The most frustrating thing about building software is the feeling that I'm building sand castles that will eventually get wiped away. It takes a staggering amount of effort *just to keep software running exactly the same as before*. Not to add improvements! Not to fix bugs! Just to keep it working exactly the same as it once did. It's maddening if you want to have a sense of personal pride at something you built years ago. Your "legacy" is nonexistent, unless you stay on the treadmill.

Wow, June 2019 was the hottest on record and greater than 2°C above the 1981-2010 climate average in Europe. The average global temperature was also the highest on record.

Slow clap now, please!
Too little, too late.
An inconvenient truth is that we must move away from flying right now to other forms of transport. There must be no expansion of flying anywhere.

More than 100 wildfires in the Arctic Circle released 50 megatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in June.
They're still burning. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qv79b5/unprecedented-wildfires-are-burning-across-the-arctic-circle?utm_source=vicetwitterus

The UN summit in september and COP25 in december, it looks like a large part of our future will probably be decided in New York and Santiago. I’ve been invited. And I’ve decided to go.
The tricky part is getting there without flying.
I haven’t solved that yet..

Canada declares national #ClimateEmergency.
It’s great that more countries and regions are doing this. But remember:The fossil fuels must stay in the ground. Forget “climate neutral” and clever accounting. Our emissions must start their way to zero. Now. https://globalnews.ca/news/5401586/canada-national-climate-emergency/

Meat and dairy, particularly from cows, have an outsize impact, with livestock accounting for around 14.5 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases each year. That’s roughly the same amount as the emissions from all the cars, trucks, airplanes and ships combined in the world today. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/04/30/dining/climate-change-food-eating-habits.html #climatestrike #climatechange #climateemergency
