I saw this one posted on Threads abd sharing here for some laughs . Within a few years, we will have jobs to fix all the technical debt created by vibe coders khhh

A year ago, I saw someone open a book lamp in a bar. It was a pretty expensive product. Since I combine electronics and paper crafting, I had to DIY it and develop an easy-to-use circuit template and instructions for it. This educational project is perfect for libraries. Please #retoot :-)
Template and instructions are available on my website: https://www.voltpaperscissors.com/diybooklamp.
Feel free to ask any questions.

Hi all. I would otherwise ask y’all to consider donating to support our instance(s) but instead, I’m going to ask you to consider helping to support one of our own, @catbailey, who was one of the many casualties of recent government cutbacks. You can support Cat here: https://gofund.me/f5aab496

Asking for a little favor.

A few years ago -for obvious reasons- I deleted all my american services. (instagram, facebook etc)

The result was my business plummeting down, no projects came in anymore, making it nearly impossible to come around after 20 years of career.

The favor I'm asking is if you know someone who's working with illustrators, or even just interested, just share my stuff please. Thanks :)

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Everyone quoted in this article from the Trump admin or the fossil fuel sector is spouting nonsense, confident that Americans will remain sufficiently uninformed and agnostic not to call them out. So let's do a little primer on energy and economic policy: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/14/trumps-economic-tumult-tests-the-oil-industrys-patience-00287408

Postscript: do not lose sight of the fact that Pope Francis is not only not fooled by these false prophets, but felt compelled to call them out.

I'm hiring an L4 (mid-career, early side of senior/pre-senior) infrastructure software engineer! I'm looking for someone with:
• A broad understanding of AWS cloud infrastructure fundamentals
• Strong python or golang skills
• Ready to work with code managing infrastructure at scale (e.g., we break AWS APIs because they time out on describe calls)

and would like to see at least one of these skill areas:
• Experience building robust systems or easy to use abstractions for AWS native services such as EC2, Lambda, S3, SNS, SQS, DDB, etc.
• Experience leveraging AWS Config, Cloud Control API, CloudFormation, and CloudTrail
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools

Netflix Cloud Security has industry-leading cloud security capabilities, and one of the most sophisticated AWS environments in the world. As a manager, I prioritize inclusion in order to maintain both the wellbeing and productivity of our diverse team. We hold folks to delivering high quality work by creating environments where you can operate to the best of your ability, through work-life balance, expecting folks to take ample time off (~6 weeks, but no one will track it). I'm happy to talk about this role and about how I manage teams — e.g., my Explicit Expectations and my commitments to my reports.

I'd love to hear what perspectives, skills, and experiences you could bring to our team!

TIL that because the FFmpeg project has gained so much experience in hand-writing assembly code to provide huge speedups, they now are putting together a series of lessons for learning assembly:

Vibe coding is fun and all, but this is probably a better use of time!

Read this. Spread it. Our nation does this in our name to a tourist--and much, much worse to immigrants without power or protection.
