No, recruiters. I do not want to be part of a "challenging" team. I'm in my mid-50s. I want to be part of a "mature" team, a "powerful" team with a large and well-managed "throughput", a "structured" team that knows how to use processes to quickly and accurately handle the Same Stuff Happens Every Week so that when someone else comes screaming in with their ass on fire babbling about something someone else broke and We Need To Document This Thing NOW NOW NOW, one or two of us can calmly turn from our current tasks, neatly and quickly handle La Emergencia, and calm the panicked person's heartrate without raising our own. I'm old. Fuck "ambition". I just want a good paycheck and no dumbass "this REALLY could have been avoided" hasslepanic.

I have....15 talk invites to triage right now 😳 This is an object lesson in the need to create process before demand, which I deeply believe in and fully did NOT DO FOR MYSELF

How the fuck do you apply terms of service to a service that allows people on other servers to read the data without agreeing to the ToS

I am once again encouraging people to reject the idea that terms of service should have any legal significance whatsoever

As they say, time flies when you’re having fun. I can proudly say that I’ve had a lot of fun since I published my career pivot to community-building blog post in July 2021. 📸 From Berli…

Are you a woman? Do you feel that you’re missing out on men explaining things to you in a way that is simultaneously patronising AND incorrect? Yes, you are? Wonderful! Then simply post about #infosec, #hardware, or #programming and you’ll find what you’re missing in your life, you silly little female. ❤️❤️❤️

"AI Engineer", uh huh, let's be honest, it's more like "AI Whisperer” — you've absolutely no guarantees that the thing is gonna do what you actually want it to. #ai

Of course I immediately closed out my connection because I'm a good person. Oh, but it's the weekend and Evil Sheldon is in control so I kept the party going for a while since Twitter insisted on it. #TwitterDown #Twitter #MastodonMigration #DDOS #TwitterFail #SelfDDOS

I spent part of my evening working on my website's "speaking" page. I reviewed the archive and found nice things people said about those talks and photos, and it made me quite teary. I was so harsh on myself then, but now I look back to the person I was in 2018 and 2019... I was just a baby. How hopeful I was in those talks. Oh my...

The fundamental problem with how Spez & Elon Musk are running Reddit and Twitter is that they assume people have no choice but to keep posting and reading their sites. This is such a stark contrast from Meta which is eternally paranoid about users growing tired and leaving its apps.

I’ll be honest, my faith in MDN and Mozilla was already on the floor. Think this might be the final nail in the coffin for me https://github.com/mdn/yari/issues/9208

The one evening I have the energy to do programming stuff outside of work, is OBVIOUSLY the same evening that GitHub decides to throw a huge wobbly. On the bright side, my blog is now deployed from GitHub Actions rather than manually synced to AWS S3, so maybe I'll be more motivated to write again!

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me I want to create a page similar to yours! Also in the past I shared your salary page with other people - thank you for doing that!
