@eviltrout better than Saving Private Ryan? That was such an amazing early demo DVD.

@wilshipley Yeah mine shows registered in 2008.

@johnolilly @nomorobo it's basically all the calls I get :(

@jolson88 @aprilwensel I have written literally hundreds of blog entries on this *exact* topic, read through the archives https://t.co/Nf1VS68JC4

@jolson88 @aprilwensel and while "the work" is holistic, try doing it _without_ the machine and see how far you can get?

@jolson88 @aprilwensel nowhere am I saying there is a mold or expected stereotype, other than you must love your work, and work hard.

@aprilwensel that's kind of an optional side benefit of the job ;) the primary bit is loving your relationship with the machine

@aprilwensel it's consistent with what I said, e.g. love the machine: " It wasn’t even a second before I answered, 'I’d become a better programmer'"

@jcmeloni @kevinmontrose Oh you missed that catchy c********er episode?

@ftrain all horse ebooks are good

@notwaldorf @snuggsi adding names also adds localization issues...

@Pinboard donating now, while chewing on some qat

@Beschizza currently running a robust 0% on tomatometer https://t.co/ob4IYBv0v1

@ZachWeiner Zach, you just picked the child molester's jam. https://t.co/nPIcokgsOO

@ZachWeiner yeah he's super racist, not recommended

@kevindente how about unlimited beatings?

@cizky it's from https://t.co/6FiZWKLX4A original source!

@Tzeejay more of this.. just newer revisions (64gb ram, i7-7700k, 1tb samsung 850 pros) https://t.co/Lk2pRPWEHq

@donpark sometimes you explained it wrong in the first place, though.

@TheJare intentional. the idea is that you have 10 chars to add.. nuance.

@emilyst @haley @Pinboard Competiveness declines with age, also strongly correlated with gender https://t.co/hSBkL3DQKt

@emilyst @haley @Pinboard well-that-escalated-quickly.gif

@emilyst @haley @Pinboard It does have a competitive bent, which isn't for everyone. https://t.co/mgCpAZ8PsA

@haley @emilyst @Pinboard Introvert vs. extrovert is more what I was getting at, not that programmers hate people. One level of social indirection is a hell of a drug

@emilyst @haley @Pinboard Computers work well along the axis described in this comic: one level of indirection for social https://t.co/jYDwxWUvKc

@emilyst @haley @Pinboard I talk to people on the internet like yourselves!

@davidnin I had forgotten about this!

@jeremybowers Words -- code -- was, though. Loving the pen which is mightier, etc.

@jeremybowers Watch the movie Interstellar and tell me the robots weren't the actual heroes. It's striking.

@palewire @jeremybowers Look up the dedication in TAoCP

@haley @Pinboard Perhaps in 2050, we hope. Ways to go.

@jeremybowers Not at all. Great detectives learn to think like criminals to understand them. Programmers do the same; it is an occupational hazard.

@haley @Pinboard Perhaps boring, but true. Also why people complain about HN comments. They ain't wrong.

@SaraJChipps @kevinmontrose @StackExchange There are several cat related warnings hospitals / doctors regularly give to pregnant women

@meat @Pinboard Come at me tensorbro

@Pinboard @deadprogrammer @joshjordanwhat A+++ tweet would read again

@Pinboard @deadprogrammer @joshjordanwhat I really want to understand what you are trying to say, but Twitter is the medium of choice for Trump. Just sayin'

@joshjordanwhat @Pinboard @deadprogrammer Maciej needs to be bothered until he blogs about this. Way too nuanced for tweetstorms. So it is on topic, let the suffering continue

@joshjordanwhat @Pinboard @deadprogrammer Sorry I may have yelled there a bit

@joshjordanwhat @Pinboard @deadprogrammer These two guys are joking, they know each other. Twitter sucks for nuance. SO FUCKING BLOG IT MACIEJ

@gnuaesthetic Exhibit A: you seem like a wonderful person to interact with. Let me guess, you are a programmer?

@noahlz @Pinboard yeah, wake me up when you take the same sort of exams to certify, plus the 4+ years of mandatory advanced school

@Pinboard @blehdesu also, remote work from anywhere in the world for a tech job? unpossible!!

@Pinboard @blehdesu no, it's not. There is much upper management hand wringing over getting the perfect white male Yale CS graduate in place, perhaps.

@yamthatiam @Pinboard @patio11 I don't work at Stack Overflow any more, so I beg to differ ;)

@Pinboard on the other hand https://t.co/82Zb6gM7Gi

@strife25 @Pinboard already covered; if it involves us getting agents, like actors and athletes do, sign me up for Ari Gold! https://t.co/wUCAagZNUX

@Pinboard @patio11 What he's saying is in fact correct. The best programmers put *themselves* out of a job!

@Pinboard Moreover, "You’re in the business of unemploying people. If you think that is unfair, go back to school" https://t.co/jzoNF5oVVC

@Pinboard I just don't see a ton of future in organizing fat, happy, rich people.

