Occasionally having a babysitter come over to watch the kids just so you can sleep through the whole morning feels like committing the worst of sins. But really the best thing I’ve ever done.

When HR asks you to spend a few minutes taking the “anonymous” survey they’ve made.

First stop, Frankfurt 🌭🇩🇪

Someone on LinkedIn pointed out that #OpenAI doesn’t use an LLM for their support chat, but has instead opted to use some extremely limited decision tree. Which is both understandable, telling, and fucking hilarious.

@technomancy that’s wild. Any banks still rely on username + password as the only mean of authentication though? 😱Around here (nordics) banking has required device based MFA for the last decade or so.

@jsbarretto getting to work on open source for a living, and in some of my favorite projects too, has been the best experience in my career. I wish more people could, and I hope we’ll get to see more options for people to make a living in open source.

Having a global ~/.gitignore file (i.e. in your home directory) is a great way to allow writing notes and scratch code in any repo without having it accidentally committed.

Just a simple entry like “scratch.*” will allow you to write scratch.md files for notes, scratch.go for code, scratch.rego for policy, and so on. Super useful!

Big tech now arguing that the platforms they’ve built can’t be held accountable for e.g. racism, as racism has been around for all of human history. Well yes, you know what else has? Nipples. Interesting how easy those were to ban, but racism? “Content moderation is just *so* hard!”

Get the fuck out of here.

Call me old fashioned, but a pair of well placed googly eyes is still one of my favorite acts of vandalism. Used here to improve local real estate ads.

@BalooUriza @Gargron for us uninformed, what does that mean? 🙂

Super Godzilla for SNES, 1993.

Maybe if I work really hard

Go above and beyond

Never use sick days or vacation days

The company will notice and appreciate
