I wrote up some thoughts about the effect of AI on programmer salaries: seldo.com/posts/ai-eff...

I’m not giving money to Democratic incumbents unless there’s a plan and it isn’t the usual bullshit.

Start your own website. Run your own blog. Use decentralized and open-sourced platforms @ghost.org is a great open-sourced blogging platform and website builder Pixelfed is doing great work for images and runs on the social web Support open social projects so your homes on the web don't fall apart

One of my biggest mental breakthroughs was when I changed my mindset from "This system is stupid and I'm going to spend all my energy fighting it." to "Even though this system is stupid, I'm going to operate within it to my advantage." Much better results, way less stress.

Never in the history of software has a library had more breaking changes between majors than React Router

It feels like the technology arms race between candidates and recruiters is accelerating. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of companies (especially smaller ones) stop allowing direct applications and instead source 100% of candidates from warm intros. blog.daviddodda.com/how-i-automa...

Some of y’all didn’t watch Wishbone as a kid and it shows

The job market is so brutal that employers are just putting the rejection right in the JD

For the past few days my feed has been like 50% jokes about murder, cool Love social media really a major plus in my life

if you're a tech journalist in the present climate, it's incumbent upon you to ask why big tech is pursuing dead ends like AI when they could just start using the number 2. ones and zeroes have taken us as far as they can. either chuck a few 2s in there or cede the future of tech to those who will

Someone I follow is reposting so much my whole feed is full, and I would be annoyed but they’re 100% bangers

What are some examples of great CLI tools for developers?

Finding founding engineers is hard. Really hard. It’s tough to find someone with the combination of skill and appetite for risk, who also doesn’t want to try to start their own thing. (For clarity, I’m offering at- or above-market comp in both salary and equity.)

I need a filter for people ending their posts in obvious engagement-bait questions, especially since it doesn't really work on here. What do you think? Let me know in the replies

instead of scolding young people into having kids, try telling them that someday a crying baby turns into an eight year old full of wonder, and you will get to see art (or baseball games, or video games, or whatever you love) anew through their huge excited eyes

if bluesky doesn’t make it i’m not downloading another app imma just start screaming all my thoughts at the sun

It seems like a good litmus test of someone's experience with software is whether they refer to people who build software as "developers" (or "engineers") or as "coders".

Sorry I can’t help it

Has there been any more info about what'll happen to .io domains going forward? I'm awfully attached to nate.io, but if I need to make a switch I'd like to figure it out sooner than later

After years on Twitter, I’m always so hesitant to post anything — even really innocuous stuff — because I don’t want to deal with idiots in the replies

can I code fast? no. but can I code well? also no. but does my code work? alas, no

LLM powered UI generation tools are amazing for people creating demos of LLM powered UI generation tools

So I'm not here because it's a left-leaning space or anything like that. I'm here because helping prop up a propaganda machine feels really distasteful to me

Has anyone figured out why boomers Capitalize some of the Words of their Sentence for Emphasis?

Registered nate.fm again finally! Real ones remember when it was my crappy music Tumblr which no one read. Let it expire and then regretted it when someone else grabbed it

BlueSky does genuinely feel like Old Twitter, and that’s really exciting

Considering options on cross-posting between here and Twitter but honestly, I might just stop using Twitter entirely. It’s always been a cesspool but since the election it’s gotten insufferable. (As a result of people all over the political spectrum.)

I really need to get my personal email under control again. I've got 300+ unreads right now and it seems like I can't delete things fast enough.

This is kind of tempting, but also my tweets from 10+ years ago wouldn't feel like my authentic self anymore, and some of them are honestly pretty embarrassing. (Nothing major, I was just young and annoying, lol)

Happy to see more folks coming over here. The vibes at the bird app continue to get worse and worse every day
