@SpotifyCares I guess Spotify thinks my Basic Family plan has ads now? This is clearly a mistake, what is the best way to report this? I didn't pay for ads.

@SenJohnCurtis This could have been a step in the right direction, my guy x.com/KSLcom/status/…

@SenJohnCurtis I'll hold you to it. With today's news, I don't know what's possible anymore 😫

Strengthening our partnership with Denmark and Greenland and working with our allies to secure the Arctic is in America’s national interest. Military force is not appropriate, not necessary, and not something I will support. Full stop.

Sometimes people ask why hackathons have such amazing things that don’t show up during the normal work prioritization. And why of those hackathon projects, many great ideas still never get to prod. It’s because…coding was not the bottleneck.

Competent people either want total authority, or for other highly competent people to have total authority. Any situation where that falls apart will make them absolutely freak out.

Important to note that if a federal agent wants to kill you, that's basically between them and their conscience. You can't sue. The state can't prosecute. And these feds won't prosecute.

Welcome back to work everyone. Now go fix your stuff. Seems like every other site/service I've tried to use today is having issues.

while my friends played starcraft, i studied the compiler. and now you come to me ... wait hold on your saying niche computer knowledge is commoditized now and what matters is coordinating a bunch of agents with lots of quick task switching and high APM

@djsmith42 What a time to be mostly alive

Think about people with 10 years of professional work experience today. They have all spent 50% of their work life in a post covid work environment.

Finally shipped something I've been working on - TagLibSharp2 v0.1.0 I wanted a modern, MIT-licensed .NET library for audio metadata, so I built one to replace the original TagLib#. Starting with MP3, FLAC, and Ogg - my goal is to match TagLib# format support and grow from there. It's early and I'd love your feedback - what formats or features matter most to you? Repo: github.com/decriptor/TagL… NuGet: nuget.org/packages/TagLi…

Quick test: are you seeing this on your For You tab, or your Following tab?

@RobertGehrke "It's the most wonderful time of the year" by Andy Williams. Lots of nostalgia wrapped up in that and the whole album it comes from.

Alright. We all Christmas a little differently. Give me your favorite Christmas song. Mariah Carey and Paul McCartney will be blocked.

One of the best things you can get from a new hire is perspective. I remember when we were transitioning to 24/7 oncall, some people were really freaking out. We hired someone from Amazon and they were like are you fucking kidding me? The oncall rotation here compared to Amazon is like being the sultan of Brunei. We hired someone from an AI 996 startup. People were chatting about having too much going on. The person’s jaw hit the floor. Fellas, their face said, this is picnic in Hyde park with tea and cucumber sandwiches compared to where I came from. And similarly, we’ve had people come in and say how unbelievably fucked our CI is. And they were right. Just viscerally knowing how things are elsewhere can be such an uplevel to perspective.

@themormonr Peak comedy

Even my to-do app had one... 😐 #Memes #YearEnd

At least 2-ply, and tunes to cover the... noises. Give me a bidet as well and I'm there!

it’s kind of insane github is gonna make you pay for running your own CICD elsewhere

Working with a truly high quality, high velocity product & engineering organization early in your career ruins your expectations forever.

@Round_E You can't escape it. youtube.com/shorts/bgV1gde…

For someone who despises Christmas, walking into stores is painful right now. The worst music
