It’s official: I’ve wrapped up 6 years working with the best team of my career at System Initiative. I’d like to thank Adam Jacob, Mahir Lupinacci, and Alex Ethier for putting their trust in me and being their first employee hire. 1/4

Have you started trying it out yet? I’d actually been poking at creating something conceptually similar (platform for using Claude/Ollama) as a kind of digital personal assistant. From trying it out so far, this might actually do enough of what I was looking for that I might drop what I’d started.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Zach is very wise, and is absolutely correct here. Immigration is an objective good. His book "Open Borders" is *great*. You should read it.

The basis of all this anti-immigration BS is blatant racism, and a fascist desire to use that to manipulate the population.

After a little over 4 years, my time with @systeminit.com comes to a close today. I'm going to be taking a little time off before seriously looking for my next thing, but if you're looking for a Principal level engineer working in Rust, then we should talk. #rustdev #fedihired #opentowork

GitHub - systeminit/si: The System Initiative software The System Initiative software. Contribute to systeminit/si development by creating an account on GitHub.

We’ve been using it for a while at work github.com/systeminit/si and as Steve already mentioned reindeer is a huge help. @fnichol.com and @nickgerace.dev would probably be better suited to speak about any specific issues we ran into getting it all set up, though.

radical take here but i think that running out of money shouldnt put you in absolute misery actually.

Running out of money at worst should make you unable to buy luxuries. You cant buy a TV, gaming PC, whatever.

Running out of money should never make you homeless, starving, or unable to see

My following feed is for _me_. It's how I keep in touch with things _I_ am interested in. If I follow you, it's because I am interested in what you have to say and want to see more of it. If I unfollow, it's because I don't. I know there are parasocial implications but genuinely it's that simple.
