If you know a woman, including one in tech, she's a *survivor* of all kinds of unpardonable acts of aggression from a sexist society. Be a pal and fend it off with us. We're TIRED. It's not the little latest thing... it's the decades of it.

The worst crime the open source community ever committed was making two tools, one called 'useradd' and the other called 'adduser' and making them do almost the same thing.

Me in 2019: “I’m not spending £20k on solar panels, it’ll take 24 years for them to pay for themselves!” 2023: “Bugger, those £20k solar panels would have paid for themselves in 24 months…” 2025: “Bugger, those £20k solar panels would have paid for themselves in 24 days…”

I just realized that the: "I had $10 in my bank account and crypto made me rich!" CNBC article And the "Our account had less than $1, and now we're rich!" CNBC article And the "Crypto will make you more attractive on dating sites!" CNBC article Are all by the same journalist.

Friendly reminder that the ability to memorize something only acts as proof of intelligence in school.

It’s still employee musical chairs in tech and this is your periodic reminder to never ever accept the argument “well stock is part of your pay. Use that to meet what needs the salary can’t cover”. That’s the company screwing you.

I think the best thing that happened so far today is when I was on a call to @laushinka and I started whispering a secret so that my partner wouldn't hear it in the other room... then her leaning into the camera to hear me better. I'm genuinely still laughing. 🤣

Fun game: ask an ape holder the name of the artist(s) who drew their "art". Hint: not only do they not know, they never knew.

And for those who claim to care about “supporting artists”, ask how much of what they paid went to the artist(s) who drew it. Hint: probably nothing.

NFTs aren't art; they are game tokens in a game where you pretend to be an art speculator. twitter.com/malwaretechblo…

I’d be like 50% more open to the idea of NFTs if all the popular ones weren’t ugly. It’s basically the digital equivalent of the tasteless billionaire home decor.

It has been one year since I accepted therapy and antidepressants. I should have done it much earlier, it would have improved my quality of life and allowed to start fixing root causes earlier. If you see signs of run out and depression, go to the specialist immediately 🙏
