I don’t know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going ‘This will never work, I’m a failure’, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive

It’s ok if your parents who mostly stay home, read books and watch movies keep their passwords in a little notebook in a desk drawer or something. Manage risk in a way that’s relevant to the person’s actual lifestyle and needs.

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

Our statement on the UK gov't's demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the UK be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification & content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/20...

“Jeff thinks the beans need to take turns lmao” is a load-bearing tweet. I’m not saying it needs to be taught in schools, but I wouldn’t exactly oppose it

I do not write “thoughtful, experienced architecture”. I write triple nested for loops, and if I run out of memory, I buy more RAM.

I think two things are true: thoughtful, experienced human architects for large-scale, production-level codebases are absolutely critical. BUT ALSO people with lower-level dependencies (👋) have had doors opened for them that were unimaginable a couple of years ago with huge positive implications.

every mushroom foraging guidebook: This is Woodland Pot Roast, a tasty little mushroom that adds a delightful flavour to soups and stews. Note that it is often mistaken for Satan’s Fistula, a mushroom that erases the last 9 generations of your family from God’s ledgers.

God it just can’t stay this bleak forever right. Like we’re gonna do solar and the seas won’t cover the coasts and we’ll stop betting on societal collapse and remember that we’re here to be kind to each other right.
