The CEO of Telegram Pavel Durov seems to be a troll and dick. He boasts about all the sperm he donated and made a tweet making fun of French President Macron being gay. So, toxic masculinity and homophobic. Please don’t use #Telegram

i have no words. some of my friends voted for trump. they said the trans thing wasn’t what he was about. they said citizens would be safe from ice. i don’t know if they still support him or if they lied to me, to themselves, or maybe they moved the goalposts. right now, i don’t care.

ive no idea if this is generalisable. but im on the left and i don’t even like most figures on the left. why? because what’s the right thing to do isn’t always clear and we disagree. people say this is the weakness of the left- but what? it seems like the most natural thing. we aren’t a hive mind.

its the people who stand to gain the most that post stuff about how AI is the future and you're a scrub for not using it to wipe your butt. still, good chance you're a scrub but not because you're not using AI.

The CFP season is open. I've submitted to ElixirConf EU already. I have the one for Code BEAM Stockholm in my inbox. What would people like to hear. I can always come up with something but I'm curious if there are parts of things that I do that are more interesting to people.

i call do-over on the web. the fact that it’s nearly impossible to create a web browser from scratch is a sign we’ve taken a wrong turn somewhere.

You may have read that Frédéric Péchier was sentenced to life in prison for killing his patients. Dude was involved in 70 serious adverse events, they figured this out AFTER starting to investigate him. Here's my problem, why did it take a colleague to report him?

this really really surprised me. there are times when i don't drive for a year and get back on the road -- i don't freak out. im a bit baffled.
it also scares me to think how AI is doing the same thing for coding.
