Why does all #software insist on being your buddy these days?
Can we go back to the old days where instead of trying to slide into your DMs, and be your best frend, software was a recalcitrant old hag in a back alley who spat out an obscure error code that at least when you looked it up in a knowledge base told you exactly what you had done wrong and what, if anything, you could do about it? This…

I'm a Senior #Software Engineer with 20 years of professional experience.
I'm based in the USA and looking for #remote work.
I have primarily worked with web technologies such as #JavaScript

The product triad is obsolete. The ideal software development team actually has four members:
#tech #agile #softwaredevelopment

It's not a language or a framework that I ever use, but I think that "don't be too clever" is one of the most important rules that every software developer should abide by.

Multi-Modal Vision vs. Text-Based Parsing: Benchmarking LLM Strategies for Invoice Processing
This paper benchmarks eight multi-modal large language models from three families (GPT-5, Gemini 2.5, and open-source Gemma 3) on three diverse openly available invoice document datasets using zero-shot prompting. We compare two processing strategies: direct image processing using multi-modal capabilities and a structured parsing approach converting documents to markdown first. Results show native image processing generally outperforms structured approaches, with performance varying across mode…

I'd really like to find a way to migrate a domain (and existing account & posts) between two pieces Fediverse server software, keeping all post urls.
Not the existing Move feature - that assumes new & old servers are running in parallel at different urls.
I want to take a backup from Mastodon, stop the server, convert all the toots to some common format, start up GoToSocial, and import. Without losing reply glue on old toots or spamming.

New #blog post: Setting up #Gnome (Linux) for #seniors. I've been looking into how to best set up an extremely simplified and limited #Linux for #elderly people. There don't seem to be many pre-existing efforts for this, so I figured I'd write a short blog about it.
#Mastodon as a #comment system for all my #blog posts. A reaction to this Mastodon post will show up as a comment.
