2022 to 2025 or: how i learned to let the ‘mones do their work and love myself

Happy 19th Anniversary pretty girl @kimmy.zip

The more I work on API standards, the more I realise how few teams understand that they can adopt the standards and, without breaking any contract, adapt them to make a strong interface for their own application. One of my favourite examples is to add enums where a standard interface cannot dictate

All LGBT content on reddit being tagged as adult is bad if a kid is queer though 😔

fun news! I was laid off from Twilio. going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week. if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along! reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

I made this in 2021

I've been working on a Ruby library for Package URLs (PURL) - the standard way to identify software packages across different ecosystems, you see these in SBOMs a lot: pkg:gem/rails@7.0.0 or pkg:npm/@babel/core. Originally built this for @ecosystems but figured it might be useful for others too. https://github.com/andrew/purl https://rubygems.org/gems/purl

good morning to everyone still masking in public to prevent covid infections y'all are the real ones ❤️ everyone else can fix their damn hearts

Thanks everyone for the kind words words when I was laid off from GitHub in May. I promptly shut my computer and took a few lovely months of vacation ☺️ Now I’m back and starting interviewing! So if you’re looking for an expert in building community-first programs, now’s the time to let me know ☎️ [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Hey look at that. I complain about something and it gets fixed. 😀 The latest release of oapi-codegen announced a new feature for dealing with optional pointers. #OpenAPI #golang https://github.com/oapi-codegen/oapi-codegen/releases/tag/v2.5.0

Unpopular opinion. A well-written issue is generally more valuable than a pull request.

This is certainly the tism talking but I find so much joy in curiosity and the process of learning that the idea of wanting to outsource thinking to a machine is unfathomable to me That’s the fun part! Why wouldn’t you want to do that?

I've been telling people that deleting prod is the way to go if you want accurate documentation and a reliable system (i.e, no system, no docs). Good to see AI getting on my level!

Similarly, I’ll sooner go back to being a cashier then write code for war related tech

I dunno, man, I know exactly which picture was being circulated by women in 2021 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

“You’re pan, poly, and nonbinary. It’s the trifecta of refusing to choose” @abgushte.bsky.social to me, when selecting multiple snacks

The public reaction to a billionaire being liquified in a submarine implosion or a CEO getting murked in broad daylight should have been a good indicator that we’re not gonna give a fuck about a rich CEO getting caught cheating at a Coldplay concert.

Unlike CEOs and other executives, individual contributors understand concert OPSEC

This is fascinating: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/s/I7Qbvo3I95 Someone “worked on a book with ChatGPT” for weeks and then sought help on Reddit when they couldn’t download the file. Redditors helped them realized ChatGPT had just been roleplaying/lying and there was no file/book…

"Nest egg" is a turn of phrase and don't tell me that's not a secret inside joke. 🪹🪺🥚🏳️‍⚧️

Sorry Ms. Jackson

One of the companies vaguely said "I have some good news to share with you" after final rounds aaaaaaaaa yall <33333 Now, I have 3 other companies who haven't let me know yet. But anyhow!

This sort of thing is important. Not in a “lol they deserve what they get” way, but in a “these are the sorts of challenges we as a society face” way [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Back that shit up with evidence. I was once asked, “What can I say to make you stay?” I listed the new job vs my old one then said, “But… if you thought I was worth it, I would already be getting that.”

Bootstrapping a side project into a profitable seven-figure business in four years.

A cool thing about being fucking terrible with names is that you're not going to accidentally deadname your friends (we've known each other for years and I straight up don't remember what your parents named you)

We outsourced to the cloud for feature velocity. We outsourced to SaaS for feature velocity. We outsourced to AI for feature velocity. All this focus on feature velocity and your product still sucks. Now you also have a less experienced staff. Why is that?

What’s the name of the emotion where you feel a sort of existential dread and general malaise because why aspire when the world is on fire, your efforts go unacknowledged, you don’t feel like you belong, nothing you’ve done seems to have the impact you wanted, and so doing anything new seems futile?

For roughly six hours a day for the past three days I’ve heard a guy at the booth next to the one I’m working at shouting “HENTAI! GET YOUR HENTAI HERE! GET YOUR YAOI HERE!” with the inflection of a circus barker Here to report that this has now become a vocal stim for me lmfao

Our fandom is rarely without some kind of controversy. It’s been like this since the times of message board wars and it feels like social media has only exacerbated this tendency towards grab…

So, two years ago today, almost to the minute, I was getting checked into the hospital after a Pretty Fucking Good suicide attempt I mark that day as my Re-Birthday, the day I chose to be here. Things have certainly not been easier since that day, but they have certainly been better.

One of the worst things about jobs that require a lot of travel is trying to remember what the fuck countries you've been to in the last 5 years when it comes time to renew global entry
