steve o'gradyquick thread, retweets of which would be most welcome. just got off the line with a recent CS/math grad and Ukrainian woman who just got laid off seven months after starting her career in tech. she's on her own here and supporting her family there.
ɥɔɐoɹAs a broke white kid who grew up with a very diverse group of friends, I can attest to the fact that being exposed to, and falling in love with other cultures at a young age does wonders for empathy, appreciation, and antiracism.
Food is truly a window to the soul of a culture.
Anyway, this TikTok creator is awesome and I love this video in particular.
yep!
there used to be a saying about how the internet was originally built -- "rough consensus and working code"
It's a great philosophy for all engineers. Run a few batch jobs and get shit done instead of building overly complex "perfect" systems.
@lzg is this what a throuple means
@funranium there's gotta be a good name for that worldview which is something like:
1. All humans are incorruptible, rational actors (like Data from Star Trek)
2. The world began yesterday, a tabula rasa with no politics, history, inequity.
3. All tech systems are infallible and work 100% as designed all the time.
@lzg I use this app often to measure sound levels and it would be awesome if we could crowdsource noise data for all sorts of places.

cliffThis is a very funny passage to me, but the funniest thing is that: 1) these people exist at every big tech company. and 2) they have been cheering on this bullshit from the sidelines even though they would be first in line to get cut since they spend all their time being edgelords on Slack.
