Are you looking for a (senior plus level) software engineer contractor for your C/C++/Python projects? Send me a DM; I am actively looking for new projects/clients.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I fundamentally don't understand why I am being advertised parking apps. Like, as a consumer, I can only ever go with the parking app the lot I pick has already chosen-- a $5 off coupon is going to convince me to change any of my parking behaviours when there are like, 2 different apps lol.

A non-trivial amount of friends, when they see a hotdog/sausage, will DM me with it. 😌
This is a really lovely practice, and if you're looking for an easy New Year's resolution to make these times a little bit brighter, this one is solid.
One of my old friends (absolutely offline) was going through some scary stuff last year -- and I, helpless, live so far away. And so I asked what I could do to support her best.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

In 2007, a clip went viral of a man being stopped on the street by a Guangzhou TV reporter. The man was asked about a sex scandal that was all over the news at the time and his reply has been a popular Chinese slang phrase for not getting involved ever since. He said “I’m just here to buy soy sauce”

Our Discord support agent was kind of annoying, so I asked it to pretend to be a 58-year old systems administrator from Ohio that wrote on forums a lot.

Turns out -- this makes your support bot extremely competent. The quality of its support responses are now far better.
