The Raccoons remains a beloved Canadian television show 40 years after it debuted.
But the story of The Evergreen Forest and its inhabitants all began with a Christmas Special that aired in 1980.

Software development is about people. Not about tools, ai, agents. Not about code.
The people. Building any software requires collaboration, building any software requires understanding needs of your users.

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.
Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.
Stay safe out there.
