Sufficiently burned by bad interview experiences this year that my brain refuses to get excited about a potential interview. "Let's wait to see if they want a code test, or maybe never call back, or whatever." But still. Getting a call is better than not getting a call.

The power of seeing just one or two other people wearing a mask while I am wearing a mask in a big public space is something I think we don't talk about enough. Maybe we can't fix each other's risk overall but you decrease my isolation and the potential negative attention of other people on me and as a covid disabled person in this terrible world, that really matters

The reason we're still talking about 9/11 and ignoring COVID is because 9/11 served as a pretext and COVID was seen as an inconvenience by the ruling elite. And even they seem bored with it, to be honest.

I've been asked to comment on what I think the biggest tech trend in 2024 will be? Short answer: Slavery and let me tell you why. Data is the lifeblood that allows any machine learning model to perform its task. Itās not magic. Itās not the so-called āAIā being intelligent or intuitive. Itās statistics. And as the tech sector delves into rapid developments of specialised LLMs that they can further commoditise, they will require vast amounts of diverse data to traināleading to what some have called as data hunting. And unfortunately, all of us who have posted even a single piece of content online are all part of thisāwhether we like it or not. We are now part of a universal digital sweatshop that transcends international borders. Our labour is ignored and uncompensated based on the capitalist belief that since we shared content freely, companies have the right to monetise it whenever they want. Time and time again, as we have seen in recent news, companies have collected our data without explicit consent. And when they do ask for āconsentā, they give us word salad in the user agreements or just ask us to opt our way out of the inferno that they manufactured. The aggressive collection of data paves the way for a future where a few corporations will have disproportionate control over vast datasets, which they can exploit for unwarranted targeted advertising, surveillance and practices that would reinforce biases or unfairly influence individual choices and behaviours. And letās not forget the second step in the process where people (they call as taskers), mostly from the Global South, are hired for 2 USD a day to classify images, videos and texts so that your LLMs will not spew out gibberish. This is the reality behind your glamorous āAIā models. While āAIā companies in the developed world reap huge profits, the groundwork is outsourced to workers in Bangladesh, Kenya, the Philippines and India. But it is fine, isnāt it? As long as we donāt see them. Out of sight, out of mind.

After *years* of mild bemusement about why an adult would enjoy building Lego, my wife has suddenly become obsessed with building Lego, and has decided she needs to buy āthe biggest ever Lego setā. Although she does still insist on calling it Legos because she knows how much it infuriates me.

Workers: DO NOT OVERWORK YOURSELF to avoid getting laid off. - Youāre damaging your life and health. - Your employer doesnāt actually notice (no, really, they donāt.) - Your behavior enables future mismanagement of resources. - When layoffs come, youāre gonna get laid off anyway. Remember that a companyās job is to extract maximum work from you for minimum pay, so your job is to extract maximum pay for minimum work. Somewhere in the middle, both parties find an equilibrium that they agree on. Do not voluntarily modify your side of the bargain to your detriment. #FridayDevAdvice
