I was one of several people hired to a team that dangled a single promotion in front of us. I had enough self awareness to know I wasn’t in the race but man this one guy did so much brown nosing it was actually embarrassing and ultimately he lost out on it.

Right now I’m just using it for an AirGradient dashboard, which is an open hardware / open software air quality monitor. I used claude to rewrite the firmware to send the data to prometheus instead if their own servers, and countless other frustrating changes because they make the whole operation dependent on a connection to their servers…anyway, I didn’t want to pay a subscription for something so simple. I’ve thought about using it for some other projects, but for a lot of stuff I just don’t see the need for a dedicated dash.

So I guess they managed to hack deeper than the employment records afterall. You can absolutely never trust the first reporting on breaches.

Can I take the over on diarrhea epidemics on Kalshi? This country went from Hope and Change to resembling a Paul Verhoeven movie so fast I have whiplash.
