Last night, my wife and I watched a movie named Civil War. It’s a terrible movie starring Kirsten Dunst. The opening scene is clearly meant to show Donald Trump making a “third term” speech about how they are moments away from utter victory over the secessionists in California, Texas, and Florida. The rest of the movie is, one horrible violent sequence after another, including indiscriminate shootings, setting people on fire, hangings, torture, and all manner of disgusting depravities committed by rural white conservatives. The movie ends with a battle at the White House culminating in a fire fight in the oval office where they finally tear the prone president from behind the resolute desk, goad him to him beg for his life, and then shoot him in cold blood. It takes a certain kind of hateful, sick mind to put a film like that together. And that sickness is also in evidence in California, at a “social justice academy”, where for twenty grand they’ll teach your 3rd through 6th grader, lies like this.
I love what I do. Every day I wake up ready to do more. I am so grateful to be a programmer.
You may have missed it, in the VP debate, but Walz used the phrase "You can't shout fire in a crowded theater." while trying to parry Vance's criticism of Harris' position on free speech. The irony is, of course, delicious. The sheer ignorance that our politicians have for our history is tragic.
"There has to be a responsibility that is placed upon these social media sites that they understand their power. They are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation; and that has to stop." -- Kamala Harris. Oh no! Directly speaking? We can't have that! What the people hear must be regulated and overseen by...by...
Mayorkas says he’s out of FEMA funds. Why? Because Biden/Harris raided $1B from that fund for services for migrants. Americans last.
Isn’t it interesting how little we know about the shooter in Butler?
Dark matter, just got very interesting.
File this question under "Unintended Consequences". How much of our electricity would now be generated by efficient and safe Nuclear power plants if the environmentalists, and the government, hadn't mucked everything up?
I find it fascinating, and frustrating, that the YouTube algorithm thinks it knows what I want to watch; and is inevitably, and persistently, wrong.
This is a note from a young woman programmer in Pakistan who is hoping to join a wider network of fellow programmers. Write to her. Encourage her. Even just a "Hi Maria" would help to make her day. cc:@KentBeck Hello Everyone! I’m Maria Zulfiqar. Senior Software Developer and Technical Lead. Today, I’d like to share my story with you. Over the last 11 years, I've worked my way up to becoming a Senior Software Developer and Technical Lead, through countless challenges and countless hours of learning, coding, and problem-solving. Basically! I started my life in a village and, thankfully, I've reached a destination. However, I know this is not my final goal. I believe I have the potential to achieve something new and bigger. After all, what is impossible with hard work? Migrating from village, I earned a place in my new school, built respect, and even received salutes from my teachers. It wasn’t easy, especially with the challenges of a village education. I became a top student and after that graduated with BS in Computer Science. Along the way, I worked and had the honor of being a guest speaker in several live technical sessions. I even had the incredible opportunity to meet Uncle Bob and Kent Beck online in one-on-one sessions. Is there any greater luck than that? From zero to here! Today, I am a Senior Developer, and I owe it all to the opportunities that came my way. My parents did their best to support me. But this is not my stopping point. I want to move forward and connect with those who embrace ideas and growth. I want to surround myself with people who are open to trying new things, who listen to your voice, and who don’t silence it. Anyone who is agreed to O Yes! Let’s try that. Let’s do something New. (e.g. Let’s do it.! Yes! Try TDD) I’m eager to Meeting those I admire, whose knowledge I'm passionate about learning from, and meeting them is a dream. Right now, I feel like I'm trapped in a cage, and through my story, I hope to break free, just as Uncle Bob has inspired me to do. I need people who will give me a chance to achieve something greater. There’s a fire of passion burning inside me, but the environment around me doesn’t nurture it Now, as I look beyond borders, I'm seeking an opportunity to bring my expertise to a new environment, where I can grow, collaborate, and contribute on a global scale. It’s not just about a job, it’s about finding a place where I can truly make an impact while embracing new ideas. My belief is that whatever you do, you should take it to the highest level, push the limits, and don’t stop until you’ve achieved something you’re truly proud of. My biggest wish in life is to meet Uncle Bob and Kent Beck in person. I have a deep admiration for United States people, as I have been working with them as well, and many of whom I connect with on LinkedIn. I simply believe that in the right environment, I could achieve something even greater. Once I tried Bug Bounty Hunting and through hardwork protected many companies from serious bugs and earned HALL OF FAME from them. What’s impossible with determination?
