Extroverted Developer

* Iron Man the God of Technology

* Hulk the God of Rage

* Captain America God of America

* All the other minor Gods

* Thor somehow still the God of Thunder

Only later to realize it’s just a Burger King original chicken sandwich with deli ingredients and extra steps 😭😭😭

Current Job Market Reality

• Unemployment for college degree-holders aged 22-27 is almost 6%, the highest since the pandemic
• This rate is significantly worse than the overall unemployment rate of 4%, creating an unusual inversion rarely seen in the past three decades
• Recent graduates are struggling to find work despite having degrees, with some considering service jobs while waiting out the market

AI’s Role (Mixed Impact)

• Only about 6% of firms across the economy have adopted AI technology according to Goldman Sachs The tough job market for new college grads probably isn’t all due to AI
• In tech specifically, AI impact is more significant – new graduate hires by Big Tech fell 25% since 2023
• AI can now handle entry-level coding tasks that were traditionally learning opportunities for junior developers
• Tech companies increasingly brag about AI-generated code while simultaneously announcing layoffs

Announcing WordPress to Threads. A WordPress plugin that will publish your blog to Threads.

Features

• Automatic Posting: Posts to Threads when you publish a new blog post
• Character Limit Handling: Automatically truncates long posts to fit Threads’ 500 character limit
• URL Shortening: Uses Bitly to shorten URLs for long posts
• Manual Posting: Post existing blog posts to Threads with one click
• OAuth Integration: Secure authorization flow compliant with Meta’s API requirements
• Duplicate Prevention: Tracks which posts have been shared to prevent duplicates
• GDPR Compliance: Includes data deletion endpoints for user privacy

Currently it’s not for muggles, but if you’re comfortable with setting up a developer account on developer.facebook.com then this will likely work for you.

If there’s broader interest in making a plug and play version that doesn’t require any developer setup (just oauth to Threads and begin posting) then I’ll see about setting up a service for that, but it will cost some small amount of money.

Selling your bath water is still better than pumping a crypto coin to capitalize on the attention creepy men give you

Kinks worked out!
