As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

my wife gets Facebook ads about random obscure stuff we talk about, even if we’ve never talked about it before, and I don’t. The difference? She has Facebook and messenger installed on her phone and I do not… 🤔🕵️‍♂️

One of the reasons I left a job was because they decided I was paid too much based on where I lived (part of their DEI) and told me I'd never get a raise because of it. I had even took a huge cut to my usual salary to work there originally, because I liked the company.

When writing about Property-Based testing, I found they were much more solid and comprehensive than usual tests, due to their more general (properties vs examples). They weren’t used because they felt more complex and time-intensive to write, despite being shorter and having to change them less.

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

I'm going to start streaming again in spring/summer when my home office addition is done (it's been over a year now). We should do at least one stream where you walk me through how to build with Ash ;)

don't waste your time, there is some somewhat good advice sprinkled in the mostly shit advice that sounds like it *could* be good advice if you didn't know better. I fell for it early in my career when I read Clean Code

we used to ride around the neighbourhood without holding the handlebars, standing up sitting down, etc. it's not difficult once you get used to it... until you need to go uphill 🥲
