How is it 2026 and we still have electronics shipping with a USB A Charging brick

What I’m hearing: Instagram’s Trust and Safery org absolutely gutted the last few weeks. ~60% of the org gone - between layoffs and forced reassignments to data labelling. All while “AI maxxing” pushed a bunch of bugs to prod. And hence why today’s massive Instagram account takeover happening.

I was in a winter coat 2 weeks ago, now I want to rip my skin off

the year is 2025, and for the first time in my life I actually have no computers in my house running Windows. The Unix life chose me it would seem :D

"I've suffered enough" lmao @dailydotdev.bsky.social

New post! dan-oak.dev/blog/my-jour... This is a rundown of how I ended up in a senior engineer position starting way back to the beginning of how I got involved in programming in the first place

I left my house for 30 minutes this morning, when I come back, there is a workman for the neighbours on my drive 😤 asked him to move and he goes "I'll be out of your way in 5 minutes"! Am I crazy or is that insanely disrespectful 🤬

London bus stop near Amazon HQ 🔥

public static void main open parentheses string open square bracket close square bracket args close parentheses new line open curly bracket... You get the idea... Doesn't quite have a good enough ring to it for me 😂
