …without dealing with endless conflicting app or system settings 😩

Ok, Cursor are in direct competition with GitHub, but this lowercase 'h' is the real deep cut

Don't let my @workbrew.bsky.social colleagues fool you with their cutie patootie, all-smiles team photo. Deep in their brains they are hard at work thinking about how to bring the best `brew` DX to developers – all while helping companies to stay secure and compliant 🥹 techcrunch.com/2024/11/19/w...

No, really. 'Cronyism' has more bite than 'nepotism' so let's use it. Just like 'nepotism' sounds harsher than 'referral' (as it should)

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

Petition to have people start using the word 'cronyism': - 'Nepotism' usually means family but can include friends if there is a familial connection - 'Cronyism' means friends or someone in your social circle

What’s your one tweet that never got the recognition it deserved? Might as well repost it here

010

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

I am slightly concerned that if I were to mute all the posts on here that mention the platform itself that there would be very little content 🙃 (and yes I'm aware that I'm being hypocritical/meta)

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

I’d prefer this comment by email

I mean, there isn’t a *polite* way, but there is _a_ way 😂

Of course you did Ben! 👏❤️

The text fragments API isn't used (in URLs) nearly enough: `#:~:text=scoll%20to%20specific%20text%20on%20a%20page`

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

Well done. Kinda makes my British socialist brain feel like it should stop using X once and for all (prob won't tho)

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

Agreed. Who cares if TSA think it’s a p***s pump 😂

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 12/11/2024

Before workbrew.com I was researching companies for my next gig and good lord they all need to come up with more original logos/marks. Especially the AI companies. Happy to say I love the workbrew mark.

Ok, but where is ‘surfing bluesky’? (also sounds like a Michael Bay movie)

000

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 10/11/2024

Yeah that is super weird too!

000

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 09/11/2024

TIL that tech is pretty much the only industry where ‘Staff’ is more senior than ‘Senior’. And now I think about it- the wording does make more sense for “on staff but not yet senior”. Tech is weird.

One of the best bits of advice I ever got was: If you're feeling sleepy during the day, have a coffee and then immediately take a 20min nap (no more!). It's just enough time for the caffeine to take effect and you wake up feeling amazing!

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 08/11/2024

Ever read Brave New World by Huxley? Written in 1931 but reads like it could have been written in 2024 about our current future. Amazing

110

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 07/07/2023

kinda surprised that people haven’t started referring to the pandemic as the blip

010

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 06/07/2023

Ok, so how’s this gonna work. Do I post all my inane hot takes across Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky AND Threads? Because that would be ridiculous

111

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 15/06/2023

Tech hiring is so dependant on referrals (aka: cronyism). But when you give a referral, did you actually work *directly* with this person? Because sometimes if feels like our whole industry is propped up on wafer thin relationships 😬

The most oxymoronic think about creativity is that to be good at it you need to embrace influence. To be great at it, you need to shun influence

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 12/05/2023

This platform is really trend-y. And by that I don’t mean trendy

120

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 02/05/2023

These are my overwhelming takes on bluesky vs mastodon so far: - more celebrities on bluesky - more neckbeards on mastodon - I get more likes on mastodon for the similarly inane posts - not sure how bluesky devs get any work done with the amount of posting they do

020

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 28/04/2023

All people ever want to hear about is Tech. No matter how much they protest otherwise…

000

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 28/04/2023

Considered branding myself as a music-opinions-only poster on bluesky, but realised it would weaken my brand even further

000

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 27/04/2023

I think the thing I’m enjoying most about this platform right now is seeing posts from people I consider “popular” and noticing that they only have zero or a few likes

000

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 27/04/2023

I think the next feature bluesky should build is Vine

How you gonna flex into your birthright as an authoritarian without a name like that

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 27/04/2023

I’ve got 6 whole meetings today. Which is the most I’ve had in one day since starting my new (very async) job 6months ago. Usually it’s ~3 a week. And today is just cos I’m interviewing candidates. God, I love async.

010

Luke Hefson @lukehefson.bsky.social · 26/04/2023

Honestly, my heart dropped when a came across a few companies/brands with accounts on here? How cool would it be if a social media app had *only people* on it??
