Dad. Husband. Chicago native.

Literally "full-stack" since the "webmaster" days

Devops, sysadmin, backend / frontend engineer, databases, whatever. Professionally, since 1999

There is nothing as disappointing as seeing the actual shitty little mirrors on the disco ball.

Eventually, instead of captcha we'll have some sort of turing test on sign-up forms.

The proper spelling for "damnit" is "damnit". Any other spelling is incorrect.

Also the quotes should end before the punctuation almost every time.

System design interviews are so fucking pretentious.

Nobody plans a system in any way that resembles this asinine conversation with a complete stranger.

This is why gpt hallucinates. Because they scraped the braindumps of idiots who think this interview is actually useful to anyone anywhere ever.

We used to buy antennae on the DL and create pirate radio stations. And now we just podcast and lament the days when the radio waves belonged to the people. They didn't. We were wrong. In an ideal world we would take them back.

It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle.

We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.

It's time to #FreeJavaScript.

I feel like half of programming is remembering how weird stuff works and the other half is setting things up so that you do not have to remember the weird stuff

If you have the option, I don't know why you wouldn't vote by mail. When I moved to Seattle, we didn't even have to sign up for it. They just sent us our ballots.
