twitter is a threat to our sovereignty, ban it

those new to leadership (tech lead, EM) often underestimate comms state assumptions, (over) communicate, and broadcast intent - best case you validate alignment, worse case you fix misalignment worst case no one listens and your org has a bigger problem

i too would love to see us grow our tech sector more, as i'm concerned about our sovereignty esp. given recent events i'm not thrilled at lutke's involvement given he defended the recent US-imposed tariffs and advocated we just capitulate nypost.com/2025/02/02/u...

he’s Big COBOLs now

AMERICA SERIOULY? ˢ

big downside to lack of number row on a 40% is counts in vim commands, and my muscle memory ex: typing wdd instead of 2dd, etc getting used to chording with layer key, but definitely slowing me down :/

it's been a rough week so i thought i'd rotate a gyro for everyone. as a treat

new keyboard: Kyria rev 3.1, with kailh choc sunsets built last weekend, been typing on it for a week now my first 40%, not having a number row is an adjustment, but otherwise it's great, much more compact than my ergodox was shout out to splitkb.com for having fantastic instructions

there was a time before browsers had dev tools, and firebug was the first iteration (that i recall) it’s hard to overstate its importance to frontend development in the oughts

great response to "code-writers: what 5 metrics of your choice would you want to be evaluated on?" as a coder, i'm guided by these as a hiring manager, i look for them on a resume as a people manager, i try to* use these for performance management/reviews *i don't always have control over rubrics

new hat day! hard to imagine but before Redux.js there were a dozen Flux implementations all battling it out, and i was right in the trenches doing agency work

something very satisfying about constructing a rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb by extending pyramids from faces of cubes in a checkered pattern

algorithm tweak coming soon to promote more informational/entertaining marriage goal is to maximize unregretted spouse-seconds. too much niche podcast and cli tool is being pushed that technically grows spouse time, but not unregretted spouse time

Here's a quick piece I wrote up on how to understand DOGE as a very blatant attempt at procurement capture, a simple way of making government spending corrupt to benefit the tycoons. Please do pass it along & share any feedback! www.anildash.com/2025/01/04/D... (Thx for the nudge to write it!)

it's dec 25, important day for those who celebrate this game walkthrough w/ *justified monospace text of 17k words* justified text normally adds variable space between words - in monospace font, it's by meticulous selection of characters w/ manual line breaks gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/588741-...

yeah! just like how i’m pissed off because taylor swift hasn’t reciprocated and come to one of _my_ concerts!

good lil thread about T&S at github, esp. a few posts in: > "We will resolve disputes in favor of protecting users as a whole." > That right there. That tells everyone how Trust & Safety is going to act, and it gives T&S profound latitude. They're not there to rules-lawyer or first-amendment.

come on @aaron.bsky.team, condoning stochastic terrorism is not okay

I would also say, to people who are up in arms about how we’re chasing off “reasonable voices” - take a look at the depth of anger a very large and diverse community of people have towards this man and read some of their stories and maybe reconsider how you evaluate what he does

bluesky+ feature

nothing eerie about the mass of disenfranchised victims of a system feeling cathartic that the system can also make victims of those in power who enrich themselves by building and maintaining it

💯for mics definitely stick with established audio brands lots of great options from shure, audio-technica, electro-voice, rode, among others

i’m thrilled more of tech has come here from twitter, but can we leave low effort brand memes behind? you’re a brand account! talk about new features or something! this isn’t good content!

Some genuinely terrible people whining about the "block culture" here on Bluesky is how you know the block culture is working, keep blocking those genuinely terrible people, folks, soon the only people they'll be able to bother here is each other

great to hear and i trust the intentions are good right now, but would love a stronger "we will not" instead of "have no intention", especially since bluesky has raised vc money

Just came across this on Mastodon and thought I'd share it for anyone wondering if adding image alt text is "worth it." ChanceyFleet: "As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos... all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience."
