I was sadly just laid off at shopify

I've worked across the stack, building distributed systems, complex frontends, web, mobile, data engineering, compilers. I've worked in countless languages and love diving into to complex systems.

Reach out if you know of any opportunities

👉Seismic from @geoffreyhinton: ‘The best hope is for the world’s leading scientists to collaborate on ways of controlling the technology. “I don’t think they should scale this up more until they have understood whether they can control it”

RT @emilymbender
Sen @BernieSanders you are right that we need regulation to ensure tech development that actually benefits everyone.

Machine's aren't gathering info. Big Tech is using machines to gather it. Let's keep the focus on keeping corporations accountable.

RT @schwarz
Benjamin Ferencz, the last surviving prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials, has died. I didn't think the NY Times could write an obituary of him without mentioning Ferencz's belief that Bush should be put on trial for the Iraq war. But they pulled it off! https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/08/world/europe/benjamin-b-ferencz-dead.html

I’ve mentioned before that this covers about the same area and population as the Bay Area plus Sacramento. And that every line on the map is 2 trains per hour from early morning to around midnight. But did I mention that the stations all have timed transfers to local transit?

RT @rudydotca
This is Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris. During her tenure, the banks of the Seine were opened, 30 km/h introduced and safe cycle paths built in record time. Now she wants to abolish 60,000 parking spaces, green the city ring and free the center from through traffic. https://twitter.com/Perowinger94/status/1642072168925220865

RT @StrongTowns
Every day after school, these kids have to cross 6 lanes of traffic with no shoulder, no buffer between the curb and sidewalk, no shade, and poor driver visibility. This is the world we’ve built. And we wonder why kids don’t spend time outside anymore.

🧵People are starting to hit me up with “traffic calming/st. redesign aren’t critical ‘crime fighting’ issues” & that I need to focus on real crime. I’ve spoken w/ one too many families impacted by violence & death associated with speeding & collisions to entertain this belief.

Just incredible. NY Times asks, “Why did the U.S. invade Iraq?” without mentioning the completely false article it published on its front page in the run-up to the war suggesting Iraq had WMDs. And its other brazen pro-war coverage more broadly. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/18/world/middleeast/iraq-war-reason.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Many computer touching jobs are pretty normal and unsexy but also have clear use cases, but they like to talk about the weird stuff because it’s dramatic and exciting. No, you need to focus on being normal for a bit.

UNVERIFIED RUMOUR:

Musk fired everyone with access to the private key to their internal root CA, and they can no longer run Puppet because the Puppet master's CA cert expired and they can't get a new one because no one has access. They no longer can mint certs.

Land use planning has had devastating impacts on Americans: economically, socially, and culturally.

But I’m not a doomer & I know these things are fixable. Not overnight reversible, but certainly fixable.
