This makes me so sad, because blogs and owning your own website are such critical, fundamental parts of the internet. You can put *anything you want* on your own website, when you run it yourself. And I feel a whole generation is used to thinking of the internet as borrowed.

This is an embarrassingly old person online question but - do people still blog? I miss longer-form writing. I like letterboxd but I don’t always want to write about movies. Where does it happen? Tumblr? Wordpress? I feel like this is a dead art

Fun fact: erectile dysfunction risk is approximately 6 times higher in men who have had COVID. If you’re using Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend’s roommate’s uncle’s supposedly swollen balls to avoid getting the vaccine, may the odds be ever in your favor.

Sure “Peg the Patriarchy” may come from a sex positive place but I strongly agree with this take. You need to know your audience. Sex for many is already associated w/ shame - plus a surprising amount of people don’t know what pegging is. So it’s more harmful than productive.

The technical interview process gives a particularly large advantage to people who can afford to take the time to focus solely on preparing for an interview process that has very little to do with the nature of the work itself.

"...technical interviews currently used in hiring for many software engineering positions test whether a job candidate has performance anxiety rather than whether the candidate is competent at coding" Cross that with Stereotype Threat and auughhh 😱

RT @TheOracleReadsU Depression isn't always constant sadness, and crying endlessly. Sometimes its getting up, going to work and smiling and laughing all day and then coming home to stay awake in bed for hours, telling your brain to go to sleep, but not being able to get it to shut up.

It does take a while to get the confidence to just make the changes you think need to be made and put it up for PR review. Apparently I loose the confidence that I know what needs doing if I don't do code changes for a while.

Spending months doing mostly technical project management has obliterated my confidence to actually write, and make changes to, code. I find myself asking others "Hey can I just do this / add this / change this?" when the answer is just "Yes, that is your job Samathy."
