The official #GameAwards stream on YouTube, including the pre-show, is 3 hours and 37 minutes long.
The trailers total ONE HOUR AND FORTY-FIVE MINUTES.
The award acceptance speeches meanwhile, including the few in the pre-show, total just TWELVE MINUTES.
Fuck that.
GUAC aggregates software security metadata into a high fidelity graph database. - GitHub - guacsec/guac: GUAC aggregates software security metadata into a high fidelity graph database.
After this codeforward conference and govai which was running at the same time, I got a better sense of the wild amount of fomo and hype and llms being pushed on teams without having real agency, and I get the anti-llms reaction by developers a bit more.
Also realized, through my new found lenses, how political software development is in companies (which I traumatizingly didn’t realize before), and damn am I glad to not be in this rat race.

Wrote a new little tool to help determine the minimum OPA version needed to evaluate any provided Rego files. Published today as #mcov. I know *I* will use it extensively, but if it's helpful to anyone else, all the better. On that and some other projects I'm involved in my new "December hacks" blog.

Measuring work linearly in hours makes no sense. I get progressively more useless the more hours I work. Those last hours are just really expensive theater that actually hurts people. Makes no sense.
Autism: I must eat breakfast at 9am
ADHD: oops forgot
Autism: that’s okay, we usually have our first meal of the day at lunch, 12pm on the dot
ADHD: I see your “12pm” and raise you “17.56pm”
Autism: I fucking hate you

This time I do know who needs to hear this: Explicitly put your compensation range in the job description/listing. It saves everyone a lot of time. Oh, you're willing to go above that for the 'right' candidate? Then just say that too.
My dad has spent some of his retirement doing hobbyist machine learning projects. He heard the term “data lake” a while back and has taken to calling his datasets a “data swamp.” Feels like a …
Okay assessment done
I am fucking EXHAUSTED!!!!
He says I get no autism points for my emotive facial expressions and gesticulation (I’m the human emoji after all) but whilst not giving me a definitive diagnosis and I have to wait a week he says there are several areas that speak to an ADS diagnosis
Probably the fact I spent the entire two and a half hours staring outside the window whilst waxing lyrical about “I don’t know” or when asked to define specific emotions or “happiness is a lack of sadness I guess?” and “no I find most people irritating” and “I don’t really feel anything at all” when asked to talk about family stuff
And I’m going to send him my report from my private assessor :)
So fingers crossed I get declared autism
Started to shut down at the end so glad that’s over
Assessment step one: arrive to find the reception is never “manned” and I’m supposed to “wait until I’m called” so naturally I’m going more insane by the second wondering at what point should I wander the halls or go back downstairs to reception saying I haven’t been called but also if I leave then maybe they will call me when I’m not there and then I’ll miss my assessment and then I’ll just DIE!!!!!!

Learning my way through AWS Lambda, Serverless Framework, and AWS Step Functions.
On a totally unrelated note: remembering my aerospace class in high school where the teacher mentioned it was fun to watch the ultralight trend reimplement and reinvent established practices, and how we'd all probably see similar cycles a few times in our lives.
I'm hearing that @linuxfoundation@social.lfx.dev made staff cuts today.

Zoom Recording Sharing Service We’re distributed by design, which means our company policies and values revolve around how to best work when Elasticians are spread around the world. One consequence of this design is that communication is challenging - getting everyone on the team across 14 time zones on a call regularly is not reasonable. We counter this by taking things async when possible but acknowledge that a synchronous video call has its place. In many ways this is even an advantage, a...
Elon Musk being a complete wanker and Tesla being a nightmare of quality issues and lies about functionality aside

I know we’re supposed to forgive people and let stuff go now, because everyone has decided that that’s productive, but in this case: No. Fuck Drew Barrymore forever.
The neurodivergent nerd instinct to work at startups so the job burns out before you do.
Note: I’m fine — or at least operating within normal parameters — it’s just a stray thought.
