kinda weird how people will just attach chatgpt to customer service things and let it fuck around practically unmonitored while they watch their human employees like a hawk and fire them at the first …

OpenAI removing its rules against using it for Warfare and Military Tech is so fucking funny.

People are still posting on Twitter. It’s nuts. We will never end smoking.

Started the first work week of the year with a free for all bug fixing week where everyone on the team was free to fix whatever they wanted no matter priority. It is a great way to get rid of minor issues that have been bugging you for a long time, but never get scheduled to address. Highly recommended for every software project.

I wrote up a tech talk I recently did at work for our tech team meeting, about readability, inspired by a session at SoCraTes UK 2023. tl;dr think about your audience when you talk about readability, there might be some implicit assumptions https://blog.probablyfine.co.uk/2024/01/13/diving-into-readability.html #software #tdd #xp

Is there any evidence that captchas actually work? I suspect they have little to no effect, but this is based on nothing but my personal dislike of them.

Every day Hunter Biden is accused of something Sterling Archer would have a three second flashback about

reasons that traditional social media sites get shut down - we're out of money - we want more money - someone else wants our money reasons that fedi instances get shut down - harry potter video game - someone lost the one flash drive all the data was on - The Taliban

I’m pretty sure the most impactful thing I did this week was teach a colleague to git add with -p. And I feel pretty good about that. Context in case it’s useful: - p is for patch. Command ‘git add -p’ presents the user with all their unstaged changes, one chunk at a time, and prompts for whether to add it or not. This is better than using a dot to all your local changes, or having to type long file paths to pick up just a few files and ignore others. Try it!

I want boobs big enough that dudes feel awkward when they say "Thanks guys."

Fuck it. This was my 2023: getting married, almost dying, learning that the thing about almost dying is that nobody cares except for the people who care so much that it rewrites the world around you, the way that scientists love, the fact that at the end of the day we are our cells, what it means to get caught up inside of #LongCovid while everyone talks about it but nobody listens, the cruelty of doctors, how much we try not to see it all. https://www.drcathicks.com/post/covid-data-log

Silicon Valley CEOs are working overtime to ensure they never get asked questions about four day workweeks ever again.

Reading about Platformer leaving Substack after sending the company examples of Nazis hosted on the service and the company tried to discredit them about making a mountain out of a molehill. So odd to see Substack ban porn yet go to the mat for Nazis. https://www.platformer.news/p/why-platformer-is-leaving-substack

Remember how my previous employer denied my WFH request so that I could flee the state of Ohio to take care of my trans kid while still working for a company I loved? I just heard they did it to someone else today. When you insist people come in to an office a few days a week because you want a "hybrid culture" not a "remote culture" and then tell them to just fuck off when all they want to do is get their kid somewhere safe that makes you an absolutely shitty person. I'm done hiding who it was. The company is #OverDrive, based in Cleveland. They make ebook lending software for your local library called #Libby. They say they care about their LGBTQIA+ employees and families but that is clearly a lie. Ohio lawmakers are turning my home state into absolute garbage and companies like this one are playing along. Tell your local library to #DropLibby [Edit, since this is doing numbers: The reason my request was denied a little over a year ago, despite me explaining in detail why, was because they "want a hybrid culture, not a remote culture." (a quote from a senior leader to my face) In both 2020 and 2021 while the whole company was working remotely I won two annual employee excellence awards for my work on their Security team, while the company had record growth. Meanwhile, one of my teammates moved out of state to be closer to family and continued to work remotely.] #Trans #TransRights #Ebooks #Libraries #Bookstodon

Wonders what mystery was left unsolved… 🤔

Getting rejections months later (like 2+) makes me scratch my hair. I've been looking for work for ~100 days now (according to my pinned post) and at this point, I truly forgot about y'all. I'd name the company but that's not worth it
