I've been wondering a lot about aging in software development.
Any > 40-year old developers out there that'd like to share their perspective?
How did you grow (technically, managing, etc...)? Picked up fields over others (embeded systems over web app, for instance)?
Would love to connect!
Boost for reach please 🙏
Mastodon FeedI keep nerdsniping myself. Or more like dropping a nerdgrenade on myself.
I made gif.ski use just LZW code from gifsicle, not all of the library. So I thought it's just a couple of functions - should be easy to port to #Rustlang.
c2rust was too annoying to use (needs some obscure Python tool for no good reason), so I dusted off my old transpiler (https://lib.rs/crates/citrus). But it hacks LLVM v4 internals, because libclang sucked, so now I'm reinventing bindgen and libclang in newer LLVM.

Mastodon FeedSomehow I wanted to doodle a character with multiple eyes.. No idea where that came from, but it was fun. Got some Gary Numan "My Name Is Ruin" in my head, that might have influenced the tattered fabric. :blobcat_nwn:
Mastodon FeedKinda neat to read this SO question from 2009 asking about how people are using multi-core / concurrency in the real world.

John Waters has a thing in This Dirty World, I think, where he says, "In my day, 'art' meant 'dirty.'"
It's kinda coming true again! Around 2015 I started to notice that a lot of new, R-rated genre trash that would've had a lot of nudity in the 80s was pretty chaste and modest.
We're back to a film culture where you're a lot more likely to see nudity in a movie like Hereditary than a movie where Jason Statham plays a rogue hitman.

21. The Pope's Exorcist (2023). There are things about this that sound good on paper (Franco Nero plays the pope, vomits blood; a bit more nudity than I'm used to seeing in 2020s genre trash) but it never really grabbed me. This feels like the sort of creatively troublesome, mildly humiliating movie-within-a-movie the characters would struggle with making in a movie like Cat in the Brain or Broken Embraces.

Mastodon FeedIt's well known that trains are more efficient at moving people than passenger cars, but it's amazing to see it quantified. The throughput difference is absolutely massive.
