Maybe this is a good time to announce that I also raised a $15M series A, and it will be spent entirely on bots that reply "have you tried jj" on every article about git that appears on hacker news

It's interesting that in the US _____ dealer always has a negative connotation:

Arms dealer
Car dealer

I wanna talk to other marginalised/underrepresented folks in tech who are in leadership positions (either by role, responsibilities or simply because you got to) about the shit we have to deal with day after day.
Is there already a community like that out there?

I feel like word problems in math class would've been a lot more realistic if they just started describing random stuff, included *mostly* irrelevant detail, and then never clearly state any sort of question at all.

Good guess! Doing a crazy project attempting to use buck2 and nix to make building the runtimes + browsers we build a bit more sane. Clang is the default toolchain for buck2, so I wanted to see how hard it would be to use that for everything since we already use it for macOS. It's hard haha

ugh yeah in this case it was the difference between how clang and gcc handle inline assembly πŸ₯΄

*Technically* I got paid to write assembly this week.

Did I know what I was doing? No.

Did it work? Also no.
