Most arguments against DEI are underpinned by the false dichotomy that meritocracy is the ONLY alternative. Did they conveniently forget about nepotism? What about the boys club? And good old fashioned “cultural fit”? Meritocracy is not what we had before, nor is it what they want now.

We hear a lot of talk about how expensive job seeker is, helping people at the bottom of the wealth distribution stay out of being homeless. Meanwhile tax concessions for Aus wealthiest people rivals it. #auspol @grogsgamut.bsky.social

Unexpected lesson of Pomodoro: avoiding distraction is as much about preparation before a task, as it is about discipline during.

Delayed for 35 minutes on the tarmac because a printer is broken. Who puts “print document” on the critical path of a highly schedule-dependent workflow? 🙃

“Maybe any entity significantly smarter than a human being would be crippled by existential despair, or spend all its time in Buddha-like contemplation. Or ... become obsessed with the risk of hyperintelligence, and spend all its time blogging about that.” https://flip.it/MddBeX
Robots are animals, not humans
Humans have worked alongside animals for centuries. So why are we so obsessed with comparing robots to ourselves?

Pro tip: If your feedback form requires me to rate a specific individual within your organisation poorly, you won't be getting any feedback from me at all. I'm more than happy to rate products and services, but I'm not your HR department.

Sure, “break considered evil”, but I promise you this thing I just did to try and avoid it is much worse #programming #fail #3decadesofexperience

Accidentally started typing a line of Java with caps lock on and it got me all nostalgic for BASIC #retroprogramming

Found this little chic while walking the dogs, obviously fallen from a nest. Parents were nearby and very “swoopy” - a good sign that intervention might not be necessary. It is quite young though, more nestling than fledgling, so I check back on it in an hour. #homeless #chic

What if you see the glass as "half full", but it's actually completely full?

On Windows it's a "virus scanner", on Mac OS it's just a "Metasploit installation verification system".

Ahh, I just figured out why a comma trailing the last element of a list is a good thing - version control! 🧐 #olddog #newtricks

Hi @darwindeez, I’m curious is your Twitter tagline a reference to Jason Molina or is it just a mad coincidence that you are two of my favorite artists who happen to be connected by four homophonous syllables?

After 2 decades of software development I've only just realised that writing code comments is basically programming the programmers.
