@theropologist Hey! I'm curious -- I'm thinking of leaving managing my own instance behind and moving to a public instance. I like the beige.party vibe but also I seriouspost and techpost in addition to shitposting. Would I still fit in or should I look for a different instance?
A while back I deleted basically all cached profile headers on my server to save space. This didn't cause any issue until I started using elk.zone, which shows them in follow notifications.
@jdecked For sure, agreed! I think even Square, which I liked a lot, has a pretty meh interview process compared to the ones I listed. I'm pretty sure I did an onsite for pre-Musk Twitter in 2019 but I don't really remember what their process was, which probably means it was pretty leetcode-y as well.
@jdecked Some companies do more real-world programming questions vs leetcode riddles. Companies whose interview process I preferred include Stripe, PagerDuty and Amplitude.
Got the Kobo Libra 2 during work today. Messed around with it briefly and it gives the impression of being far and away superior to the Kindle Paperwhite. Page turns are fast and done by button, and the interface is clean and snappy.
The new Mastodon desktop browser client Elk.zone is pretty great. I just had to bump the tiny fonts up slightly but I'm really liking the clean Twitter-in-its-design-heyday-back-when-Doug-Bowman-still-worked-there-let's-call-it-2014ish looks
Just got into work after the holidays. Can anyone remind me what programmers do?

just quote-tooting this

the reason is that the Treehouse quote-posting patch (present on this server) is simple, easy and works

and is compatible with the Akkoma and Misskey quote-posting functionality, because the fediverse is bigger than website boy

and people have started asking their Mastodon admins to add the patch
