We're going to open your database by default, but PLEASE remember to secure it later! Footgun deployed successfully.

You don't get to choose when you ultimately go in a free country. You must stay alive and work so the rest of us can be free of the guilt that we let you down.

Hmm, does Ukraine know that Russia is watching the Ministry of Digital Transformation's meetings?

Pages with personality like that are not just examples of how bad UX can be, they are examples of how UX can be used as an artistic form of self-expression.

A lot of smaller organizations really struggle to collaborate with their software teams. Collaboration is hard, in general, but especially so if the organization isn't fluent and competent in software product development. Before you go diving into the psychology of your sad and despondent software team, look around them. Are the people working with them capable of supporting and engaging with these engineers?

For a hot second there I was really excited to learn about historical telegram "data centers".

It's a capital T.

I think the last time I tried Deno for desktop it didn't allow for fullscreen webview apps. that was a showstopper for our kiosk apps. I'll have to revisit that issue and see if it's resolved now. I'm glad to see Deno continuing to march on.

Yes but don't we still try to control brush fires so they don't burn down neighborhoods?

or are you setting the scene for well-meaning technocrats to back unrestricted AI development in hopes it will bring about utopia while dismissing the damage it could cause in the hands of adversarial groups?

| When the people who built and operated your cloud would rather knead dough than touch a terminal again, that’s not a career pivot. That’s a trauma response.

Yes it is and I'm glad someone has said it. I didn't realize it until now.

I'm building an operational dashboard for solo entrepreneurs in the collectibles market.

Most of the people in this space are tech illiterate, but I think that's going to change when they start to age out.

The next generation of antique dealers and collectibles market curators are going to need tools built for them.

I only entered the space 6 months ago after inheriting some old vintage travel and tourism material. I was lured in! I've spent the last 15 years of my tech career working on custom built systems that are perfectly suited and tailored to my needs and the needs of my team.

As soon as I started shopping on ebay, checking comps on worthpoint, browsing for auctions on liveauctioneers, manually searching hathitrust and other institutions for research... I started to want to build my own tools immediately.

I don't want 15 different dashboards. I want one. So, I plan to leverage my technical background and expertise in building systems to hopefully enable me outmaneuver other dealers and curators.

I hope to build custom intake pipelines. There's a keyword crisis in the collectibles market. If the seller doesn't put the right keyword in their listing, or the buyer doesn't put the right keyword in their search query, the two never meet. I look for very specific types of old vintage travel and tourism material, and I have to manage a list of hundreds of search terms in order just to find one specific type of item. They are out there, they're just hidden and unaccessible.

I'm getting into old maps, books, and ephemera - mostly travel and tourism related stuff. I'm also currently researching old printing methods like lithography and letterpress. I recently purchased my first rubber brayer, some cotton-rag paper, some ink, and a 1930's letterpress plate. I hope to have my first pulls this weekend if time allows.

If you want America on board, get the people on board. Tell them why it's a good idea to stop driving their car. I'm not saying this to be snarky, but that's what it's going to take.
