As a result of my employer abandoning their DEI programs in an act of cowardice, I am actively looking for a new job effective immediately. If you know anyone looking for an Azure/.NET/Power Platform application architect, development manager, or dev lead position, I am now looking.

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

Elon Musk's elderly co-President Donald Trump has good days and bad days but it's increasingly only days where he can't remember the names of cabinet offices. Brains leaking out his ears.

This is it. I have to close up shop providing mentorship for #cybersecurity careers. My final available sessions are posted. I will not be able to provide the service in Australia due to visa and time. https://calendly.com/lesleycarhart/ My apologies, and love to all the students I've seen over ten

For people that work in tech *only*. An important clarification on what federal employees mean when they say "probationary period." In tech, we're very reluctant to promote an engineer from say, level 5 to level 6, until we have enough time to know that the level 6 performance is sustainable.

Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences. AKA That Time Kat Started An Antifascist Hallway Riot In The Third Grade. Grab your beverage of choice.

The most defining term I can think of for this administration regardless of whether one ostensibly supports their policies is inept. At every step they are doing things in the stupidest way possible. Inept. A complete lack of ept. Eptless, even. 🤦
