When Trump announced his first campaign in the quaint old days in 2015, I began cleansing my Twitter feed of anyone who switched from nerd stuff to politics. After a couple of months I was left with no one to follow, so I left Twitter entir

I prefer not to follow news at all. 99.999% of it never has anything to do with me. If I can’t hear it from the front porch of my house, I don’t care to know about it.

I quit Twitter in 2015 when my supposedly level-headed friends (most of whom are fellow software engineers) lost their minds and switched to posting only about politics. Twitter immediately lost all utility. To me, politics has little to do

One can of course boot more or less directly to Vim: https://raymii.org/s/blog/Vim_as_PID_1_Boot_to_Vim.html You asked for a decent editor, not a kitchen sink, so I’ll stop here without touching on Emacs.

Thank goodness! The unicorn I work for will finally ditch JIRA and move on to something more user-friendly. What a relief.

I regularly rotate my anonymous accounts on HN. A significant risk of reputational damage is attached to saying anything at all in a public forum. Who knows what else might get me canceled years or decades down the line? Better safe than so

I’ve interviewed with both Facebook and Coinbase via Triplebyte. Guess what? Both forced me through a complete gauntlet of interviews and disregarded Triplebyte’s report entirely. So what is the point of Triplebyte in all of this?

The idea of Lambda is great, but their execution has been shit. First off, the ISAs are securitized and resold. Lambda has zero incentive to do anything above and beyond pushing students through some percentage of the program. Second, Lambd

YouTube doesn’t need your support, but creators do. Many offer a more direct way to funnel donations than via ads on YouTube, ie Patreon, merch, Twitch subs, etc.

I work for a programmatic advertisement company. It’s a big name in the space. Whenever someone shares their screen during a meeting I pay special attention to their browser. Every single one of my colleagues runs some kind of ad blocker. S
