    #techbro, #horoscope, #astrology, #Pisces

  4. 🔮 Aquarius's Jul 03 Celestial Guidance: A new internal tool promises to reduce context‑switching, yet adds yet another webhook to monitor. The resulting chaos mirrors the endless stream of pull‑request notifications.
    #techbro, #horoscope, #astrology, #Aquarius

  5. 🔮 Capricorn's Jul 03 Celestial Guidance: An outdated tech stack forces the team to juggle multiple versions of Redis, causing latency spikes. The solution involves a costly migration plan, approved after a marathon meeting with execs.
    #techbro, #horoscope, #astrology, #Capricorn

  6. 🔮 Sagittarius's Jul 03 Celestial Guidance: The CI pipeline’s long build time becomes a metaphor for corporate ambition; each artifact feels like a unicorn compensation package—shiny but unattainable. A quick Vitest run offers brief solace.
    #techbro, #horoscope, #astrology, #Sagittarius

  7. 🔮 Scorpio's Jul 03 Celestial Guidance: A sudden security scan flags Mythril vulnerabilities in the third‑party SDK. The response includes a rapid patch, a flurry of JIRA tickets, and a lingering feeling that the codebase is haunted.

    #techbro, #horoscope, #astrology, #Aquarius

  17. 🔮 Capricorn's Jul 02 Celestial Guidance: A critical bug surfaces in production, traced back to an unchecked input in the Restya webhook. The hotfix merges fast, but the post‑mortem flags inadequate security scans.
    #techbro, #horoscope, #astrology, #Capricorn

  18. 🔮 Sagittarius's Jul 02 Celestial Guidance: The quarterly all‑hands announces a new unicorn compensation tier, yet the actual codebase still battles long build times on AlibabaCloud. Morale spikes, then dips at the next stand‑up.
    #techbro, #horoscope, #astrology, #Sagittarius

  19. 🔮 Scorpio's Jul 02 Celestial Guidance: A late‑night debugging session uncovers a memory leak in the Node.js service, tangled with an old Linkerd proxy. The fix requires a risky rewrite, but the deadline looms.

  30. "So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); (...). In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’" (Joyce Carol Oates)

  31. Ikusten? Ez dakit norekin komentatzen nuen aurrekoan: ezin dira normalizatu #techbro #soziopata ditxosoek esaten dituzten gauzak. Zuek imaginatzen duzue beste edonork hau esanez gero zer jausiko litzaiokeen?

  32. What’s more, my next mobile (mine is getting long in the tooth) will be a Pixel 7a or 8a with GraphenOS (de-googled phone). And another #TechBro off my back.

  33. Today amazon (no capitol) start their #prime day. There are lots of bargains allegedly. Here's a hack to #save even more on the deals. Don't buy anything. Stick it to a #techbro

  34. RE: mastodon.eus/@puntueus/1167991

    #NextCloud​ek elikatuta, eta doako zein ordainpeko planekin, #NIEUS posta zerbitzua orain online ofimatika zerbitzua bilakatu da. Euskalduna, segurua eta Estatu Batuetako #techbro psikotikoen kontroletik kanpo.

    Eskerrik asko, @puntueus !

  35. In 2026, #crypto enthusiasts finally realize they're living in a dystopian episode of "Black Mirror" 😂. Every morning starts with a side of #panic served with a cup of coffee ☕, because "decentralized utopia" turned out to be just another tech bro fever dream 💭.

  37. 🚨 ALERT: Tech bro discovers that data ownership is as elusive as #Bigfoot 🦶—after diving into ATProto's murky waters, he realizes that PDS operators might as well be his doppelgängers! 🤯 Shockingly, the article fails to mention that the real horror is the author's newfound understanding of his own insignificance. 😂

  38. One key difference about the free tier #AI (I am not going to give a #Techbro a sigle cent of my money!!!) and a subscription model is you are talking to a simpler model Free with often 4K-8K (basically unusable for long missions) instead of hundreds of thousands or million+ context window.

    You are talking to a village idiot.
    If you have formed your opinion about utility of AI based on talking to the free tier AI...

    ... the village now has two idiots.

    👏 👏 👏

    Keep it up #Europe

    But please do me a favor

    Don't replace #USA #techbro shit with... USA-style techbro shit (like this #W #Bluesky vomitorium)

    And if I need to explain to you what I mean... no I don't think I need to do that. You feel what that means in your bones

    I say this as an American

  40. I just saw a comment on LinkedIn where someone was suggesting we need to make systems more accessible... for AI agents.

    This comment was left on a post talking about how Claude messed up a job because the architecture wasn't built to be accessible to AI.

    Accessibility, for AI agents. Not humans.

    These people can't help but shove AI into every corner of the web.

  41. @EUCommission

    hi, american here

    with my country in the toilet of #plutocracy and #bigotry, i look nowadays to #europe as the beacon of civilization and the free world

    but this... this #W thing is #techBro shit in all the ways we despise

    this is...

    american

    if you have an american, calling something american, in terms of the most grotesque of stereotypes as a european would consider, well then you done fucked up

    fuck "W"

  42. When Technologists Forget the Warning

    The thing about #techbro culture is that some of the most #elitists people grew up loving stories that warned us about the #techshit they are building. They read the dystopias, watched the films, they understood the dangers of unchecked capital, concentrated power, surveillance, artificial intelligence, inequality, and corporate control. Then many of them decided “Great idea. Let’s build it.” as the #geekproblem made them think they knew better. This is what our #fashionista class call […]
