Finland's Social Insurance Institution is hiring a Java developer. The person in the picture is probably their vision of a programmer: working in a meeting room looking focused or depressed and... using a notebook under the mouse.

I think this describes the position very accurately.

Think 2020 has been bad? Brace yourselves for the December.

Imagine contributing to an open-source project where you can just launch the editor from the Code dropdown menu like this. No cloning, installing, or other shenanigans.

Good day! Have you given any thought about joining the Church of Holy Dudeness on this fine Sunday?

I imagine these boomer uncles won't even send their code in pull requests because they *know* how things work - unlike we millennials.

PSA: Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

You can badmouth tax administration, but be prepared to suffer a devastating meme attack!

Monday, funday... right?

Thanks, Git 2.28. https://github.blog/2020-07-27-highlights-from-git-2-28/

Ever wondered why flies are doing all that rubbing? Maybe you haven't watched close enough.

Gatsby dependency ecosystem is a burning mess with its plugins constantly updating. 20+ PRs a day is not something I want to commit my spare time.

So, Dependabot 💔 Gatsby.

The Simpsons have had their flaws (don't even mention Apu), but some of these shots are just too spot on.

Bring it on.

Good day all. The Ministry of Good Music would like to remind you that this is still the definitive punk album. Worship none other albums.

I've often wondered why images look horribly cropped on Mastodon until expanded. Turns out, I had this option checked.

Now my timeline images look a LOT better. 👏

Just learned that you can hover over an RGB hexstring in VS Code, and it will show you a handy color picker modal. Seems to have been there since 2017. Nice.

As someone who has lately sunk into frontend development again, it's damn true.

I have the highest respect for all you CSS wizards. Backend development is child's play.

Enjoying this experimental flag very much, thank you. 🔥

🔥 If you're experimenting with functions and can't be bothered to install a test framework you can use Golang-style table-driven testing.

Useful and easy to convert to real test code if needed.

Example in TypeScript. 👇

Do you need a degree in computer science to be a good programmer?
