25+ years in software engineering, systems programming, and full‑stack web dev. Building emulators, hardware projects, and SaaS tools while running an independent dev shop. Here to share code, architecture deep dives, and the messy reality of shipping real‑world systems.

@ShawnaStaffReal I kind of put the story together. Again, the world is a better place with you in it. I am glad it got worked out.

@_andrewthecoder I actually almost checked out this morning, and my bigger half (security) because of my own non chalantism failed to realize how bad it was until I laid down and quietly said "I need help" by then I was losing consciousness

@aubpascual fair enough. moderation is a good thing.

@_andrewthecoder thank you but when i arrived at work, someone was wearing a red dress so i think it would have been a clash of colors (too much red). so i think it's better to wear blue today

thank goodness i followed my intuition not to wear red today

Hey chat! I am open to work! For hire! Software engineer and web developer with 25 years of experience. If you need tutoring, code, architecture, database design, API design, etc... hit me up! I work cheap (way cheaper than most consultants)

@alexinexxx 6pm Pacific, I assume?

not invited to chatgpt 5.5 party? OpenAI hater? come join us for an alt-party at the Zeitgest for office hours (6pm)

This look right here and what follows is the 'sole' reason my bigger halfs beard is white as fuck

@unclebobmartin James Gosling even once called it an imitation of Java.

I'm struck by the number of complaints about my assertion that C# is derivative of Java. I guess people just don't know the history of the language.

@_winter_wonders also, he is not an evolutionary biologist. his degree is in zoology. and his thesis was on how domestic chick peck different than wild chicks.

It is genuinely very disturbing to me that he always gets mentioned as an evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist instead of an actual pedophile "pedophile thinks Claude is hot girl" isn't as interesting as pretending his opinions are worth consideration?

@GrizzledTexan @RichardDawkins the father of memes has become a meme... kind of poetic.

Hey @RichardDawkins, how's that Claude Delusion going?

@MashaZheglova the father of memes has become a meme. kind of poetic.

Well, that's embarrassing to hear. Disappointing even ☹️

@kritikakodes What? Python is dead simple. I mean, you call the library you want, and everything is already done for you. It is more like a wrapper than a programming language.

Stop lying to beginners about how easy Python is...

@GrizzledTexan @ThePrimeagen Know your enemy.

@_andrewthecoder @ThePrimeagen Why would you punish yourself that way?

@AFpost I have read all of Dick Dawkins' books... this doesn't surprise me. He has always been a star short of a system.

Evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins says that after spending three days interacting with Claude, which he calls “Claudia,” he is certain that it is conscious. After feeding the LLM a segment of his new book and receiving detailed feedback, Dawkins was moved to exclaim,” You may not know you are conscious, but you bloody well are!” Dawkins cites the complexity, fluency, and ‘intelligence’ of Claude’s answers as evidence of consciousness.

@sandislonjsak this is a truth...for a lot of us.

The ugliest code I’ve ever seen was written by me.
