The number one thing I've been hearing from people in tech lately is, basically, "How the hell am I supposed to work in this industry anymore?" Though most folks are kind of afraid to say it out loud. So I wrote about how to think about it: www.anildash.com/2026/01/05/a...

Retweet Godzilla for no reason.
the Python Software Foundation is foregoing a large NSF grant that would have been contingent on their agreeing to terminate their diversity and inclusion initiatives and given the feds the ability to cripple them financially for refusing to comply

Happy birthday to Alan Turing: father of Computer Science and gay icon.

I wonβt share RFK Jr.βs lies about autism.
Itβs disgusting and dangerous.
If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nationβs greatness.
To every kid with autism, Iβm in this fight all the way for you.
I support the rights of people to choose books that are appropriate for their families. No level of government should dictate the reading materials available to citizens of the United States.

Guess whatttttt I'm hiring engineers for my team (accessibility engineering) and one of my immediate peers is also hiring for Primer, our design system! We are looking for earlier-in-career folks as Software Engineer IIs, to best complement and round out our teams. githubinc.jibeapply.com/jobs/3987
Is anyone out there collecting a list of #techjobs posted by non-profits/503c tech companies that are hiring?
Basically like the many remote-first job boards out there, but for companies that aren't financially driven to be evil?

KOSA is dead (for now.)
Long live trans youth.
We live to fight another day.
I'm sorry, mastodon has its faults for sure but people here blow it way out of proportion in a way that is self defeating
Repost if your profile is LGBTQ+ safe. π³οΈβπ
Take a minute or less from your day to show solidarity with your trans brothers, sisters and partners and sign this petition campaign to get BlueSky to ban a known and documented creep from its site and enforce its ToS. His active presence here makes this app unsafe for everyone.
βοΈ Call House leadership directly at 202-519-4583 or find a script at fftf.link/KOSAsneakattack and urge them to block this censorship sneak attack. KOSA should stay dead!
Every time you repost this kitty a transphobic state legislator dies
Post a video game gif from the year you were born
Running so fast that Neko can't keep up!

On todayβs Trans Day of Remembrance, I want to reiterate the the majority of the so called βtrans agendaβ (and the LGBTQIA+ one for the that matter) is staying alive long enough to argue over whoβs doing the washing up. Itβs that ordinary.
