Brad Gateway of the 502 Errors"All violent crimes are committed by mentally ill people, because a mentally healthy person wouldn't do that" says my best friend from high school on Facebook and I turn and silently walk into the sea.
About to start as a senior at a company that does something that seems... at least morally neutral? Which is as much as I hope for from tech jobs, really. We do data analysis on the job market and alumni networks so college career counselors have actual facts to back up their advice.
Feels more "real" at least. And universities are good clients to have with a looming tech recession. Way rather be here than in yet another SaaS or PaaS startup.
Tomorrow is my last day working at a truly incompetent and pointless company for incompetent and pointless clients. We just exist to drink the milkshake of wannabe "founders" with terrible ideas and turn them into underbudgeted shitty apps.
Morally, I'm fine with it, it's just dumb rich people wasting $ and it was a really good place to build out my skillset, I basically got to do whatever I wanted, but I started to believe I wasn't a "real" dev and could only work somewhere kind of shady.
It's so charming and quaint that we still label songs and albums that have cuss words in them.
Like, little kids have uncensored access to the whole ass internet and everything on it. That fight got lost sooo long ago. But we're still going to put a little icon next to a song where someone sings the word "fuck."

Government websites are all one of two types. Either they’re a dumpster fire that people are forced to use or they offer information extremely well but no one ever goes to them
I got ChatGPT to write a shitty little game. It took like 25 careful baby-step prompts in sequence and a lot of testing on my part, so it wasn't any faster than doing it myself, but still, it's kind of neat right?
That's about my opinion on ChatGPT's coding ability. It's very obviously not what some people are hyperventilating, but if you step away from the discourse, it does meet the threshold of "it's kind of neat, right?"
recursive 🏳️🌈As a programming languages nerd, a conversation last weekend with @renice really reinforced an opinion I've had for a while now:
I really despise it when we speak of language design or choice of language for a project/organization in terms of "most engineers aren't smart enough to ..." What we should be emphasizing is ergonomics and accessibility: "it's easier for humans who are fatigued and imperfect to write reliable code when ..."
