Still unemployed and getting increasingly worried about my situation. Any help finding a good, stable tech job is deeply appreciated! I've coded for 30 years, since I was an eight-year-old. I was a CTO of a Y Combinator company. I'm a polyglot down to work in most languages.

In response to the overwhelming backlash to his autonomous vehicles bill, Councilmember Allen took it to the shop for repairs — but we’re still not buying it! Now he’s trying to sneak a hearing by to sell us a lemon; pack the room for the hearing tomorrow: actionnetwork.org/events/ral…

I haven't agreed with this take in many years and dislike that people spread it around in my name.

The easiest parts of coding are often thousands of lines and the hardest only a few. Like in web dev, basic React components, API endpoints, etc. are things most senior devs could write in their sleep but take up huge chunks of codebases by lines of code.

Ai is bad, but its a very small fraction, HOWEVER its only ten lines so. Why didnt they just do it themselves????

Frasier episode where both Niles and Frasier buy leather jackets inspired by Jensen but are too afraid to be seen around each other in them for fear of being seen as insufficiently classy

One of the things you learn in metro Atlanta (or at least you should) is that some of the best food in the country comes from the Buford Highway corridor, which is full of the most unremarkable looking restaurants in lower-middle class strip malls.

on the contrary, the best food often comes from hole-in-the-wall type places run by immigrants who are the most likely to cheap out on this kind of stuff

The best Banh Mi I've ever eaten came from Lee's Bakery, a place that looks like this in that area nitter.cf/phanpypampy/status/212…

Replying to @ExistentialEnso
I recently had one of the best Banh Mi's of my life specifically choosing the one with kinda dingy looking, less appetizing authentic looking dishes over the instgram-ready ones (at a similar star rating).

I'm not anti-AI, but I will never step into a restaurant that advertises their food with AI images of it

I'm not saying it isn't unappetizing with how bad a lot of the AI art is But the best culinary experiences often come from not judging a book by its cover and giving places that don't have surface-level polish serious consideration

The first thing I learned in engineering school is that a good developer is someone who knows how to do a good Google search to find the piece of code they need and copy paste it

I think it's insane that people are using the "0.1% dog poop" argument in reference to the Big Walk while having 100k+ posts on Twitter. Like, this app is at least 60% dog poop and also builds the dog poop factory. You are shoveling your face with dog poop every single day. Why

The dog poop argument will forever be evergreen when it comes to dealing with AI cattle. They would genuinely eat food that has dog poop in it just because only a small portion of it has it
