inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

June’s newsletter has just dropped! 📰
Dev news from the past month; a dev pick; a dev comic pick; podcast updates; and more! I’m also thinking of switching to weekly (see newsletter for reasoning). Interested to know what readers think about this. https://danclarke.beehiiv.com/

Hello #GetFediHired Fediverse,

i'm looking for a job, preferably something software or electronics engineering related. I have nominally some background in the back-end of web tech stack and big data, but experience shows that I can read myself into most tech subfields, from medical lab machinery through high-intensity signal processing and drone flight control, reasonably fast, and I can still write cleaner code than a chatbot. Have been a manager and can speak managerish, although for now more comfortably in English than German. Located in NRW, Germany, close to Bielefeld; can be legally employed throughout EU. No formal degree, but I have dropped out of university twice (thanks #ADHD) and know my way around mathematics.

If you know of a job that I might fit for, perhaps even a dog's dinner of a project whose first few directions turned out to not be quite as fruitful as hoped for, please DM me, and let's talk about it.

I do not want to "interact" with bullshit Agents in any way

If you run a PeerTube instance, you should probably make sure you're upgraded to v8.2.2 immediately.

There's an undisclosed security vulnerability which was patched in v8.2.2.

hahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahah

I've written a computer program. And I wasn't going to say anything but it seems it's a very powerful computer program and I'm worried it might be... dangerous.

I've put it on a thumb drive and locked it in a safe, but maybe someone should come and carefully check it out in the air-gap room I've made on my porch?

It might just end the world as we know it. But I'm very responsible so I've put it in the safe. Don't worry.

... unrelated... anyone want to get in on my IPO?

Where have you been all my life. I almost built my own before finding this today.

Today the good people of the world commemorate the passing of Google Reader thirteen short years ago on July 1, 2013.

To honor their memory (and in lieu of flowers) please add an RSS, Atom, JSON or equivalent feed to your web site and keep building towards a web that connects people in meaningful and positive ways.

You don’t get #privacy but you do get individualised user adverts. Aren’t we glad we live in this future:

Not trying to incite a flame war but…
#vim or #emacs. Which do you prefer and why?

How about we forget “move fast and break things” and instead embrace “go slow and keep things working”?

Good news Wednesday anyone?

“The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys independently and at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare”

Big Tech: this sounds great let’s call it #AI.

I was thinking of making some #programming zines to sell on different topics. I like drawing and teaching and I think they would be a fun learning resource for people.

I am working on a “DevOps for indie developers” type course at the moment but there are a lot of smaller topics that wouldn’t be worth a whole course on.

What do you think?

I like how many posts there are about the hacked photos of the iPhone 18 Pro and I’m just staring at it like “we’re entirely sure this is….a different phone?”

Like if the visual styling is barely going to change year to year maybe you can cool it on the security Apple.

Welp… it’s my turn to #getfedihired:
• Experienced writer, primarily in technology news/reviews/how-tos
• Professional audio and video editing for podcasts, YouTube, shorts
• 20+ years in graphic design
• 8 years as a marketing director
• Computer Science degree
• Based in Ohio, prefer remote work

I can do a lot of things! Email feedback@dgriffinjones.com
