<blockquote> "This person sounds like an energy vampire. I don't disagree with some of the points, but the way they're conveyed and the writing style make it hard to empathize with them." </blockquote> I read all mail without exception, and love getting it, but can no longer reply to everything. You can reach me at: ludicity.hackernews@gmail.com. I will prioritize responding, in order, if: <ol> <li>You live in Melbourne and want coffee. I have accepted 100% of these requests so far.</li> <li>You want to invite me onto a podcast or something because the flames of my ego are a roaring inferno that needs constant feeding, to the dismay of all those around me.</li> <li>You want to be connected to another reader in your local area.</li> <li>You're an engineer that shares my values that needs some help, particularly students and members of marginalized communities.</li> </ol> My podcast, "Does A Frog Have Scorpion Nature" which is just me chatting with readers and friends. Available on all major platforms. Mastodon because it's so much nicer than Twitter. Liberapay | Patreon to support me writing taking time off to write amidst the difficulty of launching a business.
