With the amount of sex-related scandals in politics it's like becoming an eunuch should be a prerequisite for taking office. Or any leadership position whatsoever, where a single drop of drama can dismantle the entire movement.
Why people can't keep it in their pants?

One of the reasons I stopped making client apps for corporate platforms is because "filling in the gaps" of someone else's platform usually resolves itself poorly. Either the platform holder fills in the gap, they decide the gap goes against their corporate interests, or the gap is itself meaningless and nobody wants a fix for it.
For any young devs out there making a client app for some corpo's API, I strongly recommend not doing that, except for fun projects or things that get you headlines.
LLMs doing that "garbage in - garbage out" thing...

It is ridiculous how "agile" means "mandatory synchronous reading out loud microblog posts that nobody did write in advance".
Should've stopped with just the "microblog" part.
Meeting dosage over 0.83 μHz can be detrimental for productivity.

I didn't like that "death by fancy autocorrect" meme at first, but then I've begun to be more accepting.
The idea of humanity auto-correcting itself (out of existence) by means of war and/or gross negligence has a certain ring to it.
Another batch of humanity auto-correction risks spotted

My own hypothesis is that the harmful thing is "engagement maximization" and not "social media", and that you could have engagement-maximization algorithms applied to other things and make them more harmful, but I don't have hard data to support that and I don't really even know how to start going about gathering it, or falsifying this hypothesis.

I acquired (with help) a killer audio cassette digitizing rig, and then IMMEDIATELY had to spend over 2 months digitizing 90+ cassettes from the 1999 Game Developers Conference (via a slow-and-steady workflow that got the job done without being too disruptive to any other work I was doing).
So, here we are, it's done. Go enjoy 70+ hours of presentations about all aspects of game making and producing, in 1999.

Adding more solitaires to my collection; this one's Binary Solitaire! The idea is to make stacks from 7 to 1 by counting in binary
Looks like this is the reason why Opus, the next-gen Xiph codec, was failed to overtake its predecessor Vorbis despide being pareto-superior to it.
The author of `stb_vorbis.h` that gets shipped far and wide found that they can't make the same for Opus due to licensing shenanigans.
