I could really use your help looking for Senior++ Technical Writer roles or intermediate++ Developer Relations roles. I'm looking to stay in Germany.

I'm also considering building up a freelance pipeline but realistically full time work makes my visa situation way easier.

Please RT for reach 🙇‍♀️

Listen. There is not a site, app, etc. upon this earth in which I am going to sit here and do dice math 6 times to get access to

Me: *Asks AI what to do for minor burns*

AI: Remove hand from flame or hot surface

Me: Fuck, are people this dumb or is the AI this dumb.

And this is why I’ve got a box of about every hard drive I’ve ever owned sitting in my basement.

All I wanted to do was fix a lint and now I'm here an hour later learning about math theorems.

Update - we did it! At least for another year. Thanks to my team and division for helping osuosl.org/blog/

Absolutely.

And I cannot stress this enough.

The. Fuck. Not.

Very very sunburnt. But today was a good day.

I want to believe this is some elaborate scheme of instrumental records that will blend together and finally come

German is the best.

My daughter is doing German Duolingo because she knows I studied a good bit of it in school (I’m rusty now, no pop quizzes) and she always asks what my favorite word is. I always fall back to sicherheitsmaßnahmen. But this may be a new runner-up.

At first I thought to myself: “nah, Jacob’s on his own with this one”. And then I saw that map. And now I’m in.

I didn’t break it! But yeah, it’s busted. Seems like the teams are working on it though.

Any friends at Microsoft able to point me to any announcement as to why VSCode live share seems to just be returning 500 responses for the past day or so?

Haven’t seen anything about it, but plenty of GH issues seem like it’s not a user error this time 😬

I really gotta stop buying all these domains.

There must be a wild amount of peace for those who run systems that you HAVE to deal with versus those you want to deal with.

I’m looking at you local tax filing website. Whose answer to we have a lot of traffic is basically: get fucked, hope you know how to file the paper forms.

I’ve mentioned before here how much I love libraries and Libby. I was very worried when I saw the administration going after the IMLS.

So I took my daughter to see the Minecraft movie tonight.And I’ve gotta imagine this thing is just gonna be rolling in the money.

When I say I can’t remember the last time I’ve been to a movie with that kind of reaction and interaction. Shit was wild.

Definitely a good end to this particular week.

Hello home shoppers out there. Let me just save you some heartache. You might think you want an old house with all that charm. But you don’t.

Seriously.

You don’t want it. You’ll be buying a house made out of Swiss cheese and will be constantly at war with things that also want to live there.
