Pinned
well it wasn't the last year anymore and I did get a job last december so I guess I should pin this instead
Hi, I'm metame(eee). Most people online just call me meta.

A few things I live streamed in the last year:
* 12 languages in 4 weeks (from C to Idris)
* Rust Data Structures & Algorithms
* Building MVCC in OCaml

I've had a Clojure job for the last 5 years and am currently looking for my next gig!

decided to give it a chore task today while I worked on something else... people seem to say it's about as good as a "junior dev" and I'd say more like an intern so far. Finds one line not working, changes 20 lines around it to fix the problem when it could just have changed the 1 line.
finally trying out claudecode cli after prodding from work (and a paid-for account). I've sparingly used cursor but not cli (also a paid-for account). My first impressions (literally day 1) is that at least the workflow is a lot more natural & I like that it's separate from my editor.

i guess rustic hasn't been updated in over 2 years... hmmm... maybe I should go back to rust-mode. I *think* I made the switch in order to use eglot before (but I could be misremembering)

am I crazy or does this mean the majority of CPU time is spent on child processes duping then releasing the parent's heap?

the level of trust my workplace has for AI tools is pretty astounding. Outside of coding tools, we have AI enabled in slack, google meet, atlassian, probably other things I don't know about.

Got to see the first episode in theaters at the @crunchyroll.com Sneak Peak last month. It was an interesting premise.
Heroism—a punishment for only the worst criminals. Forced to fight on the front lines against roving armies of violent beasts with no rest, even upon death.

Enter the battlefield with the new anime adaptation, only on @Crunchyroll.com!

one of the long-term benefits of spending ~1 year streaming is my habit of using my IEMs powered with a pre-amp - really nice sound quality all day long (and physical volume control)

this is basically just like most valley startup founders
The Failure of “America’s Greatest Otaku” - Megan D. examines TOKYOPOP's ill-fated attempt to create a reality TV series geared toward anime fans. She examines the series from the top down, from baffling production choices, to ill-advised locations, set against the backdrop of an industry crash.

Tokyopop’s situation was still precarious after a round of layoffs in 2008, but company founder and CEO Stu Levy was certain he could turn things around.
