re #introduction time!I'm Austin, a Senior Software Engineer at a #SaaS company that develops project and task scheduling #software. I mainly work on the #API and #backend using #Kotlin and #Springboot but occasionally stray into the #react #frontend. I used to do #fullstack development and am very familiar with #javascript, #java, and #angular / #angularJS.

I'm a big advocate for #mentalhealth and education. I've been known to call people out on spreading bad information and grifting in bad faith.There is a good chance I'll be posting cat picture, flying pictures, and random tidbits from various programming things I'm exploring. I'm also about to build an RV-10 airplane so there will be plenty of that. Drop by and say hello!

@pganssle @nova My understanding is that qoto federates with undesirable instances. So while qoto itself is fine, it leads to less fine content coming though. I actually moved from qoto because I couldn't follow my friends on other instances

I'm sliding from "run my own mastodon instance" to "write my own server software" a little too quickly.

@dltq Well in my case I just looked at the spec and went "Nah, too much to learn right now" 😜

@thor @dltq My understanding was that Lisp is a write only language (as in, you never read it again once written)

I just realized I haven't seen any conspiracy theory nonsense since leaving Twitter and Facebook. So nice here :blob_cat_snug:

@BrianJopek My spin is that stubbornness to not seek help is weakness. Or to put it another way, seeking help is brave because you are being vulnerable on purpose which is strong.I 100% agree that counseling needs to be destigmatized and I try to advocate that way all the time. The world is hard, getting help is not a failure but a step to success. Not seeking help when it would be beneficial is the failure.

It's wild how whenever society talks about paying labor more money companies will say they can't afford it but never provide their financial documents backing up that claim. There's also something funny you notice if you look into publicly traded companies finances and it's that they totally could afford it.What I'm getting at is it's a shame companies are used as a vehicle to exploit labor and move wealth only up

I worked at a company that proudly proclaimed they made a record profit for the year. Then they cancelled bonuses and gave everyone very small raises during annual reviews. They were claiming they made record profits but also couldn't afford to pay us more. That's wild

This same company also cut everyone's pay by 5% at the start of the pandemic. Managers they cut by 7.5%(they claimed). Top level execs? They wouldn't say. All they said is "substantial" but would never elaborate. It turns out they didn't lose business like they expected to and eventually restored pay. They did not, however, offer any backpay or any other benefit.So basically, they just stole everyone's wages for 9 months and then pretended like they didn't.

When I called them out on this behavior they would always emotionally abuse me about it. Act like I'm an idiot or somehow don't understand the complexity of business. They would not ever show me any documentation about what they were doing though. I was denied any request I made for them to prove it.Somehow they were surprised when I quit and cited them as being untrustworthy and, in my opinion, criminal.

Furthermore, it is interesting how they don't have money for raises (or even paying our full salaries) but as soon as I put in my notice they tried to counter offer. Oh, so you do have the money all of a sudden, you're just being a greedy asshole.

Every year I have to spray my mailbox for a wasp nest that they insist on building and this year is no different. A never ending war where I kill a bunch of wasps and they don't care I guess and just come back to die again.

The plan is set. The attack will begin at night while the enemy sleeps

First strike was carried out at 22:10 local time and we can confirm the target was hit and likely unaware of the impending strike. High value target was observed inside earlier and likely has been neutralized. More information will become available when the sun rises.
