I pee on my compost, so there's a little something for everyone in this story.

This seems like the perfect moment to come back to twitter and let you all know that there's a non-zero chance Elon Musk has eaten veggies from my garden.

That was the only day, too! Until today! I'm a walking programmer stereotype so of course it's to spiff up my personal site, by which I mean choose a new static site generator and make no actual website changes.
It has been 19 days since I quit my tech job! I said I wasn't going to program a damn thing until I really wanted to, and today is the day.

Store them with their lids ON. You can’t fit as many in the cupboard but it totally eliminates the problem of orphan containers with mismatched lids.
Folks who work with containers: what's a thing that you find very useful or important, but was very difficult to figure out? (Not counting orchestration :)) (E.g. multistage builds, figuring out oom kills, file permissions, ... You tell me your pick!)

Matt does trainings and medics for events for free, all the damn time. I selfishly want him to get more skills because I know they’ll benefit our community. Help a buddy out!

Matt gave me my first protest medic training all the way back in 2005. Last spring he taught me how to do injections so I could vaccinate my sheep.

For the record, I give really good polyamory advice and love doing it! With friends, in non-professional settings.

Interviewed at a startup, interviewer ended up telling me all about his dysfunctional polyamorous relationship and asking me for advice. Gave the advice, did not accept eventual offer.

Hahahaha I don’t think I’ve ever gotten through an interview without dropping a “fuck” or two. Interviews go both ways, thankfully.

"Candidate did well, coming up with an optimal solution in just a few minutes. Most candidates take >10. But while translating from pseudocode she caught an error herself, saying 'Oh cr*p!' She immediately put her hand over her mouth but it was too late! I heard it. No hire!😠"

Speaking of making money, Techtonica is accepting applications for their software engineering fellowship! Great way to get your start in tech.

I wish people would stop saying “mutual aid” when they mean “charity.”
