Quick guys not alot of time left!

Programmer: *through sobs* you can’t just point at a loop and say it’s parallelised…. please….
Rust:

Boss: "What have you been working on?"
Me:

And just as a bonus for today, here you go: v1.0.0 of `libnpm`, the official programmatic API for the npm CLI! It'll keep growing as stuff gets ported, but you can do a lot already!

I just published https://npm.im/libnpmpublish.

This is a *programmatic API* for npm publish and unpublish. You'll still have to pack your own tarball, but it'll take care of the rest. There's even nice docs!

me, crying: you can't keep calling every hosting provider serverless
you, pointing at dreamhost: serverless

HOW TO USE MASTODON, AN EASY GUIDE:
1. see something nice when going about your day
2. write about it
3. revel in the fact that we are all just people
4. give emotional support and validation to others who write about that nice thing they saw today

tired: gender binary
wired: building gender from source

It always pains me when I see fellow software developers call other projects "shit."

Especially when the "shit" represents man-decades of hard work, like a browser or an OS.

C'mon. If you don't know how hard this stuff is, then you're a n00b.

Sure, we can always find fault and call everything shit, but is that kind of venting making anything better?

Maybe it makes you feel better, but every time we indulge in this kind of thing we're making tech a more hostile place to work and/or play.

Today's XKCD seems particularly relevant with all the machine learning focus at #io17 :p https://toot.cafe/media/SgsAAImcXjFSEWsv-ro

Always help your friend 😊
