  Anyone else having trouble pushing to Codeberg? It’s rejecting my key. Worked fine yesterday.

  I started commenting “too video, didn’t read” any time someone sends me a YouTube link and it’s making my life better.

  I think my favourite feature of MS Teams is the one where you click and it randomly scrolls your screen so you lose the conversation.

  I seem to have acquired a lot of new followers in the past couple of weeks. So, new followers: you have confused me with someone worth listening to. Consider this your first and last warning.

  I was re-reading some older articles I wrote. Sometimes the writing is off, though I like to think it’s not bad. And sometimes I write a fucking banger. I promise nothing, and often deliver it. I should get this framed. Or tattooed.

  New podcast! @Felienne@mastodon.social and Hanna Schraffenberger (who I don’t think is on fedi?) are talking about stuff outside computer science that computer people should probably know. The first “real” episode is Programming as Theory Building, by Naur. I am a fan of this paper so I am really looking forward to listening to it. (There’s a short introductory episode too.) https://overcast.fm/+ABYYyUqKrnE

  When you imagine an “invading horde”, what do you see? If you’re like me, educated in Europe, or one of its cultural equivalents or ex-colonies, you probably think of a caricature of Genghis Khan and his army. We have to replace this image with a British arsehole in a shit wig.

  I want a new profile picture but I don’t like my photos. Anyone know an artist where I can send them a bunch of photos and they draw me a headshot? I am thinking in a cel-shaded style or similar, but open to other ideas.

  I need to go for a 5K run this afternoon in the brief and unpredictable window between the temperature dropping and the storm starting. Which would be hard enough, but in addition, I am so fucking tired.

  This is an incredible interview with Joseph Weizenbaum, and I would like everyone to read it please. @meena https://cathode.church/@meena/116568192357693414

  How many professional programmers are working on pointless and/or actively harmful products? Give me your best guess. (If you vote, please boost to diversify the results. It’s polite.)

  If the game is only fun when you win, it’s not a good game. If the economy is only beneficial when you’re rich, it’s not a good economy.

  Seriously, how did the person who wrote this: https://www.anildash.com/2013/03/28/ten-tips-guaranteed-to-improve-your-startup-success/ also write this? https://www.anildash.com/2026/01/27/codeless-ecosystem/

  I got my new stickers from @rradczewski! If you want one, hunt me down.

  @md42 Finally read the news and holy shit. I’m glad to hear it. (Even if it is still awful news, just less awful than the alternative.)

  RE: https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116324676116121930 You gotta read this whole thread. Don’t drink coffee at the same time.

  I will never understand why we looked at modern programming, saw that there is a good bit, which is programming, and a bad bit, which is code review… and decided to automate the good bit at the expense of having to do a lot more of the bad bit.

  I think I will skip CSS Naked Day this year. I am not writing anyway, and it’s a static site so unfortunately it’s a bit of legwork on each end. I would encourage you to join though, because it’s cool!

  Desperately hoping this is yet another insider trading scam and nothing will come of it, except making some stupidly rich people a little richer.

  Alright trans friends, I got paid, who wants a pizza? [Edit: done. Cis friends, buy pizzas. Don’t boost this, post your own.] First trans person to shout at me with payment details gets 20€. (Not in North America, sorry, transferring money to you is impossible and also there are plenty of North Americans who should be throwing money at you instead.) I know it’s not much but maybe it shows that someone cares a bit. (If you are not trans and have money, buy a pizza for a trans friend plz.)
