Doing the "quiet quitting of Twitter" thing.
I'll keep the account but only look at it occasionally.
Mastodon is now the place to be.

On Mastodon, I now follow 25% the accounts I follow here.
Found movetodon.org an interactive tool to follow folks you followed here, much nicer and simpler to use.
Is mastodon really where all the tech people are heading? Is there nothing better? counter.social? diaspora? thumblr? myspace?
Red Bull's lame excuses re the team orders farce shows their complete lack of spine and further builds on the crazy level of hypocrisy the team already shows. #F1

Delivered my #NDCSydney performance talk. All green responses. Happy with that.
Also happy that we're back to in-person tech conferences! It's great catching up with people and meeting new people. Looking forward to more of it!
We run regular hackathons with the most recent one themed as "pay it forward". i.e. give back to the OSS community.
Our AppSec team did security analysis of a popular LMS and just had a few new CVEs published as a result of their efforts. Awesome!π€

Reviewing resumes. I can't but wonder why so many candidates seem to believe whitespace should be ruthlessly removed?
Are they trying to punish the recruiting industry through full-width walls of text where at least 40% of the words are in bold?
Ooh! Another cold call email snuck through the filter... this featured the non-ironic use of Comic Sans in part of the message.
I'm sooo tempted to reply with "I was interested in your idea, but your use of Comic Sans made you look stupid, so it's a hard No!"
That moment when a recruiter from your previous employer gets in touch via LinkedIn to say "I noticed your dev experience..."
...and the rest of the message implies "and I didn't even bother doing the most basic of checks to find out what you did here before".
GraphQL β is it an API for hipsters?
