This was prompted by people calling the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad “Nazi propaganda” and I cannot emphasize this enough: if, for Twitter clout, you pretend cool, attractive women are aping Nazi aesthetics, you are only going to create more young men who self-ID as Nazis.

Three separate wedding celebrations in NYC, Dubai, and Uganda. It is always the same with these champagne socialists. It is remarkable how many avowed socialists during my undergrad in Trinity spent their study breaks skiing.

The tea app developers watching yall blame men instead of them for their shitty app security
i'm not saying that i'm like pro that tea app or whatever, but i do think it says a lot like "we made an app to help women share information about dangerous men" and the men's response to this was to get so upset they hacked it and publically posted everyone's gov id
Hear me out: what if we add breaks to bicycles
Who’s at fault here?
Spoke too soon

Firebase considered harmful - as are any similar implementations It takes quite serious domain knowledge to secure these kinds of implementations and for what gain? To avoid writing a backend? Waste of time.
Two things are true at the same time. The easier it is for anyone to create software: 1. The more novel apps we’ll see that go viral (eg this app that lets women post pictures of men they’re dating for feedback) 2. The more viral apps will be terrible privacy leaks. Like this:

The Tea app has been hacked, and you can go download 59.3 gigabytes of user selfies right now. The hack is real. A picture from someone I know who signed up just to see what was on there was in it. This was an obviously vibe-coded app and was bound to be insecure.
I shared this with you in confidence what the fuck

LLM’s are the final nail in the coffin for untyped JavaScript. It’s over. Grow up and use types.
this aged well, I stand by this. default everything to typescript now. plain js is now the minority, and shrinking.
I don’t know if zoomers know this but there used to be a real shitty magazine called gawker. They published hogans sex tape & refused to take it down, he was broke at the time and they had a good enough legal team to bully him into submission. Unfortunately for gawker -🧵
