The tech job market is insane right now! Been keeping my head up, but something has got to give. In the meantime it's nothing but learning new things and building a stronger understanding of older things.

Nier Automata Pearl harbor descent record manga trilogy.

Lately been on a Nier Automata binge. While trying to finish the game this has been good supplemental reading. #anime #manga #nierautomata #yorha

Besides Tello drones, are there any other drones that have a #python sdk or API? #drone

I'm late to the party but the Psycho-Pass series is one of the best animes I've seen in a while. #psychopass #anime

X getting rid of direct messages is a nail in the coffin. #X #twitter

The focus on "deep virtual reality" (not sure that's a real term) in this season of #blackmirror was done really well. #virtualreality

It's crazy how the developer focused magazine market in the U.S. is practically non-existent. #technology

@wsvincent.bsky.social just wanted to say thank you for your Django courses. Definitely helping me skill up and fill in learning potholes I've neglected in my career!

p.s. Update your site with your other social handles besides mastodon 😶‍🌫️ #justsaying

For those of you that have been exploring #ai how have you been showcasing your learnings on your personal website?

Bingeing the show "Silo" and all I can say is....this is really really good. #appletv

When I first started my career as a developer after University programmed in C++ (it's the language I learned in school). Funny enough, I find it harder to use languages such as Typescript because it's hard for me to decondition my brain from traditional Javascript. Anyone else have this problem?

😆 this was a tweet I imported that I probably wrote over 12 years ago.

I just completed "Historian Hysteria" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2024 in Python #AdventOfCode #python adventofcode.com/2024/day/1

Importing all my old tweets (and I mean old) and some of them are cringe 🤣😬😭

Looking forward to importing my data from X/Twitter. I just wish the export didn't take so long.

What am I getting at? I just purchased a used iPad because there are no iOS devices in my home. And yes I am writing it off on my taxes. #androidforlife

Currently, working as a freelance developer has made it apparent that it is necessary to have devices that cover most of the bases when it comes to QA since I can't rely on a dedicated QA department.

Taking a break from a screen to meditate with some Lego bricks. #lego #sportscar

Are people still doing things with #web3? Feels like such a niche thing now that the hype has died down.

I believe the build process in which we were generating pages was a potential vulnerability. Many languages being statically generated over many pages is a memory hog and can waste resources.

Apple should make the Safari browser cross platform 🙄

Using my own domain as my #bluesky handle feels like a cohesive brand identity strategy.

Reddit recap card that displays a custom avatar and a list of three subreddits.

Shout out to Reddit for the analytics. I can't imagine what kind of data aggregation system they have in place. #datascience #reddit

Today I learned that the accessibility features on mobile devices (specifically Google's Pixel devices) are tedious and anything but accessible. #development #accessibility #a11y

Anyone else taking on "Advent of Code" this year?

Office for the next couple of hours. #digitalnomad

Any chance there's a backup in a repo somewhere? Git?

Wrapping up a #Django / Wagtail project in the next week and I'm all in my feelings. Funny enough, the project started out in #NextJS but a security audit deemed it insecure. So, we had to start over midway through and we're still on track to deliver on time.

You'd be surprised how many Google projects still use it.
