Reminder that if you also regularly get intrusive thoughts like "I'm sorry for being such a shitty person", you shouldn't give it much weight. Broad, unfocused guilt like that doesn't make you a better person, just a hurting one.
Try to take concrete steps to improve youself if you need to, but beyond that? Cut yourself some slack. You're suffering enough.
What's fedi's favorite standard, specification, or any similar, formal or semiformal, widely agreed upon set of rules and procedures?
Mine has to be RFC 2119, I wish every technical spec I had to read or write followed comparably unambiguous wording.
I really dislike "gen" talk. The world is full of assholes and full of lovely people and full of the ignorant, and it always has been, with the categories only correlating to birth year in the minds of folks who are too bubbled-up to get out and discover strangers.
I class the vast majority of statements about gen-this and gen-that and gen-the-other down there with astrology and Kiersey-Bates.
I always love writing small, purpose-made software for very specific needs. Did some side work to generate gcode for an unusual CNC machine, and a few hundred lines of rather stupid but well-aimed code are working better than any of the commercial software they've thrown at the problem.
It feels really nice to be told someone's workflow went from several hours to a few minutes, and it only took a couple days to write it. 
For my first thread on this account about transgender inclusion beyond privileged tech bubbles, a topic dear to my heart:
"Are It/Its pronouns for real? Aren't they dehumanizing?"
Open the thread to hear my perspective, and maybe other people's in the replies. Boost if you think your followers would like to hear this! 🧵👇 (1/10)
