@gloom303.com kicking soundtrack!

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

The worst thing - professionally - about the AI craze is that it gives everyone in the industry an excuse to ignore the hard-earned lessons of how software engineering works and fails. The Mythical Man-Month comes to mind

12 hours in, Azure is incredibly high-friction. Obtuse security model (EntraID App, AD SP, Graph permissions... oh my), problematic availability (East US is nigh unusable), broken ecosystem with e.g. Terraform provider bugs... The only selling point is that customers demand it.

Niche humor at its finest

After months of work, I'm happy to release my documentary featurette on a very rare DOS sound card (how's that for niche?): youtu.be/Eeo4INoGyRY If you have any friends who are into DOS sound cards, the Apple II, music on personal computers in the 1980s, forward this to them; they might like it.

Dear overzealous IT departments: stop dicking around with developer laptops. Your JAMF, DNS filters, antivirus software and machine enrollments don't do much beyond ruin our productivity. Signed, people who use their machines for more than just web browsing.

If you see this, quote a game with a 10/10 soundtrack.

New loot!

If anything in my life is likely to get me in shape, it’s Beat Saber

Oh really, Mr. McTechRecruiter? You were really impressed with the work I did at my current company that has nothing to do with the job you're offering me? Well isn't that something.

I need to tap someone for expertise and am happy to pay for it. Specifically I'm looking for working experience integrating a C++ and Python (cmake+pybind11) with a proper local setup (Python project depending on bindings built from local repo). LLVM experience a bonus. Takers?

They’re running a test on the air raid sirens in a nearby town and my dog went flying to the shelter in a state of panic. I only wonder if the whole country is actually entering the P- part of PTSD, or very much just TSD.

I have a soft spot for smaller and/or community-oriented conferences like @geecon.bsky.social and @joyofcoding.bsky.social. What are some of your favorite software/ops conferences these days?

Canaanite standoff

@spacequesthistorian.com I'm assuming you know of this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB9o.... I was pleasantly impressed!

‘Twas fun! These discussions always play better when the participants aren’t in full agreement a-priori. Would be happy to return if appropriate…
