(he/him) Postdoc at the University of Maryland I make tools that help developers to build trust in their software using techniques from PL, SE, and HCI. Currently on the academic job market, looking for tenure-track positions! https://harrisongoldste.in

I'm incredibly excited to announce that I've accepted a tenure-track position as an assistant professor at the University at Buffalo! The PL/SE group at UB is already really impressive, and I am honored to be part of its continued growth

I still have my Twitter account because I want to make sure folks can reach me for job market reasons, but I *cannot* wait to delete that account. The last few times I've logged in to check notifications I've seen videos of people getting injured on the main landing page? I don't need this

I feel a little bad about this, but at this point I think the only way to get remotely useful customer service from Xfinity (and maybe others) is to ask the AI bot to cancel your account. Within seconds it gives you a phone number for a human, and then those folks are usually very helpful!

I’m going to be at POPL next week, but only for two days (Wednesday and Thursday)! If you want to make sure we get a chance to chat, ping me here or via email so we can plan a time

Thanks so much to JFP for publishing my dissertation abstract, along with 9 others! This is a really valuable service for the community. Dissertations are a ton of work, and it’s nice to have a way to increase the chance that they’ll be read and used

We're delighted to publish ten PhD abstracts in this round. Topics range from types to tests, from synthesis to software engineering, from datatypes to differentiation. Have a look!

Does anyone have advice around putting ongoing work in job talks? I have some exciting stuff in the pipeline that I'd love to share with folks, but it seems hard to do that without poisoning potential reviewers

Can someone do a psychological study on what Rocq/Lean proofs do to users' brains? I've been doing some Lean proofs lately, and it focuses my attention in a way that almost nothing else does. And if I try to pull myself away in the middle, I find it very hard to context-switch

I know I already posted about Lean once today, but I had to share: apparently new Lean projects automatically have CI set up?? github.com/leanprover/l... Amazing. I know it isn't hard to set up yourself, but I almost never use CI on personal projects because it's just a little too much of a hassle
