You know me for my public #rustlang work, but I'm also freelancing as a programmer and consultant.

I'm looking for a new customer and I'd welcome short or part-time missions. RT appreciated.

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

Hi! 👋

I’m Kat. I’ve been a professional dev for over 15 years. I maintained the NPM CLI for 5 of those. I sat in TC39. I work at Microsoft. I’m self taught w/a film degree and no formal CS edu.

Are you new to tech? What do you wish you could ask some1 like me?

Literally AMA
I wonder if early-in-career folks would appreciate folks like me doing little AMAs on here.

To all 19-23-year-old ambitious programmers: please understand this is not about your intelligence or abilities so much as (a) the literal god damned US treasury (b) their supervisor / boss / role model being Extremely Unhinged and giving Very Bad And Illegal Instructions to people who won't refuse.

Hi Bluesky peeps. A pattern I’m trying to recreate from other networks: “private likes”: saving things I found interesting for later reference and searching. Anyone have recommendations for doing that with Bluesky Skeets? (Happy to use additionally tools, if needed, trying to avoid writing one.)
