MonViolon c'est du pipeauJe me suis finalement attardé un peu sur mon sifflet-test : je lui ai coupé une… partie pour qu'il soit moins lourd en soirée. Poncé, verni (cochenille) et poli la coupe. Je garde l'idée pour la suite de mon œuvre 🎨 sauvage et musicale : brut / poli.
Et le lilas, c'est joli, j'en reste étonné.
Bref.
J'ai surtout ajouté un trou ⛳ ce qui m'a magiquement fait gagner TROIS notes
J'adore les résonateurs de Helmholtz 🎶
Par contre, ça fait un doigté à la mors-moi-le-sifflet.

My contact at Tech Networks of Boston says that it's been a great place to work.
They're also evidently offering referral bonuses to people who send qualified applicants their way. ($7,500 for a qualified senior engineer, smaller amounts for the more junior positions.)
Job opportunities:
Someone I know through political volunteering works at Tech Networks of Boston (https://techboston.com/about-tnb/mission/), a company that provides IT services to nonprofits, and they are evidently in a big hiring scramble right now for IT people.
Please spread the word!
maya ⛓️my obnoxious new hobby is pointing out old trucks to The Fiance. "see? you see how that one isn't gigantic? you see how you could notice if a kid ran out in front of it? you see how it's clearly been put to use?"
goats normally have twins and sometimes triplets. one time we had a goat give birth to quadruplets. this was worrying: she was a cashmere goat so not bred for milk beyond the needs of two or three kids. astonishingly, another goat who hadn't been bred that year started giving milk. one of the kids still ended up kind of runty but nobody died of starvation.

calcifer 🧯There are a lot of "programming is like..." metaphors that focus on industry. Programming is like a construction project. Programming is like a manufacturing floor.
Those work, as far as they go, when you're trying to have a mental model for how programming produces products in organizations. But it doesn't really capture, in my mind, what programming is like for the individual. And it also kind of excludes a huge number of hobbyist and amateur1 programmers.
Programming is an art and a craft. It's honestly a lot like sewing. Yes, it's often cheaper in the modern world to buy pre-made things -- but it's a valuable skill for everyone to have at some level, even if that level is "I can replace a button". People learn to sew because they want to repair something they love, or made modifications (bam now my skirt has pockets!), or because they find joy in making things, or because they want to make things that don't exist "off the shelf", or...
1: Keep in mind that "amateur" means "one who loves"; it isn't and should never be a criticism
