He/him, 30 something, queer friendly.

PHP Software Engineer / Product person. Voted remain. Tax the rich. Pineapple on pizza is fine. Well done steak should be a crime.

Seems like a good day to repost this.

"But Lana you can't possibly think that all MAGAs are bad people."

Yes I fucking can. If you're currently on the side that's having a fun little giggle amongst themselves about committing a racist genocide 10 times bigger than the actual Nazi Holocaust you ARE a bad person and I don't think that's a particularly crazy hot take actually.

As expected, MPs have this evening voted to proscribe Palestine Action, with only 26 MPs voting against this attack on the democratic right to protest.

The state has reserved to itself the power to decide what is 'legitimate' protest & render other (non-violent) protests as 'terrorism'.

This is a grave day from democracy & the right to protest;

normally I don't like talk of a 'slippery slope' or 'a thin end of a wedge' but this feels like a step change in the attack on protest!

Nice to see Stop Killing Games has had a healthy boost of momentum with Youtubers picking it up recently to spread the word.
Went from in the 500k's to 850k in I think about a week?
Need 150k more by the end of the month then we could have some really interesting regulation shifts in video games in a few years.

Stop Killing Games

It is now my job to first interrogate requirements for AI errors and to double check what is written is what the “author” meant.

Before I then start my actual job and interrogate the requirements for validity.

So much time saved.

"My client is looking for world-class talent with mastery in X.

They are offering <insert very middle of the road salary here>"

the fact that the Internet Archive got into bigger trouble for lending books they paid for than Facebook did for reproducing books they pirated tells you everything you need to know about copyright.

"People who use AI at work feel that they're more productive" is an argument I've been seeing in various forms lately, which, as a recommendation, is not far removed from "people on cocaine at parties feel that they're more interesting."
I guess for me if your model for improving "developer experience" does not take seriously the social constructs around human ability that will forever limit who we let into "software" if we don't face them, well, I can't take your model seriously. It won't solve problems it'll just move them
