The core here is: - I am accepting work - If you are doing open source stuff, a hobby project, etc. I'm $25/hour. - If you're a tech company, I'm $125/hour. - If you're a small business, etc, I'm in between those two numbers, but closer to the hobby number. - I can do lots of weird computer bullshit, and I can contract out to people I already work with and trust for the small number of things I can't do myself. - Initial discussions are free, and I'll quote the whole project up front. - I'd rather do weird BS for individuals than corporate stuff for corporations.

Attached: 4 images looking at the night sky is one of my fav things, so i was so pleased i got to see the northern lights tonight! i live in the city, but the little park next to my flat has a pretty dark corner where juno and i stargaze often, so we managed to see them there 😌

Want to take a vacation from open source maintenance? You should. Did you know that GitHub has a profile status feature to mark yourself as busy, mute notifications, and prompt folks who mention you that you're busy for a while? Before today the longest (optional) "automatically clear this status" preset was a week. Now the longest preset is a month. Because let's face it, a week is not always a long enough break from the demands of other people. #OpenSource #GitHub #OSS

I do wish I could tell recruiters that I’ll never apply to a company that reports record profits and also lays people off. Like why are we wasting each others time talking about corporate mottos and exciting projects? Your leadership treats people like disposable cups. That’s all I need to know. #tech #layoffs

Attached: 1 image Jack Dorsey is furious that #Bluesky has attracted "very very common" people. He also doesn't like the idea of moderation tools facilitating the banning of racists. All these tech billionaires are like a version of the movie Big, in which a pre-adolescent boy wakes up in the body of an aging Howard Hughes. Or Colonel Kurtz. Or a sardine. #JackDorsey

today my therapist tried to help me brainstorm potential personal interests, because I said I'm doing nothing because I did it all when I was manic he said music, and I told him about how I play the electric guitar, got into synths, and worked for a music production company he said school, and I told him I have three degrees already and on and on eventually he said "maybe you just like trains or something" and I started showing him photos of all my train trips he was like 😩

Okay so I was HEAVILY involved in that wedding ceremony. Sit here, do this, present the rings, sign the blah blah. “James will now do XYZ” I keep being taken away by a photographer to do personal shots with bride and groom. I guess like, I’m important to the Bride? Like… really important? And it took “present the rings to me and the guy who is gonna be my husband in three minutes time, in front of 50 of our friends and family” for my autistic ass to begin to comprehend.
