hi all i'm looking for jobs
my interests in nice legible format:
- build systems/CI
- compilers&adjacent tools
- devtools
- network infra
- "weird systems-y things" (databases, debuggers, misusing kernel APIs)
- teaching and mentoring
that said i'm open to most areas, happy to DM

2 minutes until the end of an extraordinarily hectic day and one of my kindergartners trudged up to me and said “I just want to be home eating cereal with a blanket” like from your mouth to God’s ears buddy

@princess_worms @towardstengen @HMWatson @oldenoughtosay i would describe his books as queer but not in the way that word is normally used

The Wasp Factory is actually significantly moreso imo, he kinda throws in the fact that people in the Culture can switch genders but it doesn’t happen in any story but Excession

[GSV Yawning Angel @jynelson514]

@princess_worms @towardstengen @HMWatson @oldenoughtosay no???? also he’s dead treat him with a little more respect jeez

[GSV Yawning Angel @jynelson514]

@princess_worms @towardstengen @HMWatson @oldenoughtosay consider phelebas is kinda like the opening episode of black mirror in that it *does* fit thematically with the series but also it’s a *lot* and doesn’t give you a good idea of what the other stories will be like

unironically, take an interest in things. visit art galleries, hit up the library and discover-browse. read widely. learn new languages, new words. watch old films. the world is a wonderful place but the sense of wonder is a muscle that must be cultivated like any other.

[GSV Yawning Angel @jynelson514]

@worm_jailer babe. darling. beautiful. consider: you deserve love no matter what you look like

[neoltitude @ctrlcreep]

Love something so much you become part of it, and intersect it even after death, stained into the world like a saint or a small god

@mycoliza The problem with infrastructure as code is that people stuff Turing-completeness into configuration languages instead of using actual programming languages

[alice maz @alicemazzy]

been thinking a lot the last couple months about pasts that can't ever be returned to. described the feeling as "an immutable loss of innocence, the curse of knowledge knowing that paradise can never be revisited because even if you went back it would feel flat and artificial"
