I help software developers secure their work supporting research and higher education.

Here you may find my occasional blog posts with DevOps recipes or example code in obscure programming languages.

Check out my other Mastodon for silly sketches and art generated using code.

Today we're sending the first black person & the first woman to the moon.

But I know that Dr. Mae Jemison was the first black woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992.

Also, Jemison became the first real-life astronaut to appear on #StarTrek
Here's Jemison as Lt. Palmer in #StarTrekTNG episode Second Chances talking to Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek's Lt. Uhura, outside the set.

The ai pull requests on public repos these days are mind numbing. Do your best to protect yourself from burnout open source devs. Yikes.

Went to search just now, and look what's happened. ♥️ #kagi

While my work life is full of conversations about #ai and #quantumcomputing I am streamlining my weekends with #chatops

Meet Cadbury, and versatile personal assistant for #Matrix.

Oddly, it is 100% free of AI.

But I will probably add a tiny language model to make the commands more accessible, at some point.

If you use it and enjoy it, let me know, and I might maintain it for longer.

There's a belief that if you can't see the exact path forward, that no path is possible, and that's just not accurate and not how the world has ever worked. The way forward is almost never known in detail. But getting the compass heading right matters a lot.
The less someone understands about a job, the more they think it can be replaced by AI

If you're #trans and feeling lonely, repost this.

If you are an ally and care about trans people, repost this.

You may be feeling lonely. But, you're not alone.

One of the delights of working in Higher Education is rubbing shoulders with brilliant researchers.

Today was a long day, but I'm fortunate to only work late when a particularly interesting problem is being solved.

I'll share more with y'all when my peers go public with the very cool things they are up to.

I, a programmer, am not afraid of #vibecoding because I'm afraid a chatbot will take my job. I'm afraid of vibe coding for the same reason that a licensed electrician who moonlights as a firefighter is afraid of homeowners who do their own electrical work.
