Anyway going to try and focus on what’s in my control. We deserve meaningful investments in transit and active transportation. Young people should be able to ride the bus for free. Kids should be able to safely get to school outside of a car. Multiuse paths should be abundant.

It says lot that despite everything, I can open @bsky.app, and scroll through folks exchanging sword photos with @jay.bsky.team.

My feed feels representative of the people I follow. As I expect it to be. Thank you.

How often is #JS do/while loop syntax included in PRs nowadays?

How often is it requested to be changed vs celebrated?

Why do we name functions ‘main’ in #javascript?

Is this a force of habit from C? Did C use it because of B?

Have programmers passed down runic incantations without second thought, because it “feels right” or “I wanted my PR approved”? (Me)

Will someone please ask Ken Thompson?

In an effort to keep myself accountable (and create community) I created an in person “Computer Science Club” on meetup thinking I would delete it after the 7 day trial.

3 people signed up today.

I suddenly feel held to account.

Yes. This experiment will work if you make it your own. Customize your experience, build new ones, make a social network that can be controlled by the people who use it an idea we do not go back on.
The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Is it real or is it ADHD, a thread: Do I learn rust?

Realizing I default to lurking on most social media cause posting makes me feel vulnerable. Feeling inspired to engage here but wondering if I’ll fall into the same pattern. Just gotta post updates and scream into the ether.

Here’s a photo I took a photo of the #grandtetons.
