okay which company wants to partner up and bring back Leet Heat for Season 2? @marktechson.com and I have a bunch of ideas to make the game better: faster, funnier, and spicier!

hit me up and let's make this happen! (repost/share with your favorite tech companies for reach, please?)
My current state:

const newLeetHeatEpisodes = [ ];
while( newLeetHeatEpisodes.length === 0 ) { cry(); }

@jason.energy pls fix this bug 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Once upon a time, I wrote shitty prompts. I cried and cried because the LLM would not do my bidding. Then I learned how to write better prompts (and choose better LLMs), and all was well with the world. Learn from my mistakes so you don't have to suffer!

If you’re from an underrepresented group in tech and want to be in the room or know someone who should be DM me!

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

You can now read about projects that were interrupted when 18F was disbanded.

One of them was with the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), which ensures military service members and Americans overseas are able to vote, and that their votes are counted.

The majority of us on here are here because the ugly divisive end state of perpetual disruption made us want something different. But wanting it and being it are two different challenges. And one requires a lot of emotional discipline.

Any devs that want to play with the ATPROTO / bluesky API, I did a bunch of experiments last year:

github.com/wesbos/blue-...

A cli tool, a reply bot, a top users scraper (though that was when this place had 30k users, not 13 million)

I made a starter pack of people who are underrepresented in tech. If you'd like to diversify your feed, you can "Follow all" or add them individually

I'm only adding those who have asked. If you are from an underrepresented group in tech and would like to included, let me know!
