“WHO DARES AWAKEN ME FROM MY AEONS-LONG SLUMBER?!”

“Yes, very good, excellent delivery, forgive me for not laughing, but you’re the sixth one today. You girls should have workshopped your jokes together before going into stasis”

“Oh. Ah? How long have we got until the big 10k, and how are my investments doing? And do you still have updog in the future?”

“It’s 2288, forget about year ten thousand we’ve got bigger problems. Your investments tanked in the quantum wars. And nice try but the last corpsicle got me with that one”

“Fuck. What now?”

“Asteroid impact is what
now”

“Cool, and you need programmers to calculate how to divert it.”

“Nope, we did that already.”

“And that worked?”

“Noooooot as such, no. Typo in the value of the gravitational constant.”

“Woopsy, so you need a cadre of 21st century digital girls to brainstorm a last minute plan B?”

“Nope, plan B worked just fine, the folks at the Indonesian moon base worked an incantation to kick the Earth a day forward in time, while the asteroid sailed through the empty spot. Well mostly fine; I can’t get used to the month being four days longer now.”

“Aha! You need us to work out how to get the moon back in orbit?”

“No, we’ll live with that. We need you to fix the timezone data files”

@jonn I should try one of those one of these days, how much could it cost? 10 dollars?

🍔 Random aside: My coworkers and I triage an average of 50 to 150 customer feedback tickets per day.

Sentiment ranges from "love the product" praise, to borderline verbal abuse. One in particular stuck in my mind. Paraphrased, it went like this.

> "You should quit programming and flip burgers instead."

👨‍🍳 In fact, I was actually quite good at flipping burgers. At 19 years old, I was on track to become an assistant restaurant manager at Hardee's.

🏊‍♂️ But life took a different turn. I pivoted to being a lifeguard and swim instructor. Then eventually meandered into tech as a career.

Alas, what might have been.

My daughter is collecting data on people's pineapple on pizza preferences, if you would be so kind as to answer, this will help to move us past this impasse, even if there is some bandwagoning involved

Samples from asteroid Bennu contain A, G, C, T & U nucleotide bases, and 14 of 20 amino acids used by life — but while we use only left-handed versions of these molecules, Bennu has a roughly equal L/R mixture, puncturing theories that the bias on Earth came from an initial cosmic seeding.

Have you ever wondered why Germans didn’t do anything about Hitler? Well, the rest of the world is wondering exactly that about Americans and Trump.

Hi!

I'm Adrian, a FullStack #Developer looking for a job either in #Québec (or from it if you allow for remote work), with a permanent and open visa

I have experience building and maintaining web apps and APIs, designing systems, doing #DevOps and a bit of #BigData, #MachineLearning and #IoT

I'm experienced using #Elixir, #Phoenix, #LiveView, #NodeJS, #TypeScript, #Fastify, #Express and #Python ; and on the DevOps side in CI/CD pipelines (either #GithubActions and Gitlab CI/CD), #Docker and a bit of #Kubernetes

I was tasked with a lot of the #innovation happening in my previous company, researching tools, librairies, patterns or general technologies either for our own #DeveloperExperience or for our products

I also wrote a lot of technical and non technical documentation and internal presentations, and even participated in a few meetups. You can read some of my writing on my blog: https://blog.adrianc.eu

You might also have seen me on a few Elixir-related Discord servers, or even Bluesky (@adrianc.eu) and Twitter ; either sharing tech news, helping people, reading in book clubs or just chatting

I’m open to full-time right now, contracting work can be discussed.

I'm looking for any developer position, not only #ElixirLang, even though it represents most of my experience. And if the technology you're using isn't on my resume, give me a chance! I'm a fast learner and I might anyway have studied it in class :P

DM me for more info, like github link, my resume or anything :)

Boosts, responses and DM welcome, of course!

"Back then, #Hitler wanted to kill me because I am Jewish. Now #Putin is trying to kill me because I am Ukrainian", a 88-year-old Holocaust survivor Roman #Schwarzman said in a powerful address to the German #Bundestag during the annual Holocaust remembrance ceremony
