I've moved from https://toot.cafe/@jyasskin to https://hachyderm.io/@jyasskin, so here's an #introduction for my new account.

I work on #WebStandards for #Chrome, and to push my company to do better, I'm a member of the #AlphabetWorkersUnion. If you work at Alphabet, you should join too!

I love programming, but I don't get to do it much anymore. I was on the ISO C++ committee, but now I prefer #Rust for big projects and #TypeScript for small because #MemorySafety is important!

I live in Portland, OR, USA with my partner and 2 kids. I met my partner #SwingDancing and #BluesDancing, and I'm hoping to get back to those as the pandemic eases up.

We need denser buildings to free people from driving, #LandTaxes and #WealthTaxes to focus resources on people and projects that need it, and #SystemsThinking to make lasting changes. #TipYourServer to help with that last one.

I'm looking forward to following interesting people here.
