After several months of umm-ing and ahh-ing, I handed in my notice at work this week.

If anyone knows of a Canadian company looking to hire a remote senior web developer who will NOT be working on LLM-related functionality (or be required to use LLM-based development tools), please point me in their direction. I've got 15 years of experience and love getting my teeth into technical problems.

Boosts most welcome. Thanks! #getfedihired
A drawing from the graphic novel I'm working on. I couldn't get the light and shadows to look right so I cut a hole in a box, made a window frame, and pointed a flashlight at it to see how the light pattern would fall on the wall and floor. #drawing #GraphicNovel

We have a slipper plant on our patio that attracts hummingbirds. KoKo (the world's laziest huntress) likes to lay on her back just inside the patio door gazing up at the birds and letting loose with a desultory mrowf every so often. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

Because then I have a best friend who keeps saying things like "chatGPT said that he didn't think ..."

There is no "he"
There is no "think"
There probably isn't even a "said"

I feel like I'm fighting a multi-front war.

This new tech has not been explained to "the general public" well. This reminds me of the early days of the internet when everyone was so scared of it... only now they aren't scared enough... in the right ways if that makes sense.

Welp ... I was just informed through a Slack DM that I will no longer be working at the place I'm working at in two weeks' time. That is, evidently, how we handle that now. Not entirely unexpected as the writing on the wall was evident, but still not loving that approach for reasons I haven't quite worked out yet.
If anyone needs help with their #accessibility from someone with both native #screenReader experience and a coding background, keep me in mind I guess :)
Located in the eastern Netherlands, primarily interested in remote opportunities.

Note: This science fiction (africanfuturist) novel understands better the foundation of the violence in PARTS OF present-day Nigeria than the dumbass Trump Administration (who just bombed Nigeria, while being ignorant of things).
