Not a week goes by that I don't have to reverse engineer something just to figure out why, for example, my smart doorbell isn't working or why an app keeps crashing. I don't understand how normal people trying to use computers aren't all feeing hopeless all the time.

It's depressing how many times I've apologized on auto-pilot for asking people to mask/rapid test before a gathering. Not once has anyone apologized to me for exposing me to unsafe events/gatherings.

Wow @paulg was suspended from twitter. I suspect it was because he had his website in his bio which links to his mastodon account. WTF

Imagine sucking so bad at your job that mastodon scares you as a competitor

BREAKING: companies are hiring software engineers and engineering managers. More than 750 of them! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this list. See the full one here: blog.pragmaticengineer.com/who-is-hiring-… (Using the 'breaking' part to highlight some good news for a change!)

Unless a company does something completely different (I don’t know anyone who is), then it’s just the same shit with a different filter put on top. It’s a ‘tear it down’ situation, but I don’t think we’ll do it while I’m still working.

IMHO there’s no way to ‘fix’ the current way we interview in tech. We have no data it’s working, it pisses everyone off and it’s painful.

pifmgr.dll is still included in Windows 11 and still, to this day, contains a bunch of random-ass 16-colour icons from Windows 3.x that have nothing to do with computing

@OhPoorPup The non elite has a clicky disk pad thing and doesn’t have the snapback issues of the elite’s heavy sticks - my favorite controller so far / overall!
