we need a trash developers conference, where people give excited presentations about running useful, exciting new software on computers they found in the trash.

If anyone in Seattle has a place for me to stay, I would greatly appreciate it.

I will couch surf for a while. As long as I can park my car, I'm good.

I'm gonna be working my ass off to ensure this is a temporary thing.

it is so very cool how because I decided to spawn outside the USA in the game of life I get to be hired for a Senior ANSI C Developer position and still be paid less than 30k/yr USD

re: Web dev rant 

@SteelWool there are plenty of small css frameworks like bootstrap to make things easier but running code on the client's machine just to show pictures and words ain't it chief

please understand the dichotomy between website and Web app i've made web apps before and i've used javascript to make them yes it's neat that the convergence point of web browsers has made it the easiest distribution platform for software that has more native overhead than Java but if'm i'm looking for just some words and pictures i don't need you to run code on my machine

if your website doesn't function at a base level without a javascript engine you made a mistake somewhere

re: Web dev rant 

@SteelWool i think if you're using webassembly to make a website you already made a wrong choice somewhere

@marlowe it should work as a PWA cached locally if you install it to your device

note no wifi or mobile data, and don't mind the version being wrong my cache is wonky

if you see people from other instances boosting posts they probably wouldn't have, looks like that's possible to just randomly happen on mastodon without their knowledge. happy posting!
