#introductions

Sooo, my company have opened up for volunteer redundancies, if anyone needs or is hiring for a senior dotnet/python/rust dev who's entire personality is "I like making cool things work", I'm open

Some of my highlight include

- I wrote the entire train driver licencing management system for all of Great Britain, on my own, in a few weeks, with a completely unfamiliar stack

- Successfully defended the aforementioned project directly to the cabinet office when they blocked it and allowed it to continue to be deployed

- Once built a 64 bit computer in vanilla Java Minecraft (no command blocks)

- Worked on nuclear, medical, and autonomous driving systems, cannot talk about this too much, but this does mean I can absolutely talk your ear off about the importance of strict vigilance in software engineering

@vaurora interesting article! Personally I don't view myself as an artist or a mercenary–or someone who gets paid to type, for that matter. I am a software *engineer* and taking responsibility for what you're building is part of that distinction IMO.

I do agree that these conversations and choices were easier when LLMs were obviously unfit for generating code. But producing feasibly working code as fast as possible isn't actually what a software engineer's job entails.

This is the sad state of the web. To the point that I have a dedicated device to read PDFs

@tommi would love your thoughts on this article (linked in the first one):

@thatkatharine
I put my mask on in a parking garage and when I walk to my office with mask on, I think of all of the cars with surveillance systems (and all the other surveillance systems) that won't be able to do a good job w/ facial recognition. Screw them.

Not really FUN, but satisfying.

@legoktm oh i see it now! it’s almost invisible, heh

@jaredwhite No. Not even a little.

@mttaggart

Great...it's narcissistic too.... 🙄
