Lost your job due to startup collapse? Need to find a new one quickly?

Why not interview for 15 jobs across multiple titles/areas at the same time.

Study leetcode problems in 7 different languages. Be able to explain how improper pullup values on i2c lines causes animation lag in CSS on a web frontend. Analyze the UI/UX of firmware for STM32 processors using Rust based RTOSes.

You certainly will not regret interviewing for 15 jobs across multiple titles/areas at the same time.

github has added special bluesky account display to profiles

this increased clarity is definitely going to help my on-going job search

2024's most cancellable kink is AI Vore (people who get off on their content/works being fed into generative models)

@arch at VRChat there is a set number of head pats you can give a coworker in meetings before it is considered unacceptable.

putting my bsky and masto tabs next to each other in my browser and suddenly this image pops up

@vor As the developer of buttplug.io, I agree.

Tempted to take a round trip flight just so I can leave a window in the terminal and see if it's still there when I return.

"But qDot, what about the massive waste and environmental impact of this stupid, stupid experiment"

Listen buddy I did not buy an AVP in order to care about the real world.

Achievement unlocked: used apple vision pro while pooping and accidentally left virtual desktop window in the bathroom in front of the toilet and couldn't figure out how to get it back without having to physically go back to the bathroom and close the window.

The future is fucking awesome.

steam sales really starting to feel like shitposts
