The brain really wants to write some Perl today. All right brain, have it your way.

Look I hope the AI bubble pops as much as anyone (maybe slightly less since the job market is crowded enough as it is) but we both know the VCs we love to loathe will do just fine if and when it does.

Third time I’ve seen this exact job listing from this exact company.

But hey at least I’ve already got a cover letter ready.

what with the new administration setting policies and those policies being applied to public codebases, and a non-zero chance repos will be altered or deleted?

Now is as good a time as any to fork and / or clone your favorite repos from your favorite US government organizations.

the link from @cstanhope is a 404 now for me. Maybe GH’s broken, maybe NASA’s Transform-to-Open-Science repo has been deleted or made private.

but oh hey I happened to have cloned that repo and have the changes handy.

EDIT: cloned main branch viewable at https://github.com/brianwisti/Transform-to-Open-Science (h/t @drwho for the gentlest of nudges)

git diff for project code of conduct, showing references to inclusiveness have been stripped out

I appreciate that my brain tries to keep me balanced.

Any time I’m feeling pleased with myself for having done something clever, my brain is there with “ah yes you did do the clever thing, very good. Don’t forget you also somehow cut your finger on a plastic cake cover today.”

So considerate.

Jumpy Dog loves ice. Any time you’re prepping a glass of ice water, she’s there. Waiting on her cut. I usually give her a piece of ice.

And Bouncy Dog right behind her, “I want some! Please! Pretty please! Can I have can I have can I – ew why did you give me cold hard water”

Trying out a GregTech-style modpack. Not quite as educational as Vintage Story, but definitely has more going on than your basic modded survival mode.

Never been so proud to figure out clay and campfires in Minecraft.
