Today marks 7 months of unemployment and I am very much down to the wire.

I am a full-stack & backend web developer, fluent in TypeScript, with experience building data-focused applications and both SQLite and Postrges databases.

I’m located in the northeast United States and have experience working and successfully collaborating with small, remote teams.

Boosts are appreciated. 🙏

Now that quote posts are a thing on Mastodon, we need an insufferably cutesy nickname for them that everyone hates but still gets used anyway.

To that end I nominate “Quoots”, a portmanteau of ‘quote’ and ‘toot’. I believe it’s the worst possible option, solidly cementing Mastodon in particular and the Fediverse in general as having the worst slang on the internet.

Please quoot to spread the word.

Here's my pitch for a federated bookmark manager and why it can make the indie web stronger.

New view of the world:

'Tokyo-based architect & artist Hajime Narukawa won Japan's prestigious Good Design Award for developing the AuthaGraph World Map, a groundbreaking projection that preserves the true proportions of continents & oceans.

By dividing the globe into 96 triangles, then transferring these to a tetrahedron & unfolding it into a rectangle, the AuthaGraph map eliminates the distortions found in both the Mercator & Dymaxion maps'

"Opinion: Broken Oakland can't be fixed with just a new mayor"

I'm not sure what to think about this, yet.
