mastodon 4.7.3
  • Open on messydesk.social

Purveyor of organic, handcrafted slop.

JVM and software performance shenanigans. Formerly: Twitter, Avid, Azul Systems, Danger, Sun Microsystems.

Mostly here for puns and empathy.

Views expressed here are not those of my employer or me and are merely artifacts of Wittgensteinian language games I am playing to lose.

UNIX includes a command to deal with your cat walking on your keyboard. When your cat is coming, you just type "cat" and press enter, and your cat's input won't mess anything up.

The #GitHub CEO is "stepping down" and won't be replaced, and GitHub is becoming part of MSFT's AI division.

So AI took someone's job, and it was a CEO's.

@evacide@hachyderm.io The thing I really want to know about the Meta Ray Bans is: "Will It Blend?" It would be delightful to get the video from the glasses as they're lowered into the Blendtec and see it abruptly cut off as the mechanized whirring starts.

Perhaps the key to overcoming imposter syndrome lies in simply becoming an imposter.

@rodhilton@mastodon.social Them: Let's move Twitter's infrastructure to the cloud. Me: Why? We already have our own infrastructure, and we'll be beholden to the cloud provider. Them: Okay, let's move to *two* cloud providers. Plus, we'll keep some of our own infrastructure. Me: Uh, won't that be really expensive and potentially tank the company? Them: Yes, but it will be hilarious later when the company gets scrapped and the new owner has to scramble to get off of the cloud.
