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. Check it out and let me know what you think! https://tilde.club/~chimbo/blog/posts/rust-learnings-and-journey.html #RustLang, #Rust, #SoftwareEngineering, #CodingJourney, #CareerChange, #CyberSecurity, #OpenSource, #TechBlog, #blog

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

My favorite feedback I’ve every received in my life was when @krisnova.net was on a stage talking about the book we wrote together and she said how good of a dad I am to my kids ❤️ [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Folks, do you think if Threads/Meta/Mark Zuckerberg were really that bad, John Mastodon himself would partner with them? Do you think they’d even be allowed in the Social Web Foundation? No, surely you’re mistaken. Otherwise, what does that say about John Mastodon and the Social Web Foundation? https://socialwebfoundation.org #SocialWebFoundation #Threads #Meta #Mastodon #partners #JohnMastodon #MarkZuckerberg

Pardon the cross post, but this is evergreen. Going through your partner’s phone, email, etc is abuse. I don’t care how you rationalize it, there’s is never any reason to do it. If you don’t trust your partner, end the relationship, but don’t become an abuser to satisfy your curiosity.

Okay fuck it. I need to share these tonight. This was so much fun. 1st time tying someone else. Rigger: me Model: @emmie.bsky.social Photos: one by her and one by me.

My new vacuum cleaner changes colour depending on how dirty my floor is. Someone somewhere thought the most valuable use of technology was to be judgemental about how often I clean my house. Some real @internetofshit@mastodon.social stuff.

In 2025, we’re building a small #Maven-based tool to help #Java devs write more secure software. No big funding—just two folks in the trenches trying to get it right. Let’s talk if your company’s digging into SBOM or #OpenSource #security. We’re happy to share insights or lend a hand!

This holiday period has been great for three things: - Got plenty of rest - Radicalised against the neo-liberal oppressors and their ideology of capitalism which is a cancer destroying the planet and our civilization - Got some new socks

Attached: 1 image Spent the last Saturday of my vacation fixing the build time on my site. It was originally at 19m 😱 but now it's down to 1m10s via the judicious use of caching. 💥 All running on my own Gitea infra on my apartment's server. The vast majority of the uncached build time was due to producing the social media cards for each page, and scrubbing exif data from files. #SelfHosted

Happy anniversary to the time I was Ian Coldwater, ultimately resulting in half of Tech Twitter being me being Ian and one mixup on Wikipedia

People still pretend to mix us up in person, which is fun because IRL I'm nearly a foot taller