@Pinboard https://t.co/vEan54dl1A "They see themselves as individuals promoted on their talents... and often leave workplaces rather than protest"

@Pinboard Why do already rich people need even more bargaining power?

@mwichary zero was invented much, much later than other numbers

@zaphodgjd might be safe, I feel there are serious diminishing returns on res after 4k

@AlizeNero @samsaffron @eviltrout you're doing an amazing job so far, keep going! 🤩

On top of ALL THAT it has some of the best equal representations of women and PoC I have ever seen in a game.

It has been in development hell since 2011 but somehow emerged as a game that legit looks like a team spent 6 years building solid mechanics

It has, bar none, the best procedurally generated maps I have ever seen in a game. Super fun to explore and always engaging

The art is fantastic, a cross between Sam & Max and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

@jmfaerman @franciscoed @bygalego email me at jatwood@codinghorror.com if interested

@linuxjeb email me at jatwood@codinghorror.com if interested!

@Beschizza No idea, just giving you tech startup numbers. Their numbers also seem weird to me. $37k to pay 6 people per month is.. low.

@Beschizza That is fully encumbered, all in expenses including everything, rent, benefits, equipment, all overhead

@Beschizza Rule of thumb for tech folks is $10k per month per person. Some say $15k or even $20k..

@SamNazarko not exactly, for a super-mega-enterprise customer we need world level redundancy

@QuinnyPig @mike_julian could you shoot me a quick email to jatwood@codinghorror.com and I can reply?

@tqbf @mrkurt @nikitab All I heard was "blah blah blah YOU GET AN AGENT"

@mrkurt @tqbf @nikitab Yeah they have agents. Sign me up for some of that sweet Ari Gold agent love! https://t.co/UxKg0Eb2QA

@jarrod_dixon @mashable @SongHoryun What if AR zombies are chasing you instead

@efdee I am literally reading this from twitter in a split screen sidebar on an ipad

@burkeholland True but I don't think that is a quote from me!

@Hillelogram @TheRealCasadaro @Pinboard Maciej is an *extraordinary* storyteller. He's just not telling this particular story anywhere I can rationally link to?

@Pinboard @Hillelogram @TheRealCasadaro I think Maciej is a better vehicle and spokesperson for that effort. What is it he is specifically asking people to do?

@Hillelogram @Pinboard @TheRealCasadaro Not really; only public, coherent web pages have any chance of reaching people. Not that tweetstorms aren't awesome, and all

@Pinboard @Hillelogram @TheRealCasadaro You should blog it because I am clearly not getting it, and I suspect I am not alone.

@Hillelogram @Pinboard @TheRealCasadaro I am glad all of this rhetoric somehow makes sense to Maciej but it makes zero sense to me.

@Hillelogram @Pinboard @TheRealCasadaro And tell me how tech people, who are in the actual business of putting people out of work, are gonna win red state heart and minds?

@Hillelogram @Pinboard @TheRealCasadaro I believe Hillary's campaign was massively funded and that didn't work. So tell me again about funding, how this time is different?

@Pinboard @TheRealCasadaro Whatever the solution is, "unionize and organize tech workers" will have at best an incidental and maybe, if lucky, accidental effect

@Pinboard @TheRealCasadaro And not only that, but headcount in California (for example) is literally useless.

@Pinboard @TheRealCasadaro The argument you are making isn't sensible: Shirky *literally says it*: headcount is the ONLY thing that matters.

@Pinboard @TheRealCasadaro Again: give me headcount of the big four tech companies. Compare with any other industry.

@Pinboard @TheRealCasadaro "Winning isn't about policy, or passion. It's about headcount." I only hope enough foolish people see Trump for what he is now.

@Pinboard @TheRealCasadaro "Liberals cluster, in cities and in states." read closely, every word. Note date of post. https://t.co/W8SMm8vUEg

@Pinboard @TheRealCasadaro Also, how many tech people in those battleground states, remind me?

@Pinboard @TheRealCasadaro Aggregate headcount is how Trump won, my friend. One human one vote.

@Pinboard Seriously how big do you think the tech workforce is? Compare headcount of GM and, say, Apple.

@chetfaliszek https://t.co/xasmN9lwfI

@Pinboard Step zero, rewrite codebase in literally anything other than PHP! :)

@Pinboard hire me and I will take actions on Pinboard's behalf no problem.. LOTS of actions..

@efdee irrelevant, try it yourself with "stuff" in the background.

@LeaVerou Ugh that is awful :(

@vogelchr Don't tell me tell the author

@johnolilly chew one out, you mean

@wirehead2501 @Pinboard ha ha I can be that funny too NO YOU PROBABLY CAN'T AND NOW WE ARE ALL CRINGING

@evleaks see data at ⇒ https://t.co/sSB7yKsT7A

@wirehead2501 @Pinboard as I said before on this, but I can't find the tweet: unless you are a professional comic, don't get on stage
