At #AtmosphereConf today, I'll be talking about our work at @anew.social building Bridgy, breaking down walls, and centering people, not platforms.

Hope to see you at Great Hall South @ 4pm 🌐

what’s refreshing about #atmosphereconf is how interdisciplinary the subjects and speakers are - it’s not all code but instead showcasing the roles of scientists, journalists and creators. the community is multi-faceted and have a shared interest in combatting misinformation and abuse.

Finished reading Metaprogramming Ruby 2, what a cool book and what nice vibes it has. I've learned some metaprogramming spells that apply to Ruby and a bit of rails history.

While software development is a bit rocky these days. Hardware verification engineers seem to have their golden age. I keep on hearing stories about interviews that are a 30 minutes discussion and 100k+ salaries. Wonder if AI will change their field too.
