I have just learned that there's a photo sharing social media site dedicated to astrophotography.

What an unexpected and much-needed reminder that the social web can be good and pure and cool and beautiful.

a *good* product manager has taste: they understand the product inside and out, the product's users, the interactions, how things should be shaped.

therefore: surveys, err sorry, "discovery weeks" are evidence of *deficient* product management.

the corporate way of saying this is that surveys are a low-quality conviction building tool. this is because surveys are typically biased to favor the thesis of the product manager through the design of the survey questionnaire.

what I will say is that surveys are tools of product managers to hammer engineers and designers over the head with when they insist on building things that are actually good, but aren't aligned with whatever product management's vision is

also for god knows how long now we'd been thinking of slapping an IShellBrowser on the desktop to get desktop icons. but we'd figured it might not work because of the transparent background and lack of scrollbars

lol. lmao.

it's Win32

they documented the APIs for everything!

Alright Fedi, I'm looking for a job out of AI hell. I know chances aren't great for anyone right now, but I'm taking mine anyway.

I'm a (senior?) #Python developer with 10 years of experience in both #DataScience and #SoftwareEngineering (with a preference for the latter). I can find my way around #Rust and don't shy away from #JavaScript. I've done a bit of #React lately and haven't found it terrible.

I thrive in team environments where I have time both to work on my own and in pairs or mobs ( https://mob.sh is a great tool I'd use again, but IntelliJ's Code With Me works too).

My greatest passion is automating the tasks around coding away - testing, building, deploying code with either the shortest set of commands or just fully automated from a pipeline on pull/merge requests.

I won't say no to places that require me to use AI, but I have a strong preference to be able to write my code myself.

Would love boosts for reach! Also thanks for reading 💖

If you use GenAI images on your posts, you might have people thinking your posts are slop :-/

Try some nice public domain images! How about some bridges?

Well ouch.

they aren't going to learn anything that way. there's a generation of kids who're never going to become hackers because at the critical time in their life they had access to the “make it for me” button and didn't have to struggle for it

kids seeing our emulation work and resorting to AI to build their own emulators breaks my fucking heart man

I will never apologize for a post

All I've wanted for years is an excuse to make a compiler frontend that compiles TypeScript to LLVM

But I CAN'T because I have to HAVE A JOB or SLEEP or whatever the fuck
