Today's the day Satan

You gave a stranger with no soul and no skin in the game the keys to everything you own.

Accurate.

My lawnmower is cuter than yours

Holy shit, i did it, lol. It looks terrible, but it works.

For people who haven't been keeping up with this project, I've been doing ceramics for a couple years now, and recently people kept tagging me in posts about a European feminist hacker collective that was making circuit boards out of court they dug out of the ground and fired in a campfire.

After having an epiphany about some experimental copper ceramics glazes i made last year, i thought i would see if i could solder to them, and i found that i could.

Sooo ... I made a stamp and stamped out some really basic boards for an astable multivibrator (two blinky lights) circuit. I filled the recessed traces with copper powder and had them fired in our pottery kiln.

Now i have ceramic circuit boards.

"The greatest illusion in modern tech is the daily standup

Every morning, 14 senior engineers join a mandatory Zoom call just to invent new ways to say 'I'm still stuck on the same timeout error as yesterday' while a Scrum Master with zero technical context enthusiastically tries to map our collective dread onto a burndown chart by demanding to know if a 2-line config change is a 5 or an 8 in Fibonacci story points

We aren't writing code anymore. We are just participating in a live-action Jira roleplay"

stop using plastic straws! Anyway, we need like, all of your fresh water, half of your electricity output, the other half made up with gas turbines that will make the air unbreathable in order to build a city-sized datacenter, so that a text generator can feed you more bullshit.
