Figured I'd open source the little preact+signals mastodon client I wrote a few years ago, in case the code is useful to folks.

It's called Mastodawn - a streaming, offline-first installable Mastodon web app that weighs under 100kb.

The negative outcomes of a static senior/junior distinction mindset include:

- complacency once you've achieved an arbitrary title
- failure to identify specific skills needed to complete specific projects
- treating other engineers as homogenous and fungible based on level
- not listening to people lower-level than you are because you're now Senior-er than them
- failing to provided needed pushback on people higher-level than you are even when you have specific knowledge that they don't

Google has become everything it once pretended to disdain -- an arrogant, sleazy, control-freak monopolist.

"Now that code is free..."

Any assertion that follows this is predicated on a falsehood.

Plausible-looking code might now be cheap. But *working*, reliable code that can be changed at low cost without breaking it?

For most teams, that's even more expensive now.

The pixel art in the The Secret of Monkey Island port for the Commodore 64 looks wonderful!

It feels like the C64 version the universe just forgot to release.

Really clever malware taking advantage of the fact that everyone is trying to block slop trainers, so you see cloudflare messages more and more frequently.

Check out the full thread for how it works.

Be careful folx!

Fostering an environment where the only tech we're allowed to criticize is the tech we immediately stop using makes us weird and territorial and guarantees we stop making objective observations. Because then it just becomes trying not to be a hypocrite.

Using Proton is still better than ad-tech email. That doesn't mean we don't call them out. It's not our job to protect them. It's their job to earn goodwill. And their rationalization was dog shit. That's on them.

Puerto Rico mentioned!

The book mention the first cases were introduced to several islands on the #Caribbean by these pleasure cruises.

The story about COVID19 in #PuertoRico can be murky.

One of the earlier known positive cases came from Panama and later died in New York. It was air travel AFAIK. https://noticel.com/noticias/mundo/20200310/paciente-con-coronavirus-en-panama-estuvo-en-puerto-rico/

@fromjason I used to think the rabid AI boosters just kept thinking the next model would be the one that makes them not sound asinine and their enthusiasm justified, then I realized they all think they sound reasonable (and that each other sounds reasonable), so no one should've been listening to them in the first place lol

I keep seeing articles like this, about how people choosing to drink less is hurting bars and restaurants, and it's almost always framed as people, especially younger generations, don't like to drink.

They never seem to bring up the fact that a cocktail is like $20 now unless you go to a really divey dive bar. It's the same kind of reporting they on how no one goes to the movies anymore. It's always about changing habits, and never that movie tickets just cost a lot now.
