The people who think they are good at everything because they are good at coding are also bad at coding.

This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says “i don’t know about this, so I assume no one else does either.” It’s new to them, so it must be new to everybody!

Michael Roth is the only college/university president I'm aware of that's actually demonstrating what leadership and integrity look like

They’re shortselling on our destruction.

The billionaires do not have normal human relationships with people who don’t want anything from them so they have to boil the oceans to build themselves friends

ATProto makes programming fun again. Here's a side project I did over the holidays, a small app that surfaces the 10 latest links to GitHub repos from the network. I learned a ton, including Go, Javascript, and a lot about websockets vickiboykis.com/2025/01/23/y...
