Big thanks to Bill for helping make this happen, by fighting to protect IP rights, ensuring AstraZeneca didn’t open source its vaccine, and constantly spreading the false narrative that much of the Global South can’t be trusted to manufacture vaccines.

Just when it seemed like life would return to normal, we could be entering the worst part of the pandemic. Omicron will hit home for all of us. Close friends of mine now have it, and I’ve canceled most of my holiday plans.

So here’s the real question: do I try to write this game (which needs websocket and fancy multi user frontend support) in Elixir/Phoenix (more stuff done out of the box) or do I try doing it in Rust (more hand rolling, but I like Rust more)

Crypto peddlers like to equate their toxic invention as a gift that we are too stupid to understand.

They are not the new Internet, they are the new asbestos, the new lead in gas, the new cigarette, the new thalidomide - snake oil pitched by swindlers and charlatans.

@migueldeicaza Every generation of technologists believes their generation is the best, last, and final technology:
- Mainframes
- Mini computers
- UNIX workstations/servers
- Web 1.0 and desktop browsers
- Web 2.0 and mobile
- Web 3.0 and decentralization

If you don't get it, I can't help you

I think I’m going to revive the same project I keep trying (and failing) to make and just be chill about it this time.

It’s also literally the project that got me into programming in the first place. Because I wanted to make a MUD of my own.

Anyone down to playtest a MUD? 🤓

I kinda want to write a video game now instead of messing around with dev tooling 👀

I can’t believe I’ve had a twelve year long career because of this.

For context, Clockwork was the ONLY software place I applied to. My only “experience” was fixing people’s computers and that I was usually applying for were GeekSquad-style jobs 🤓 (no one wanted me)

@zkat__ ("tired but ❄️festive🎄 gay") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

So yeah. Please hire folks like me. Please stop focusing so much on having the ideal candidate straight out the door and hire people with good hearts and some flexibility whose lives you can literally change by giving them their first opportunity. They’ll surprise you.

@zkat__ ("tired but ❄️festive🎄 gay") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

I can’t emphasize how much of a risk it might’ve seemed to hire some rando who sent them an overly eager cover letter. I had been essentially jobless for like 2 years and living in a room with my then in-laws. I had literally no coding credentials besides some small GitHub stuff

@zkat__ ("tired but ❄️festive🎄 gay") wrote:

I managed to make it into the industry not because I was some awesome programmer with a CS degree or whatever, but because a couple of folks at @Clockwork_Tweet decided to give me a chance as a QA person with a bit of coding opportunity.

I’m forever grateful. It changed my life.

I am begging you, especially anyone who has had to do ANY work handling incidents around CVE-2021-44228 & friends:

Please take a break and rest. Eat a vegetable, touch a plant, experience a weather, anything. Even if you enjoy them, please step away from the computers for a bit.
