The irony of all the Americans on Red Note is that it's the best propaganda for the Chinese government inside China. When you live in an oppressive regime, but you can afford groceries and rent and not worry you might die because you can't afford it - the other oppressive regime looks less appealing.

I tripped over my gf bra this morning. A Boobie trap if you will.

If your phone support lines are forever "receiving higher than normal demand" then your definition of "normal" needs updating, as does your support headcount

It used to be that I’d see LinkedIn notifications celebrating people being at the same big tech for 5, 10 or 15 years and roll my eyes. Why celebrate someone staying in their comfort zone and getting paid well? Now I think “Congrats on surviving so many rounds of layoffs” 🫡

Well I’ve now had to post on Bluesky to ask someone if they know their software is broken, because that’s where they are. Complaining At Brands is exactly how Twitter got me so I guess I’ve put myself on the slippery slope now

How can rich text or HTML source code be obtained from the X clipboard? For example, if you copy some text from a web browser and paste it into kompozer, it pastes as HTML, with links etc. preserv...

this year (next month!) is 10 years since I left the abusive household I grew up in and stopped talking to my family very thankful for my chosen family, many of whom are here. I wouldn’t be alive right now without you.

@thcrt@fops.cloud You hire an army of senior developers to audit the AI results *or* you don't do AI. One of those is more expensive, the other is what you did before AI. It should be very clear that there's no "keep the AI but make it cheap and effective" path available.

An existential moment for Duck Alignment Academy. I've mostly tried to keep the content evergreen. I have proto-thoughts on the Mastodon announcement, but I'm not sure if DAA is the right venue or if I should put it in the DAA newsletter or on my personal blog (or as a thread on Mastodon for maximum obnoxiousness)

paul graham has finally achieved what most thought impossible: he's written a post so bad that the hacker news comments are actually better than it

Get a job at GitHub and make it happen.

You mean the same dipshit billionaire who was wrong about knowing how to rescue kids trapped in a cave *also* doesn't know shit about fighting fires? Elon Musk is not really a smart person, but the people that think he's smart are among the stupidest people the world has ever known.

I'm sorry and I know this is so incredibly petty, but I find it really hard to take a person's salty rant about open source seriously once I notice they hyphenate open source

Having a lazy morning in bed with two cats and Kim and I can’t adequately express how content I am. Traveling to NYC the next 2 weeks, and I’m already looking forward to coming home to more of this.

I never would have picked LinkedIn to be the last social network standing

i’ve often had men and women who had more power than me in a situation come up to me after i said the shit that had to be said and thank me and i hope you know i hold you in all in deep contempt [contains quote post or other embedded content]

One thing I am sick to death of is guys telling me on private backchannels that it's really cool how I speak up, because they "could never do that".

Stop Trying To Schedule A Call With Me - The harassment by SaaS

Made this to visualise what I did in 2024 through annual activity heatmaps. - Aebel-Shajan/year-in-data

Joined tech 5 years ago and it’s disappointing to see where the industry is going year after year. Same can be said about society in general but it’s kind of astonishing to compare 2019 tech culture with now.

i was thinking about how i'd like to set some intentions for the new year but have been blocked. i have more time on my hands than ever in my life, so i'm currently working on navigating that without the paralysis that comes from having so many options and ideas, and adhd - a damn hottie disorder. then i realized tonight, while scouring the live laugh blog archive, that i wrote one of these posts when 2024 started, so let's start there.

After a few minutes of wondering what I’m looking at, the answer turns out to be: Saturn

As the year wrapped up, I spent some time reflecting on my transition from a CyberSecurity engineer to Principal engineer which inspired me to write a blog about the steep learning curve of writing quality coding and—how I used #rust to reinforce my skills.

Redis' creator on why blogging is fundamental for successful projects, his writing process, and AI in writing

New job at a company where I'm customer-facing (professional services). I still don't know how much I want to cross my personal brand with the company brand, but either way I gotta start blogging and doing conference talks or I'm never going to meet my quarterly objectives. I wonder if there's a sweet spot where you can leverage the company reputation to build your personal brand as much as you're helping to build the company brand. Perhaps @shanselman may have advice here? #NewJob #EnterpriseLife

You shouldn't expect your job to be interesting or intellectually stimulating. Those are needs you fulfill in your free time, for example while you're driving to or from work
