Not the person you're replying to, but they are replying to me. If there is any doubt about my position: being gay is 100% not a choice.

I (think I) got it from ReinH on birdsite (before everyone left and moved to mastodon and Bluesky). He also gave a lot of talks on blameless postmortems and culture and general SRE stuff. This is one talk but not sure if it touches on the o

I agree. To me, it's like a blameless retro. You can either seek understanding or seek blame, but not both at once. The author seemingly had a lot of judgement and blame for the dad before finding this out. It sounds like they are seek

I miss him too. We knew each other online for some time, but that was the first time I ever met him in person. I came back and couldn’t stop talking about him to my wife when she asked how the conf went. Truly an inspiring experience. I ho

It’s not even remotely close to the main point of the article but: I really like the Chris Seaton callout. I talked about this initiative with him the RubyConf before he passed. Open Source contributors and maintainers feel that there is a

I’ve been on both sides of this equation. If someone is dinging you for doing extra work, it could be a sign that your priorities are not aligned. Like, if you’ve got a tight deadline coming up, it’s not the time to spend a week making CI s

The pay question is valid, but not appropriate for a technical interview. If someone asked me I wouldn’t even know the answer. That would be a question for the recruiter or possible engineering manager. I think it’s 100% okay to ask about p

Oh for sure. Ask questions, just not annoying whiteboard questions. Also I hate this “ask us anything” part of the interview. It’s so performative. It should be rephrased as “the jeopardy round” since it’s still about the candidate, but phr

It’s a trick question. The number is a distraction. If they don’t ask the model year of the VW Beatle they’re clearly not detail oriented and can’t be trusted. /s

I’ve never actually done this. But I’ve fantasized about preparing several interview questions for the company I’m interviewing at. They forget that interviews are a two way street. If I like them (and the process was bearable), I would ask

I learned to love rustfmt but there’s one thing that bothers me: There’s a few times where there are two ways to do something like a one line closure can omit the curly brackets, but multi line closures cannot. Rustfmt prefers to remove tho

Thanks! Have you found any types of meditation work better or are easier? Suggestion where to start if it hasn’t stuck in the past?

Next time Please state that upfront: you don’t know anyone with ADHD that this has been effective for and you dont have ADHD yourself. “Have you tried” comments from people without firsthand experience is basically asking others to be your

I’m not clear. Are you someone who has ADHD or is this recommendation based on experiences with someone with ADHD? I have ADHD and meditation, for me, is very difficult. Painful even.

The interesting thing here is that it breaks assumptions that to be "alpha" you MUST dominate to win. Even if within only these parameters, it suggest there are conditions where being "nice" isn't just a nebulous et

I don’t think you realize that you’re making demands on an author who doesn’t owe you anything. And what you’re asking for is quite difficult. I think it’s okay to frame it as a wish or a desire. “I wish more articles include …” Or as frust

The article is stating what inputs they used and the output they observed. They stated they saw more tokens used and more time spent before returning an answer. That seems like a data point you can test. Which is maybe not the zoom level or

The problem I have with this approach is that it seems models get confused with prescriptive information such as print “it worked” or a comment stating the desired intent of code (which it doesn’t do at all). As opposed to descriptive infor
