I am a generalist, currently employed as a front-leaning, ¾-stack engineer at Fastly. I have a double major in political science and film theory, aka the Oliver Stone. I live in Denver. I can smell the onions and the mustard.

Sports owners are using tech to build private surveillance states — while taking public money. Which means that Knicks owner James Dolan is the future. In a new collaboration with @wired.com, we go inside how MSG secretly watches fans, surveils kids, tracks players… youtu.be/yNZ3hJPN5Vc?...

It’s exhausting that every interaction with customer service is followed by a survey that has nothing to do with the problem you were trying to solve.

People will say it's "Tech Week" here in NYC. Well, any event run by Andreessen Horowitz is illegitimate, because the NYC tech community has values, and one of its most fundamental is its humanity. They have forfeited theirs.
