My few contacts on here who know me at work now know that I’m looking for a job, so, uh, yeah, I’m looking for a new position. I’m a stereotype. Long-time developer, perpetual polyglot (if pressed, I’m probably strongest in #dotnet, both framework and modern flavors, and favoring f#, but if you […]

Finally catching up on #pluribus, just finished s1e5. It's a hell of a show, I can see why the Internet was buzzing about it when it came out. No spoilers please 🤫

AI is not inevitable. Nothing in human societies is inevitable because we design them. Healthcare can be free for the public. Books can be bought instead of bombs. Universities can be free for students, and they can even receive a stipend to live off. Don't […] [Original post on scholar.social]

Holy crap... the animation library I helped make just became the #1 most popular #minecraft mod. Although it's a dependency of other mods, not really a user-facing mod itself so a lot of people might not recognize it. Also I'm not sure exactly how they are […] [Original post on social.coop]

I love to highlight the amazing immigrant run restaurants in the Tenderloin. I think I’ll do it again, this time writing about some new-ish ones. 1. Kimbap Heaven on Polk & Eddy Probably the best kimbap I’ve had in SF. Very good range. They also have excellent Korean fried chicken (get the one […]

I just finished the audiobook of #Enshittification by @pluralistic#enshittification. It was good! I read his blog intermittently so a lot of the arguments and info in the book weren't new but I like how everything was organized, the hopeful message, and I definitely learned some new things! It was great to hear […]

I'm planning a big Interrail trip this year. What's the easiest / best / most fun way to meet up with friends for a drink in random cities? I usually put out a message on social media saying "Anyone in $city fancy a pint tomorrow?" Is there a way to see which of my friends on Signal / […]
