So much fun hanging out with rural broadband providers. They do such important work so it was an honor to be asked.

The 2024 #CyberShare Summit is underway in Louisville, Ky. Yesterday kicked off with workshops & a visit to @SluggerMuseum. This morning, participants heard from @bellmar, software engineering expert & author, & participated in a friendly maker space competition.

I’ll worry about AI when AI can pick up a shift on an on call rotation.
Well actually … I won’t worry, I’ll be on a 🏝️ somewhere 😎 But point is tech decisions only matter in the context of operations. If it can’t be maintained, it doesn’t matter how fast/cheap it was to build

I can typically sort meeting information into three buckets: things that are true, things that are false, and things that are true but irrelevant

It’s amazing how often the answer to the question “why didn’t you do it this way” is “because that technology did not exist at the time” 😂😂😂

At big companies you often run into old terrible code that’s still not been fixed and curse the person that wrote them years ago. I’ve done it plenty, I can’t help it. I was once the first engineer at a startup and was there for 14 years. So I’ve been in meetings where a developer was cursing whoever wrote some piece of crap 10yr old code, and it was often…me. Why didn’t you use the factory pattern, why didn’t you document store this instead of using mysql, etc. So sometimes I try extra hard to remember that smart well-intentioned people made the best decisions they could using the information they had at the time. The tradeoffs they made aren't always immediately obvious a decade later. But the fact that the project is still running 10 years later is a testament to…something. Also- this is why you/we were hired; to fix the shit code instead of just complaining about it.

@HeavyPackets Seriously it took me 15 minutes to figure out “coffee” wasn’t the name of some stupid tech thing but actual ☕️☕️☕️ Now I don’t know whether I’m worried or curious….

I was able to bring in mutual information theory and neural networks into a conversation during a coffee workshop today.
This is already leading to real conversations in coffee research and my mind is blown, actually. What a weekend.

My advice: take a job at any company that’s 11 years old 😁😁😁

I’m really interested in a job that involves caring for a ten year old application nobody else wants to touch, because I’m insane 😩

@HeavyPackets Me, I would just like my notifications to be from people actually tweeting at me versus all the algorithmic bullshit

Each time I've opened X in the last few weeks, it's been an overwhelming wave of everything. There are too many problems, debates, and tragedies to understand, let alone react to.
How can we genuinely care about everything we're supposed to care about?
