Spammers need to get better than "Time for a quick call to connect?"

The layoffs will continue until the economy improves!

When a bot with 100k followers drops into your mentions, I suppose it's only fair to respond politely,,

If you're team's considering adopting Rust and would like some training or support, my direct messages are open! I have a few spots opening up in the new year.

Standing for council so that there's at least one councillor who understands how Reply-All works in 2025.

People are saying so many nice things. It's really quite hard to take in.

@rustforgeconf.com was AWESOME! 🙌 So lucky to be part of a lovely #rustlang conference, here in my home of #wellington, #newzealand. Met lots of interesting people, learned some new Rust, enjoyed sharing my own creative passions. 🦀🥝 Thanks @timclicks.dev for organizing. 💜

Some people seem to enjoy making catering easy to plan for...

Attention developers in Australia and New Zealand: Invest in your future by getting to Rust Forge in 2 weeks' time. (Yes there will be companies actively hunting for talent in the room - they've made this very clear)

2 weeks until Rust Forge starts. Do your future self a favour and register. And if you're feeling brave - send your manager another email to ask whether there's training/professional development budget available.

I created some new banner art for Rust Forge this morning. What do you think?

Being the last person on dial up would be quite the flex, imo.

Rust Forge is a tech conference for stable, secure and energy efficient computing (& I'm totally down for it)

Do I dare submit this to the C++ subreddit? youtu.be/xihX4RzStYk

Maybe the Rust compiler could incorporate a teaching mode that would allow emoji identifiers like 🫠:

DNS appears to be making my life easy again. My new website timmo.nz is available, but I can't seem to get Cloudflare, Fastmail and Mailgun to talk nicely to each othe - so mail isn't working.

Americans would rather buy overpriced theanine supplements, rather than just savouring a few minutes to pause and drink tea.

So, Strategy's strategy is to hoard BTC so that it decreases the money supply, thus pushing up the price?

We should have a larger convo about how companies like American Eagle use beautiful people to add glamor to unglamorous products. In 2023, a young Bangladeshi woman committed suicide at a factory that made American Eagle clothes bc of abuse. This is the cost of cheap, trendy clothes.

Some excellent tips for those speaking at conferences :) by @timclicks.dev ( @rustforgeconf.bsky.social ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssES...

So, Trump's added a USD 250 "visa integrity fee" for visitor visas among others.. ...you know, you don't need to go to the USA to go to an amazing Rust conference this year. You've got options.

Conferences are not expensive. They should pay for themselves. Here's how:

Actually, vibe coding is not very relaxing at times.

Make connections with Rustaceans from all around the world at Rust Forge Conf next month

Not to alarm you, but if you were interested in attending the Application Security Workshop at Rust Forge Conf next month, there's only 1 space left (link to register is in the image's alt text)

The most important part of going to a conference is meeting people. Meeting with folks in Oceania will be a great way to expand not only your network, but your ideas on how the world works! Let's learn with each other!

Find yourself a community that talks about you the way the Rust Forge community talks about you

Let's get 50 registrations sold in 25 days! Who do you know who knows Rust, or has always wanted to ever since they first heard about it?

Let's say you were to try to market a portable communication device this large today. What would it do?

Cutting local government services isn't the only way to keep council rates low... timmo.nz/why-density...

Sometimes I wish I could turn my brain off. I spent way too long trying to turn this GIF into a perfect loop.

Norberto lives in London. What's your excuse? If it's money that's holding you back, send me a DM. (You know a guy who might be able to get you a deal, i.e. me. When you run the conference, you get to make deals)

If you've ever wondered what AWS is hoping to achieve with AI, then you should check out this podcast interview with Rahul Kumar, Senior Applied Science Manager. He's responsible for AWS's financial support of a program to formally verify Rust's stdlib timclicks.dev/podcast/rah...

People say that digitally signing documents with GPG is hard, but have you ever tried accessing the services of a notary public?

Fresh news about Rust Forge!

Good news! It's Rust underhanded trivia question time! (Even Gemini got this wrong - I just checked) Q: When do you need to use an unsafe block to call a safe function?

By the way, I've been told by multiple people that majority of ticket sales for tech events occur in the last 4 weeks. If that's true, then we'll definitely sell out .. and you'll miss out 😢. To avoid this from happening, reserve a place now with the "Invoice Me" option and pay later.

Do you know anyone who might benefit from discounted registrations to Rust Forge?

mfw I ask you why you're not coming to Rust Forge in August

In machine learning, people talk about weights and biases. There seems to be much more emphasis on the weights than the biases.

Are any of my followers based in New Zealand? Want to help bring an urbanist, progressive and a somewhat technically literate voice to local government here? I'm running for Hutt Central in this year's council elections and need to create a small team to help with that.

If I had time for another distraction, I think that I would pick computational astronomy. With the Vera C. Rubin Observatory telescope providing its data to the public openly soon, surely there will be something to find that people are not already looking for. rubinobservatory.org/news/rubin-...

Unfortunately I can't make it, but Tim is amazing and I know y'all are gonna have a great time in NZ 🔥🚀🦀
