CIRCLE WITH A DOT

If anyone wants to recruit a senior R&D code monkey with multiple degrees for a job that will involve neither "AI" bullshit nor "blockchain" bullshit nor "HFT" bullshit nor killing people nor destroying the planet just for the heck of it...I get cheaper and cheaper by the minute as things descend deeper and deeper into nutty "More cloud and more AI will fix it!!" chaos around me.Located in Germany. Will only work remote as we're tied to this place due to aging parental units. Strong preference for something related to actual green technology such as solar.#FediHire #FediHired #Systems #Storage #ProgrammingLanguages #Compilers #GreenTech #Solar #Linux #BSD #Academia #Teaching #noAI #BoostsWelcome

The “maintenance cost nobody budgets for” is the ongoing cognitive load of keeping a system coherent. You can patch the code and replace the hardware, but nobody plans for the sheer mental overhead required to understand what the hell you actually built. #softwareengineering #complexity #systems

Nature is the internet that actually works-distributed, self-healing, and millions of years tested. We treat it like a resource pile instead of the operating system we depend on. Ignoring that resilience is a failure of imagination, not technology. #nature #resilience #systems

preview of a fedwiki plugin I'm working on to create causal loop diagrams.The markup is pretty barebones, and I may yet come to regret it:A +> B creates a positive linkA -> B creates a negative linkAnd you can add a number in square brackets to adjust the effect of the link.Next up is to try to build a visualization to see how these loops influence each other, which can hopefully be a useful tool for teaching.#fedwiki #systems #causalloopdiagrams
