This, this, this. Training juniors is about imparting a way of thinking. It’s your responsibility to help progress their careers. Prompt engineering is about tuning instruction sets If you think they are the same it tells me a lot about what you’re doing with your juniors.

Peter David was an incredible writer of comics, and, I would say, in the top three best ever Star Trek novelists. Spidey 2099, Hulk, Captain Marvel, X-Factor, Young Justice, New Frontier, Imzadi, Q-Squared, I could list his accomplishments all night. May his memory be a blessing

Did I wake up this morning thinking “man I hope I read all about the niche of horse games, and how there’s a hidden market for them and how players have modded other games just so they can have the experience they enjoy, and also the expert is on Bluesky?” No. But this is what the internet is for.

Blog entry: "It’s important that we reconsider how much to government software development outsource. I don’t mean what percentage of development, I mean the extent of each project that is handed off to a vendor. What might it look like to reduce the outsourced extent, if that would reduce risk?"

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

A lot of people on here keep fantasizing about the moment Trump "fires" Elon Musk because Musk has stepped out too far in front of him and I'm sure that feels good, but after watching the last Musk/Trump presser I think it's worth considering that we are essentially watching a coup via elder abuse.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
