I don’t know how yall can listen to a podcast and keep things straight when programming. My brain is completely ignoring the words 😂😭
Between Canada All-Stars, Down Under and Big Brother, I’m not living for all the eliminations right around each other 😂😭
I watch more and more props come into components and ask “so why are we doing this, shouldn’t we consider refactor it” and then they say “it is out of scope” and I’m like here’s another HOC that has too much logic and effects 😂😭
If I can do something for the bit? Oh yeah it’s happening.
mucho texto i know but i wanted to write a lil thing about how u can treat yourself nice!!
Plus some little vignettes of around the city today. Sometimes I love just seeing the buildings and angles we get 💜
I finally got all my little stuff from this online shop I’ve been eyeing and I’m obsessed with all of the thingsssss
My friend surprised me with a gift from our last hang out where they crocheted a little Mosslax to go with indoor plant corner
A lot of people don’t have to deal with the direct consequence of how the technological landscape changes. Like it is easy to sit on a space of privilege and not see how fucking bad the trenches are. And if you aren’t considering how bad it happens downstream? Consider chatting with people
LOVEEEE that internal tools can look like the absolute pits and no one wants to fix it even with the skills because guess what???? NOT PROMOTABLE WORKKKK hehehe
Ooops I just finished LOL but I’m happy and energized. Got a good session back in connecting some dots I’ve not had to connect in awhile dealing with… react hahaha. Throwing it back to some backend funsies
Prince Wilson@maxcell.bsky.social · 2w agoAll I can say is, I'm doing programming outside of work and wow do I just enough being able to say "yeah that's enough for today"
Setup Plato on the Kobo and gotta tinker a bit on the styling/theming a bit
Another day dealing with code that has just been around and thinking of @chrisbiscardi.bsky.social's www.christopherbiscardi.com/if-you-cant-...
If you can't delete code then you're stuck with it

OK if you wanna see what weird/fun/interesting links I save I made a portion of my site for this. Supports RSS Supports comments via a live chat that looks like an AIM window. You can click the giant button at the top and it'll hide programmer stuff and just show interesting normal things.

Well so far I'm just doing this manually and seeing how it goes hehehe. It is a bit _scary_ to delete photos and putting them on the NAS.
Prince Wilson@maxcell.bsky.social · 2w agoAny self hosted peeps using Immich and transferring photos from an iPhone? Anything to watch out for?

Alright recap, I went to San Diego for friend’s wedding! Watched them do the thing. All I did was be silly and look cute from time to time.
Another little trip down in the books for us! Got to see an Internet friend for the first time IRL AND get married 😭💜

And for good measure, here is the original post from Dr. Emily Bender that I saw on LinkedIn. Apologies, Emily, for not checking if you’d posted it here as well. Her 🧵is an important discussion re: giving LLMs access to the ACM Digital Library.
Emily M. Bender@emilymbender.bsky.social · 3w agoThis is the weirdest request for input that I've seen in a while. It's almost like the ACM is sitting at the table with the "change my mind" sign. So, let's do it. Short thread with the input I gave them:
If you do *any* computing-related research, you should read and complete the feedback form to ACM at the end. "Research influence may increasingly depend not only on citations and downloads, but also on whether ideas are surfaced, synthesized, and operationalized within AI systems."

Went to this lovely coffee shop. And somehow everyone knew y’all. Some for wholesome and some for the crazy stuff y’all doing in the scene. Yall know which you are (or both)
