@sunscream not for me. I prefer to write things that do what they're supposed to do, without the potential of them blowing something up.
It's "throwing some code together" vs. "software engineering" type thing. We have way too much of the former, and precious little of the latter.
I like that Rust pushes me towards the latter.
This took a *long* time to get to me. It was hanging out at MIT during Covid and finally someone mailed it to me this year as the lab was being closed up.
It was a fun project to work on, though I wasn't critical. Best I can say is; "I hope I helped" 😅 But I'm also chuffed to bits to have it.
It was only after the whole contract crashed and burned (they were, it turns out, truly awful people) that I realized that my earnest data-conscious questions were threatening their whole model.
Their product was there to make the “healthy” line go up. Not to actually make people healthy, no! Just to make the line go up.
It was an offer of plausible deniability: for users, for their employers, for everyone. We can all •pretend• we’re getting healthier! Folks will pay good money for that.

@nixCraft We have been using #Jenkins at $DAYJOB for the last ten years. We didn't have any autobuilders set up when I started working here, and Jenkins was the easiest to set up.
It is painfully ignorant of branches in VCSes, which means I have to set up a new builder for every single branch I want to build from, but I've learned to live with it.
Haven't found a good alternative yet, though. Anything that cannot be installed on-premises is not an option.
I have to say, I do so enjoy having to count pennies while trying to work on tech for good while fucking billionaires have money to burn to fuck things up.
It’s. So. Much. Fun.
This "vote as if your life depended on it" shit...
It is the people who you vote for who are running cover for the businessmen who are fucking your life up.
It is the people you vote for who are sending bombs to kill strangers.
It is the people you vote for who give cops tanks and immunity.
The people you vote for ARE LITERALLY THE LAST PEOPLE ANYONE SHOULD VOTE FOR.
Sure, keep telling yourself its about sides. But its not. Its about political systems. Its about human relations.
