A reminder that your personal devices don't have to, and in fact probably should not, have work apps installed on them. If your work needs you to have mobile access, they should provide you with a device. Otherwise stop polluting your personal stuff with work.
A reminder that your personal devices donβt have to show notifications from work apps. Put your work stuff down when work finishes.

Great thread from the creator of Dogecoin.
IMO the Ponzi scheme is on the verge of falling apart. My fear is when it does, it's going to take the rest of the financial system with it and cause the next large recession.

I'm generally, personally, tired of waiting for companies to start providing @rustlang drivers for their hardware. End-users (companies writing applications) fund some work, everything else is OSS work.
What's the best way to short-circuit this? (RT's wanted, details below!)

Why is it that whenever I think of a new fun project to do, I end up in a spiral maze of "Why has nobody thought about and then written up this $glaring_problem" ?

The best thing about being a senior engineer is you get to encourage others earlier on their journey to do things, be confident and explore things, under the shelter of "I said you can do it, and if it breaks its on me".
That is an IC super power, and it behooves you to use it!

If one of my engineers ever tries to do this, I will forcibly remove their work laptop from their posession.

Can we please stop calling trans rights a βcontentious issueβ and making it sound as if thereβs some valid debate to be had. Gender criticals and terfs are simply transphobes with no moral, scientific or logical leg to stand on.
