Claddagh Rings.
For St Valentine’s weekend, the National Museums of Ireland are highlighting the rich history of the iconic Claddagh ring—first crafted around 1700 and symbolising friendship, love, and loyalty through its clasped hands, crowned heart, and deep Galway roots. The Claddagh remains a cherished emblem of Irish heritage.

That moment when you look up from the gravel path and realise the sun has already said goodbye to the forest floor, but it’s still dancing on the hills above.

Big Bertha, the cow that drank whiskey, lived until she was 48, broke two Guinness world records and raised £60,000 for cancer research. Big Bertha was born in County Kerry, Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day 1945 and lived until 1993, which is exceptionally old for a cow. #globalmuseum #cows #Ireland

Brigid is associated with blacksmiths, spring, and cattle, among other things, and stories like blinding herself to repel men's unwanted attention. The three-armed cross here represents both the triple goddess and the trinity. Lá Fhéile Bríde shona daoibh 🌸

The Biddy is an Irish folk tradition linked to Brigid’s Day and Imbolc, where groups wear white and handmade straw headpieces to travel around playing music while carrying a Brídeóg (a model Brigid in child form), warding off evil and bringing luck.

#Imbolc or #Imbolg (#Irish pronunciation: [ə ˈmˠɔlˠəɡ]), also called Saint Brigid's Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Bríde; #Scottish #Gaelic: Là Fhèill Brìghde; #Manx: Laa'l Breeshey), is a Gaelic traditional festival on 1 February. It marks the beginning of #spring, and in Christianity, it is the feast day of Saint Brigid, #Ireland's patroness saint. Historically, its many folk #traditions were widely observed throughout Ireland, #Scotland and the Isle of Man. Imbolc falls about halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox and is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals, along with Bealtaine, Lughnasadh and Samhain.

Today in Labor History January 30, 1972: Bloody Sunday in Northern Ireland occurred when British soldiers gunned down 14 Roman Catholic civil-rights marchers in Derry. The victims were all unarmed and running away from the soldiers when they were shot. Many more were injured by shrapnel, rubber bullets or batons. The soldiers who killed them were members of the 1st Battalion Parachute Regiment, which had committed the Ballymurphy Massacre several months prior. Two days after Bloody Sunday, Paul McCartney recorded, “Give Ireland Back to the Irish.” It was one of the only songs banned by the BBC. John Lennon later recorded “Sunday Bloody Sunday.” And, of course, there is the 1983 U2 song, “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” and the cover of the same, by Saul Williams.

We are hiring for a senior developer role in Ireland. Systems programming in Golang and Python, Linux only, mostly open-source. The team is located in Europe and the East Coast.
We are looking for a smart person who's able to work in a team, challenge technical decisions, but also own their mistakes (and learn from them).
On Fedi I am not public about who I am or who I work for, which makes this a bit complicated. Hit me up if the pitch sounds interesting.
Disclaimer: At the job, using AI is encouraged when it makes sense, it wouldn't work if you are angry with all LLMs.
