My new pet peeve interview questions that expect to see tricky for(init, check, increment) loops when modern code should be doing everything to avoid that sort of loop, favoring foreach type loops. https://x.com/dabit3/status/1349138722613293058
Memorizing the abbreviations for all the keywords in Atari BASIC is going to pay off someday. https://twitter.com/sogonsec/status/1349119896316211200
LIFEHACK: set your clock to Brisbane time right now (9:35am), and you get another 8 hours left in the day to get work done.
Build script is reporting http://setup.py doesn't exist like that is a bad thing, it should be rejoicing this state of affairs. #python

Project Risks to plan for:
- Alien invasion
- A strange cowboy saunters into town
- We are in a simulation & the host OS needs to reboot
- Hiccups that just won't stop. Contagious hiccups.
- Mamamoo drops a new album & the team needs to take a few weeks off to process
They said the secret program to breed enormous military cats was a government boondoggle. They were wrong. https://twitter.com/giantcat9/status/1349367967058976769
The right to revolt is an extralegal concept. Our government has an official path for people to create evolutionary change. If that doesn't create the possibility for a path to your desired ends, then tough. The government has a monopoly on violence to keep you from your aims.
If this is not the case, then a gov't is at best a weak government at worst, one that soon will not exist and will be replaced by one that does have a monopoly on violence & is willing to use it. Pure independence from the government is a fantasy for people with autonomy issues.

Gab's hosting situation is so far outside the legal framework of ordinary companies I wouldn't be surprised if their business model isn't to rob their own customers. Sort of like what a social media company would look like if it was run by the mafia.
They're already banned from normal IT infrastructure, banned from normal banking infrastructure, locked out of normal IT funding. North Korea in a similar situation sells Meth to keeps the lights on.

fellow #civictech people! are there any api guidelines for DoD specifically maybe? an nist doc i'm missing perhaps?
We found big brother! It is us, but not me because I'm uncomfortable sharing the same pronoun with these people. https://x.com/kcimc/status/1349289332473876480
Y2K should have been for Y2K2T...if only we'd rewritten all the software in the world in 2019, we could have prevented all of this.

So many cuss word related packages & libraries. Someone needs to create a SAAS API for the enterprise. It would be the best god damn venture capital pitch ever.

What was going so wrong with Agile/Scrum use that triggered this SAFe backlash?
Is it a GDPR vio to not actually delete content when the user requests it to be deleted? https://x.com/iAMJeremiahWeed/status/1348552262746927104
Lt. Gen. Walter E. Piatt was the guy that wanted the insurrectionists to win. Someone needs to clean house in the military.

Parler shadow banned everyone until the other users verified that the person was radical enough. Sort of like reverse moderation. https://x.com/OGBriGuy/status/1348524444101316608

Oh look, you can be a citizen digital archivist: https://tracker.archiveteam.org/
Sooo much PII. Y'all don't foget to sign up with https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see how many times your credentials were stolen. https://x.com/kingkool68/status/1348658646822039553
Rumor that parler was hacked... waiting for the credentials dump to appear.
Humble brag time, coded 37 hrs 43 mins and now my wrists hurt. That is 37h in IDE.
That is over 1 week. That be pretty cool to accomplish that in 1 day tho.

$100 Billion. Sounds like setting money on fire. Figuring out what is broken in IT governance & purchasing that led to a fragile security ecosystem shouldn't cost $100B. https://x.com/TechLayDee/status/1348619751359205377
Seem like there is a hierarchy of crimes that big orgs will respond to. Overthrow of a nation-state probably outranks lesser crimes like small time copyright vio, victimless crimes, etc. https://x.com/QuinnyPig/status/1348127975892402176
Figure in the exponents and building your own cloud is like building a Kubernetes cluster out of 50 raspberry pi's and patting yourself on the back. No one has a good feel for the scale of these things. https://x.com/QuinnyPig/status/1348122449666207745
This plus all big tech operates in every jurisdiction in the world, so rule-wise you get a blended least common denominator of what is acceptable worldwide. https://x.com/QuinnyPig/status/1348121780527923200
Dead code & a manual deployment process cost this company $400m in a failed software deployment. https://x.com/tlakomy/status/1348315953289957376
Best tools for finding dead code:
- code coverage tools, but for realistic workloads & End to End testing
- vulture (for python), but typically has too many false posistives♡ 4 ↻ 0
They'll have to ride rail I guess, a lot of them have court dates in DC. https://x.com/FFChristopherRy/status/1348333028406419457
I gave $ to flip McConnel's seat, it didn't happen. For the various Senate traitors, they can do that because they're in safe districts. Here is a crazy idea, if we want to get rid of the traitors, us small donors ought to contribute to centrist Republican primary challengers.
When I think about the money I gave to the Kentucky campaign I'm reminded about how folk here compared it to setting money on fire to feel better. Anyhow, only works if I got a few million people with me, $20 doesn't go far on its own.

Shoot, someone is wrong on my twitter feed and I need to resist replying. Sigh. This website is one great big marshmallow test, except the marshmallow has poop in the middle.
So... what happens to story points if all of the stories are lies detached from reality... https://x.com/martzmakes/status/1348287313961492481
Google has hard data that interviewing a candidate 4 times will get you all the data you need & more than that is a waste of everyone's time. https://twitter.com/ranjanahuc/status/1348284153540837378
These are abusive of a developer's time. The only time I participated in one that long the hiring folk were clowns who didn't know how IT hiring works. I might put up with this for FAANG but that is because FAANG jobs are can be like lotto tickets https://twitter.com/ranjanahuc/status/1348283516732252161
