Ok peeps, we're 4 months into 2024 and I've been without work this whole time so we're going to try this again. If you know of any senior software engineering positions that are actually being hired for, please drop them below.
I have 12 cumulative years of experience, so that shouldn't be an issue, and I know most of the languages in use nowadays well enough to be dangerous, but I am extremely proficient in TypeScript, Python, and Ruby. What I'd rather do more than anything though is have an opportunity to use Go professionally.
I started on Mastodon.social, then went to infosec.exchange before the c̶u̶l̶t̶ welcoming community at beige.party sucked me in with their p̶r̶o̶m̶i̶s̶e̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶e̶t̶e̶r̶n̶a̶l̶ ̶l̶i̶f̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶d̶e̶m̶i̶s̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶e̶n̶e̶m̶i̶e̶s̶ love and kindness.
I didn't officially log out of #Twitter until the 19th (when he reinstated the Orange Fascist), but I was basically done there a year ago today and began working on the #Mastodon experience for myself.
I kept the bots running there for another week or so (the 25th, I believe) until Apartheid Daddy's stupid mods killed my #API keys for "spamming another user's mentions"... even though the other user was another one of my bots... morons.
a year later and I get all I want online from here. there's news if you look, lots of humor and even #weirdmastodon exists and is as fucked up as you want it. my blocklist is fewer than 10 people somehow as well.
I may bring a bot to Sky just because I'm a #programmer at heart and an API whore, so it'd more for tech testing than anything else.
So let's keep it going for years to come on this sore aging parent website, folks!
I'm going to have TWO full-time one-year #postdocs available from 1 April: one for a historian with knowledge of #medieval Latin #palaeography, one for a computer scientist/#programmer (or someone else with a proven ability to code software). The job descriptions will be out in January, but please re-post this and forward it on to people you think may be interested/qualified. I'm happy to answer questions. @medievodons@histodons
*Use /search for search (/search?query=something)
*Move account secrets to a dedicated table (and encrypt it?)
*Add a way for the user to select which languages they understand
*Allow admins to configure instance favicon and logo
*Allow searching for hashtags in admin UI
*Convert Redux state to Typescript #MastoAdmin#devops#Programmers#dev.
Random #Programmer thought: Shouldn't tracebacks really be called tracethroughs? (Trace throughs) Not all tracebacks go back. Python's, for example, goes from oldest to newest, so, that's not really tracing back?
Brushing up on my #css and noticing that using the CSS grid system actually makes laying out UI components a lot more doable as a #blind#programmer. Don't get me wrong, it's still CSS which means left is south and forward is towards the fifth dimension, but its a bit more predictable than older methods used to be. #accessibility#BlindlyCoding#webDev
#Programmer and other tech-savvy friends: I'm blanking. I have a .NET EXE that throws a run-time error that suggests it requires an old version of MS Access to run.
I don't need the program to run as much as I need to see what the program would visually look like (what buttons you're presented with, etc.).
In the past I think I did this using dotPeek by JetBrains, but I'm not seeing any such option there now. Ideas?
As always a #podcast from the Fediverse and to the Fediverse...
Will update and re-draft again but just for speed boost and let's hear what people think.

In #embedded software, the #C#programming language rules—and for many good reasons, too. I have loved C for more than four decades. But I admit that C is woefully dated, inherently unsafe, and imposes a high cognitive load upon the #programmer.
Newer languages vying to knock C off its perch—Rust, Nim, Zig, Odin, etc.—are overly cute and complicated to suit the real-time, embedded work.
The embedded sector needs a new language with C's simplicity, efficiency, semantics, and determinism and Haskell's safety, effectiveness, syntax, and dash.
As a #programmer (#PHP and other) i think the “rollback” work that has been done in #WordPress (and looks like more coming) is very impressive given the complexities and the scope:
The more modest a developer is, the smaller the application version increments. Some indie coders add brilliant new functionality, and change the version from 0.9 to 0.9.1, while corporations often add a few minor improvements once a year, and jump from 1.0 to 2.0.
