Hey everyone, so my time with Vantage comes to an end at the end of this month. I feel so lucky to have worked on the stuff I did. I am looking for full time work. If anyone knows anyone, my DMs are open. People at Vantage are able to vouch for me and the services/experiences I can produce.

Tempted to write a discord bot or web embed or something to track rock climbing for a specific user, probably too niche for many to care but I do!

Disgraceful. Jewish people are not the problem, don’t conflate them with Israel.

@amasad @DanBurmawy FWIW the last time pride was on here, my Jewish friend was deeply hurt by what the pro Israel protestors were saying, trying to tie his religion to critique of the state. This sort of thing hurts Jewish people that just want good safe lives the same as everyone else.

@amasad @DanBurmawy I really hate this whole “oh you criticise Israel so you must hate Jewish people” shit. Israel has obligations under international law, calling them out is not antisemitism. On the other hand, there’s a ton of antisemitism to justify that Israel is all Jewish people.

No, bro. You are a billionaire because the descendants of the Jews and Christians who built the greatest civilization ever to exist, on the basis of biblical values, offered you, and the rest of the world, the catalyst to excel. Yet instead of being thankful and realizing that your culture and ideology have only brought destruction to the world, you try to smuggle that worldview using the lexicon of the West. Subhan Allah, a Muslim who hates Israel just because Israel is a destabilizing force, not because he is simply a Muslim commanded by Allah to hate the Jews and to await the day of annihilating them, when they will hide behind trees and stones, and the trees and stones will call out, “O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.”

Lmfaoooo

Trump: I am signing an executive order to murder puppies MAGA:

planning = figuring out how I'm going to get out this country, obviously most of that can't be planned

(obviously this is in a decade plus for me, but planning starts now bc I don't want to fall in love in the UK unless its to someone that wants to gtfo else I'll just break their heart)

Realising I can be a good mum one day and move to a country that respects me has lowkey gave my life so much more value in my head

I believe free tiers need to happen with a good clear warning signal if you're about to go over, but overall, I do believe there is a long term return here. HOWEVER, I do also think its unreasonable for anyone to be mad at B2B rates too. I think both can co-exist, and there's tradeoffs to having free tiers for sure

Fuck deleted my post without copying it to edit it. I don't know. The way I see it is its the same as people who crack Adobe products when they are in school, I believe Adobe are not likely to go after that because there's a future return on people using the service from that small use.

free tier is cancer and should never have existed in the first place

I can’t believe I am delayed in interview planning because of a fucking firmware bug in a washing machine

hey @GlassdoorUK, you seem to be having i18n problems!

@amasad Thank you for being one of the few tech CEO’s on the right side of history with this 🙏

This was so controversial to say last year. Now it’s basically a fact—they’re adding to the Python stdlib.

Apart from letting America use our bases at all. That was bad.

Ok look I detest Keir Starmer but the stance on Iran is the correct one by him. When he talks about principles, there is none, this is self-preservation (he saw what happened to Tony Blair), but it has lead to the correct decision.

saw the salary and my first thought was "omg I can actually afford surgery 🥹", that's what a dysfunctional healthcare system does to you

Got my first senior software engineer interview tomorrow! Quite anxious but I think I'll do okay!

So tired of living in a transphobic shithole of a country
