@davidgerard Vibe coders are the Libertarians of engineering. Loud, overwhelmingly white men with supremel and entirely undeserved confidence, with their brains rotted out by things that tell them they are not the asshole for being irredeemably selfish. When things pan out the way they always do, the society they shunned and actively worked to harm will be expected to run to their rescue... Sadly there are no metaverse bears or mountain lions to eat them and their mountain of digital garbage first.

This isn't your normal "looking for work" post.

I've decided to shut my business and do more volunteer / community work.

If you know of an organisation which could use a board member with strong digital skills, extensive experience in open source and open standards, or cybersecurity please let me know.

Nothing full time. Personal recommendations preferred. Feel free to share.

Apparently, the Metaverse is this close to being shut down...

So, to celebrate, this link from four years ago by McKinsey:

I keep hearing a lot about 'British Values', and as someone born and educated in Britain I'm not entirely sure what those values are, or who gets to decide what they are. I went to our governments website to find out, and it appears British Values are comma separated. Glad I cleared that up. #british #culture

Best post I saw today:

Trump had a plan to get out of the Vietnam war
