“Pitbulls are aggressive” OK, Karen, but have you met any pitty? especially mine who just went on a 45 minute 1 mile walk because he had to say hi to all his friends in the neighborhood?

Cries in too real 😭😭😭 www.reddit.com/r/migraine/s...

#Community is a beacon in the darkness of all this despair 🔥 Thank you to @annthurium.bsky.social (@launchdarkly.bsky.social), @erinmikail.bsky.social (Galileo.ai), & generous hosts jam.dev for a delightful evening of ChatGPT Roulette! 💕

SCENE: INTERIOR, SAN FRANCISCO TECH OFFICE, OPEN FLOOR PLAN ERIN: “AHHHHHHHHHOSDFHIOSHGIOADHSGIOHASDIOGHAIOSGOSGADFAHSDIOFAHS”

there is a certain sense of joy I get when someone tells me I have my shit together at an airport

do you have a storage container of props or do you not not know how to have fun?

I used “portco’s” in a sentence non ironically. please unplug me from startup life for a while 🫠

work post alert ❗❗ (we're shipping cool ish @rungalileo.bsky.social 😉)

I am so glad our Cheeto in chief is focused on the important things like banning paper straws and being transphobic to .001% of athletes. It’s not like we have any other issues to solve.

“It’s a startup where founders can find good coffee shops in Brooklyn to work out of” that’s called Bedford Ave keep your bad ideas to SF plz

stressed? may I recommend taking over a small civilization in civ? #civ7

Feeling the pre-pandemic meetup design scene vibes ✨ in New York thanks to the hard work of the best people. Community is everything. See you all at the next one ✌️ Thanks for the fun and the photos! @erinmikail.bsky.social and @donnie.damato.design

I truly don’t understand the cognitive malfuckery that lets someone think Trump supports women / feminism

“Creating RAG from scratch”, a *must see* talk for every dev by @philna.sh. In one hour you’ll get what took me weeks to piece meal together last year. I consider this (embeddings, RAG, vector searches) really foundational knowledge now for any dev to have in their tool belt.

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

I’m sorry but how can anyone even listen to RFK speak and think he’s remotely qualified ?

ICYMI! We're gathering the best and brightest (and maybe the most brave) for a little AI-Inspired fun with the @Tabnine team! Join @itsaydrian.dev and @erinmikail.bsky.social for a round of ChatGPT Roulette. The slides are all generated LIVE by OpenAI! Will you take the challenge? RSVP ⤵️

CALLING ALL SILLY GOOSES!! just your neighborhood comedians friendly reminder that a research-backed effective way to combat facism is through comedy!

Just got the call. fired. I was the DEI coordinator for the Winter Olympics. I was in charge of the biathlon. Enjoy the straightathlon now.

Just got the call. Fired. I was the DEI coordinator for Florida libraries. My job was to put gay subliminal messages in classic literature and the dictionary.

ugh that’s it, I’ve been fired. Done. DEI Coordinator for the tomato on bodega ham and cheese sandwiches. Tried to make them feel less like an afterthought and more like an essential part. Apparently, that’s not ‘cost-effective.’

They let me go. DEI Coordinator for the MTA. My focus? Advocating for accessible turnstile keyboards so subway rats could have a voice. Unappreciated, as usual.

Developer advocacy at startups = identifying and triaging chaos: 🔥 Actual crisis: Users can’t access the product. 🤷‍♀️ Fake crisis: Someone freaking out over button color in the docs. Not every fire deserves your hose. Pick your battles. 👩‍🚒😉

I read the NY Mag cover story on young right wingers and my only takeaway (having been exposed to them directly against my will on more than one occasion) is that no amount of power and/or money will make them less cringe-y.

What you don't draw diagrams of the relationship between data stores, external APIs, ml models, and applications to your family over lunch?

it’s so insane to me that people work for ICE like did you watch star wars and think man i want to be like the guys in the plastic white suits who can’t aim for shit

Saturday plans: - recover from minor illness - finish moving my online assets to as much self-hosted/federated sites as possible - finish unpacking everything from the move

Had fantastic time shooting Leet Heat! @jason.energy, @marktechson.com, and @anniesexton.com have got something really cooking here! They were so much fun to play off of and work with. This kind of collaboration gets me so jazzed up! I got to meet so many cool people! Can't wait for these episodes!

When things don’t run on a schedule my brain simply cannot. Number one way to get under my skin and put me in a bad mood is when I’m running late or things fall off schedule. Is this an #ADHD thing a type A person thing or some other #neurospicy thing? Or just a quirk?

to all those working in online moderation, trust, safety, and integrity — may the keyboard warriors, edgelords, and trolls see themselves to the door. thank you for doing your part to keep the internet safe.

The only capitalist dystopia I’m interested in experiencing is Severance, thank you very much.

In case you were wondering where I stand - trans rights + affordable healthcare are human rights - pride was a riot - gender is a spectrum - climate change is real - vaccines save lives - tr*mp is a facist - free Palestine - no human is illegal - when the 4th estate bends democracy breaks

American media: What could Elon Musk's hand gesture have meant? German media: We know exactly what the fuck that meant
