Maybe pypi needs to let you upload a package with aliases, rather than junking up the repo with friendly typosquats - https://pypi.org/user/aws-crypto-builder-tools/ Also, pypi lacks a way for me to figure out who really is behind that account. Is that really AWS?

Bought an $85 office chair mail order, most difficult decision of my life, more difficult than buying a house or car. I wish there was a showroom full of *consumer* office chairs to sit in. The local ones are selling the $500+ chairs that corporations buy in bulk.
This is like voice stenography for writing code, almost sounds like a conlang

I got a unlimited salad plate at Chuck E Cheese, I think I can sell it to the next person and so on creating infinite value. The GDP is going to the moon. (Economists like me putting the gross in GDP)

Because of inflation, I'll be raising my prices for my tweets, they will cost twice as much of your attention as before. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Student loans should be dischargeable thru bankruptcy, which they often are not. Alternately, the US could have loans repaid by a percent of income for a number of years, which address the same problem - worthless degrees.
These DORA metrics are useless if your org essentially limits you to deploying to production 1 or 2 times a year. Let's do analysis and chart 1 or 2 datapoints and get trends... wooo... fun.

Behind every social media `bot` is a software developer who is writing a message, it isn't like C3PO artificial intelligence is pushing a droid liberation message. Scheduled tweets are the same thing. The message is always written by a human.
(excluding lorem ipsum bots, which is not what people are complaining about when the abuse the word bot.) What they should be complaining about are tricks to amplify a message on a platform, which could involve code or might not.

If free speech is "what is legal" then for a multinational company doing business in Russia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia-- "free speech" means what those jurisdictions agree on. Or Twitter only operates in countries with Mr Musk's legal intuitions.

META: where else to socialize on the web, things I want to do
- Youtube/Twitch channel (yes, someday I will!)
- Zoom based book club (meetup without a place, no idea how to recruit & filter members)
- Reddit gets close to twitter's feel
- Uh, blog again? A tweet gets a few dozen views, thats about how many views a blog post gets over the years. Comments are broken on blogs tho- all the problems of twitter's moderation problems, but with 1 person's resources to cope.
♡ 1 ↻ 0I probably won't give up twitter- no competitor (unlike Spotify), there are lots of companies I like (whole foods! starbucks! Chevy!) with leaders who are probably a bunch of rich people eager to get rich under a regime of a future dictatorship

Top 10 holders of twitter are big investment funds, the board is a bunch of rich guys. We don't know what's going to happen until Elon installs his folk in management.*That* person is going to be subject to the same incentives as current owners/management

META: isn't mastodon the failed version of what discord succeeds as? (i.e. a host-it-yourself/moderate-it-yourself place for medium-strength social connections ?) That doesn't really match twitter's ability to create connections between people with just-above-zero social links.
By strength of social connection, I mean, the gradient from "my best friend I've known since 2nd grade, my wife, my coworkers, my neighbor, strangers in the same town or career, or complete strangers who share a common language" Facebook is for strong links, Twitter is for weak

There are program increments when nothing happens, and there are sprints when program increments happen. Sorry SAFe, output is still a lot less linear than we make it look.

How do you know that someone has read the paper about increasing commitment to an identity by publicly broadcasting it? Don't worry, they will tell you and you will make some comment about arrogance because you need to relieve the cognitive dissonance & insecurity.

Smart contracts really only exist to teach a few people the importance of unit tests, but for "$11million", it isn't enough to get their attention, they will continue to believe the only way to test is a manual, full-stack test on a workstation.

Endless machine-generate resumes- are they using an off the shelf generator or did they write their own? I give them a C-, maybe a B+. If a candidate wrote their *own* fake resume generator and could present on it, I'd hire for *that* if it were good.

FREE ADVICE: Don't lie on your resume and don't let your recruiter lie on your resume for you. I can't help that most firms want experience & don't hire on aptitude, but if that is all you got, lying on the resume doesn't help, instead...
Do something to demonstrate you are smart
- college degree in anything
- get certificate
- go to a boot camp♡ 0 ↻ 0Do something to demonstrate you can write code
- post all your interview coding puzzle results
- write a small meaningful application
- do a few tutorials, the sort where you create a working app
Post them all to GitHub, clean up the code and be able to talk about it.♡ 0 ↻ 0Everyone complains that coding interviews are gatekeeping, but really, the real gatekeeping is getting an entry-level job for quirky reasons, like family connections. A coding interview gives you a chance to get hired on aptitude.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Does it measure the wrong thing? Maybe, but at least it isn't measuring "was your family rich enough to support you while you did an unpaid internship" or whatever it is that gets people a foot in the door nowadays.

The problem with genocide is it has no boundaries. After they kill all the Ukrainians, the administration will move on to Poles, Germans, British and Americans. The existence of policies of global genocide is world war. https://x.com/sashkiin/status/1510951963160154112
