One of the most important questions a dev can ask is, "How can this be abused?"

Lack of empathy for the potential audience + making loads of assumptions about their level of knowledge == documentation that is opaque and unreadable
The biggest problem with RTFD is that, when you go into a project with the attitude of, "Ugh stop asking me for help, any real programmer would know all this already", your docs wind up being...stupendously bad.

Hey - I'm looking to speak to some techy trans folk about their personal experiences! Please reach out to me if you'd like!
I'm hoping to develop two lectures for the seekers and the employers alike, and I need to hear from as many voices as possible. I'm sick of the job market being so hostile.
The best punk bands are gay.
When you're an adult, you can just buy Halloween candy. You don't need to go from house to house trick or treating at all!

Im just looking forward to Trump being impeached, convicted, pardoning himself, and congress voting not to remove him from office.

this sounds subtooty but it's just an errant thought. the speed with which children's cartoon Steven Universe became a warground on Tumblr left a lasting impression on me, who has seen a couple episodes and knows simultaneously too much and almost nothing about the rest of the plot

always useful to remember imo that male and female are not categories handed down from On High, but instead arbitrary fuzzy groupings of characteristics based on human convenience and usefulness to patriarchal capitalism
Proactively muting all conversations about Steven Universe being a hideously ugly cartoon animation, because for some reason, this wrong opinion is linked to lots of even worse opinions that have nothing to do with the art style

it's just that now, if I want to suggest— say— that while children's cartoon Steven Universe is not exempt from criticism and it is admirable to remain critical of the stories you invest time in, children's cartoon Steven Universe may not be important enough to self-destruct entire networks of Internet friends over,
I become acutely aware (despite the irrelevance of the comparison) that I sound like a centrist?
When transphobes talk about the ultimate sanctity of birth certificates, how they only describe factual information present from birth, I think about that a lot.
How the hell two old-ass Italians who could barely even fuck had a Puerto Rican baby I'll never know.
When I was adopted, they changed my name AND the parents listed on my birth certificate.
Meanwhile, a lot of places still want you to cut your guts open and show them documentation that you did it if you want to alter your birth certificate to list the correct gender.
