I don't know who needs to hear this, but if your kitchen does not have a proper extraction hood you're doing it wrong. Especially if you cook on gas.
Because if you have one of those re-circulation hoods, you're keeping all the moisture from cooking inside, and are you really replacing that filter?

Today I found out OpenAI API credits expire... great, and the minimum to up the credit is $5.
For a quick test that's not worth $5 to me

Ten years ago today, @nytimes.com broke the story about my ten-year, 13-book, multi-million dollar contract with Tor Books. Today I look back on the contract, how it's going for us, why it isn't actually done yet, and where things go from here (and for how long):

About That Deal, Ten Years On
Ten years ago today, the New York Times published the story about me getting a 10-year, 13-book contract with Tor Books, along with $3.4 million advance. And as it is, in fact, the tenth anniversar…

Anyone else notice no one can keep appointments lately? At least half the appointments I make get rescheduled. No matter if it's a job application or something personal, it's all across the board

Thanks @alltrails.bsky.social for recommending a trail "nearby". Yes I know I live in the Netherlands, and yes I know Saba is in the Netherlands technically... but it sure as hell isn't nearby. #alltrails

Been job hunting for months, and ghosting is way more common than before. Why? Ignoring candidates only hurts your reputation. If you reject me (with feedback), I might refer someone else. Ghost me? I won’t. Just send a response. It’s not hard. Don’t ghost! It’s rude and bad for business.

Sadly still looking for a Developer Advocate or similar in Developer Relations or Technical Support, let me know if you know of a position!
I've been laid off...
Yep, it happened to me, due to factors outside my control, I am looking for a new job. Preferably in #DevRel or Engineering Manager role, but as I am a seasoned #JavaSript developer, also looking for #NodeJS positions.
Any tips/reposts welcome!

Nothing makes me happier in an application process than when the take home test specifies they really value my time, and time-box it to a very reasonable amount of time. When the thought process and structure matter more than the end result, you know they're doing their interviews well.

This was my shortest month ever on #AdventOfCode. But for good reason, my focus was drawn to #factorio. Can’t get enough of the new DLC. And of course… working on another project on the side. Can’t split myself too many times sadly.

Asked ChatGPT to help my find a typo, and its second response is a little too human. The new o1 model in practice I guess

Hi all new followers! This really incentivizes me to actually start using social media again.
In the coming months you’ll see me posting about jobhunting, #JavaScript, coffee and games. Right now knee-deep into #factorio.
What about you?

Looks like we’re passing the peak with #AI now. Couldn’t be more happy with that as it’s probably going to actually get more useful and less hyped soon.
