While I agree that the opsec here is bad if nyancrimew doesn’t want to get arrested, I think you should disclose here, as you do in your twitter bio, that you work at Okta. Accusing the person who just breached your company of having a mental illness is not great form.

It would be nice to have a bit more detail about the equity part of the total compensation, since it does seem like, from reading the paragraph describing how equity fits into this, that the amount of equity granted to employees is not equal.

I believe they had to release their source code in order to comply with the AGPL, because they forked off mastodon right? I’m not sure if they decided to go with mastodon as the basis for their codebase in the beginning or if that was a later decision.

The number and variety of knots “rationalists” will tie themselves into when trying to explain away the existence of discrimination and organized structures for enforcing that discrimination is really funny, and sad, and absurd.

Have you tried the vscode-neovim (https://github.com/asvetliakov/vscode-neovim) extension? It uses an instance of neovim to provide the vim behaviour rather than emulating it, and I’ve found it to be more responsive than VsCodeVim.

It’s an alternative interface to Reddit, not a new site with different moderation rules.

I love that extension so much.

Haha I use VSCode set up with Spacemacs keybindings...that way I get the best (and worst) of all 3 worlds (:

Are you Chinese or visibly East Asian?

It’s easy to say this until you’ve had someone yell this at you on the street in order to harass you.

Just call it something else. It’s not that hard. There are lots of diseases from lots of other places that we somehow manage to refer to without tying it to the place from which it originated, or from which people think it originated.

I am not sure if you got the point of the linked story.

The C++ appointment software is a trivial fun side project. The point is that she had to quit her terrible job to even get into the right headspace to do anything useful on this trivial fun side project.

Besides, have you never written anything for a side project that scratches a personal itch that hadn’t already been done dozens of times in better ways?

I find her stories illuminating and well written. Sometimes we spend lots of time on things that we realize could have been done in much simpler ways. Sometimes we make mistakes that we later realize are super dumb. It happens to everyone who writes software for a living. I’m happy that Rachel writes about the messy stuff. We need more “from the trenches” stories like hers.
