Hello world! 👋 I'm Karina and I'm a creative technologist, software developer, and designer. I currently work as a new media exhibit technician for the Exploratorium in SF and I also freelance for startups under my own small agency (appropriately called KACHOW! LLC 🗯️ (1/7)

@DanCanCode Hilariously no! Someone at the museum I'm working at has it above their desk. He apparently made the first website for a museum ever in 1993 (for this museum). It apparently was the ~600th website ever made! Fun facts :)

But for real, this exhibit is SO cool. My colleague just finished fixing it up. Press the button to release a water droplet from the top basin into a cup full of water and an HD camera to take a picture. You can adjust how many ms after the button press the picture is taken.

@69AssTitties Chaotic good is my natural alignment

@qticknorway @embersunn Yeah we're pretty much the worst offenders

@Lincoln_Osis @SamSecGuy @JDVance @JLLiedl You know what? That's fair. Sorry she was that way :/

Well if I ever work full time in tech again, please give me your tips for how to steer obsession. I had a coworker once (before linters) who commented a semicolon on every single line of code in my PR ( > 100 lines) and wouldn't give up making ridiculous style comments like that instead of just telling me what the general rules were. I could not figure out how to wrangle that person to give reasonable comments and feedback. It's also like trying to get the people obsessed with vim vs emacs type discussions to let go of the topic. They won't xD

@Lincoln_Osis @SamSecGuy @JDVance @JLLiedl Didn't your moms ever teach you guys to not judge a book by its cover xD

@ElBianco3 @embersunn Man I dunno which I would take. Depends on the behaviors. I've worked with extreme versions of both and they both suck lol There's a certain level of obsession you need for the job, but you need to obsess over the right things

@embersunn There's tons. E.g. I worked with someone who I swear barely could think for himself and only quoted things he saw on Dan Abramovs 's blog. Dan's awesome but a lot of what my colleague would suggest we did wasn't even relevant just the latest blog post

@consolondon That's like infinite things though! How do you choose among those ha

@Codingwithroy @loftwah Fair. I've used duckduckgo for the last 3-4 years. Still funny to ask AI to Google something for you though

@LibertyCappy lol what lies. my roommate's cat is a chatterbox, wakes us up at 3am with zoomies, and smells terrible 😹

@Newgrounds was an extremely formative force in my life. I learned to code to make Flash games and I worked for Patreon be to support animators and voice actors. If you have some money to spare, consider backing this Newgrounds documentary Kickstarter!

@austeregrim @SamSecGuy @JDVance @JLLiedl We did a Sailor Moon cosplay for a con once and one of my friends didn't want to go through the trouble of making a Sailor outfit so she came as the cat 🤣

@austeregrim @SamSecGuy @JDVance @JLLiedl Man I miss that team...it was a bastion of excellent, talented people in a sea of stupid office politics.
