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?

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
@andrewt @OscarCunningham @kenshirriff okay just to get it out of my system
(not sure about shrinking the timing markers, it seems to work on my (iOS) phone but ymmv i guess?)
A working QR code in the style of Piet Mondrian. Inspired @divbyzero and @andrewt.
TL;DR:
1) The guy who operates the Yesterworld YouTube channel woke up one day to find his entire channel demonetized. That's nine years of work.
2) He appealed the decision to Google, and Google approved his appeal. All he had to do to restore his ENTIRE INCOME was log in to the Google account that's tied to his AdSense account.
3) He can't log in to that Google account, because that account requires SMS 2FA, and apparently for some non-trivial number of people Google's SMS 2FA is just flat-out broken
4) You'd think that wouldn't be a problem if you'd set up some alternative means of 2FA (like a recovery code), but whatever is breaking SMS 2FA for these users is preventing those things from working too
5) Google knows about all this and doesn't give a shit
6) So Yesterworld guy has been deprived of his ENTIRE INCOME for months, with no prospect of relief because Google's system is an unaccountable nightmare machine
the scarcest resource is give-a-shit. even something perfect will collapse if there's not enough give-a-shit to go around. the only reason anything works is because there's people in the background invisibly doing thankless labour to keep everything working. it's so hard to explain this point. I've heard people say it before I became a community organizer and was like "I guess that makes sense" but now that I've got all this experience it REALLY makes sense. I'm not sure how I'd explain this experience-backed understanding to myself from three years ago. probably impossible.
Partial eclipse from Germany. Really happy with how this shot turned out. Taken with an Acuter Elite Phoenix 40 and a ToupTek G3M678M.
