If you tolerate intolerance,the result is more intolerance. Police tolerated this illegal protest while it was still small. They know find themselves facing an illegal protest too big for them to control.

Cryptocurrencies are a scourge on the planet. Even if every alleged benefit they provide is fully realised, it is still not worth the cost.

Some statistics to start the year:

During 2021 Bitcoin consumed 134 TWh in total, which is comparable to the electrical energy consumed by a country like Argentina.

Related CO2 emissions were ~64 Mt; enough to negate the entire global net savings from deploying EVs.

Stop fetishising University degrees. They aren't the only path to success! We're short on trades, want to code? Do a boot camp! Doctor? Lawyer? Sure get a degree. But most roles don't need them. It's not the only path to success.

It’s a scary but essential truth to realise that normal software engineers like us are an integral part of society’s immune system against the enormous moral hazard of technology-hyped asset bubbles metastasizing into systemic risk.

Published quick article on potential new HTTP method: QUERY. It's a useful way of clarifying intent with a semantically better (for some value of better) verb. Check out the original here: https://t.co/PKfDxZRqpo and the less pretty LinkedIn version here: https://t.co/4fmzdQY3lU
