…and you have just opened up a whole new pit of horror for me. Thanks. 😱

Okay, I just got off the phone with a tech recruiter and I have some pretty deep frustrations with how this went on many axes. Tech recruiters, please read this thread - especially if you're in a "diversity & inclusion" team.

Writing 100 lines of code in an hour isn't a useful skill to test for. The best solutions often involve writing only a small amount of code to clue existing, good code together in a useful way. Understanding how stuff works and being able to tie things together is way more useful

I'm at the point of my life where I hoard security keys to give away to anyone I know/meet who needs to lock down their online accounts, and plushies + storybooks as gifts for friends who have children. No regrets.

Also h/t @aaronpk because I'm working through OAuth 2.0 simplified right now and it's refreshingly well-organized as a tour :)

The #IndieWeb wiki-docs are excellent.

Feels like how I wish a lot of api-docs read.

I'd love for a feature that allowed close friends to moderate your feed before it gets to you

It's much less upsetting to see unwarranted rudeness directed at someone else. A close friend would know how to filter the worst of it on your behalf without as strong an emotional hit
