Makes confused faces while coding; sometimes @RoaveTeam pays me, other times for free. Tech stuff, politics, (attempts at) humor. he/him

Honestly, I get more engagement about PHP, the subject I tweet about, with the PHP Community Mastodon. So, that's where I'll be posting my microblogging content in the future.

👋 Bye Twitter, it was good while it lasted. Sorry you turned into shit.

[Charles @charlesspray]

I got my Twitter archive downloaded so this is gonna be my last tweet. Will likely be looking at deactivating my account but I'm not sure I'll be going that far.

Twitter has been only social media I've consistently used.

[Charles @charlesspray]

It is a shame too. Had some genuinely positive interactions on the site. Hell, I only have my dream job of trolling Roave team members because of Twitter!

Elon's enshitification of the service has been about what I expected.

@motherboard I wonder if we're gonna see a small spike in google searches for "turgid penis" from West Virginia because of this bill.

@tinkertim Right? It feels like we're on Day 6 and we're actually *checks notes* .... fuck, only starting Day 2.

She's right, gamers don't want to hear about feminism.

But, they _need_ to hear about it. The rampant misogyny in the gaming community is maddening. If you bring this stuff up you're just being political. It honestly disgusts me and has made me highly limit who I play with.

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

The problem with my Twitter is all the subjects I talk about all hate each other.

Gamers don’t want to hear about feminism.
Progressives don’t wanna hear about Porsche.
Pinball people don’t want to hear about politics.
And Porsche people don’t want to hear about queer politics.

[Charles @charlesspray]

I mean, I know the first thing I'm doing.

[Visvge @Sicclord1]

What?

[Charles @charlesspray]

There was joy in software development? I call shenanigans.

[Charles @charlesspray]

Ooof.

Not surprising in the slightest. But, still...

Ooof.

[Geoffrey A. Fowler @geoffreyfowler]

Oops! I did again, @washingtonpost:

I created a Twitter account pretending to be @SenMarkey (with his permission) and applied for Blue “verification.”

And once again, Twitter took my $8, asked zero questions and gave the fake account a blue checkmark.

@mike_puterbaugh @GergelyOrosz I've generally only worked on small teams that did a good job at avoiding code overlap. We also didn't normally have freezes that lasted long enough to cause merge hell. And, the freeze was often on the release branch not main or a dev branch.

The Consultant column tracks.

Is it true? 😂

First day back after the holidays

[Charles @charlesspray]

Me: *discussing serious issue impacting multiple members of the team*

My manager: *subtweets me in a shitpost*

@vranac At the very least 0.5 of a billable hour.

@asgrim I'm gonna have to figure out how I can replace more "w" sounds with "dub" now.

@nixcraft I will never run nvidia on linux again. So many issues that just went away the moment I installed an AMD GPU

[Charles @charlesspray]

Typical Alabama. City has problem it won't/can't solve. Citizen does something about it, city looks bad and retaliates.

Trap/Neuter/Return is hard work. The city should be working with them to help end their feral cat problem, not wasting resources prosecuting them.
