@AccidentalCISO You...want any help? I have run a couple of one person shops, and am running one now, and can confirm there's some demand. Tools with sales/pricing model like @reporturi are key, and if you've figured out how to right-size some program development, that would be <chef's kiss>.

@0xMatt "BACK IN MY DAY, we had to order our dangerous misinformation in the MAIL."

[Tim Johns @TimJohnsWA]

@kyleshevlin No, but now that I think about it, that (searching for new opportunities on someone else's behalf) actually sounds kind of fun to me -- so I'd bet it's a thing.

[Tim Johns @TimJohnsWA]

@Asst_to_the_RM Missed the video, but I think I still have summary article 15 paperwork from 1990 that says something about that...

@AccidentalCISO @KeithMoum If you really did mean "Urgent Care", and not the ER / hospital ED, I am betting with @KeithMoum. On the other hand, if you went to an actual ER, I'd probably add a zero onto the end of that.

[Tim Johns @TimJohnsWA]

@Suhail Yep. Feels like it's '96 all over again.

[Tim Johns @TimJohnsWA]

@Mapbox Oh heck yeah

[Tim Johns @TimJohnsWA]

@scottleibrand Yes, thanks (if it's still available)

[Tim Johns @TimJohnsWA]

I'm shamelessly out here posting on main to ask for a bluesky invite. I would be most grateful (thank you!).

I apparently rolled a natural 20 on that wisdom check last night, and this is what the code looks like ~30 seconds after imbibing Coffee of Clarity + 1.

How do I know it's time to actually leave at 5pm today?

I just wrote this code, which probably works -- but if I check it in, whoever has to maintain it will hate me.

...and that's quite probably me. So I will refactor this and check it in. TOMORROW.

[Tim Johns @TimJohnsWA]

I...what...peak something?

@calbucci I just ran across this display in Safeway and had to come back her to post it. That this exists at all is crazy enough...but it's also almost completely sold out...

@redteamwrangler @IanColdwater Coincidentally, one of them in a field a couple hundred miles northeast of JB Charleston.

@EODHappyCaptain Wait! I changed my mind. It's the Mark-39 nuclear device still buried in a field in Goldsboro, NC.

@EODHappyCaptain NASA Standard Initiator (NSI)

[Tim Johns @TimJohnsWA]

@calbucci I mean, this tool you proposed might not change the world - but it's also useful, and tremendously easier to build, market, sell and maintain than yet another special-purpose LLM. But guess which one everyone wants to talk about at parties... https://t.co/XCc3wTaOIJ

[Tim Johns @TimJohnsWA]

@calbucci There's value to be created, IMHO, but I agree - there is certainly a lot (I mean a LLLLLOTTTT) of really exhausting and distracting fad to wade through on the way.

@m3ch3l3 @RayRedacted @InfoSecSherpa I am grateful to hear this. I wrote a dialer for the TRS-80 Coco, and uploaded it to GEnie (therefore after Wargames), and I could swear I didn't hear the term wardialing until well after that. Was starting to wonder if it was my memory, naivity of youth, or the Mandela Effect.
