Wrote ~23 blog posts this year and here are the 7 I'm most proud of.

Basically all about #databases and #distributedsystems, and mostly about building them from scratch.

It was fun to be on the Talk Python to Me podcast to chat with https://fosstodon.org/@mkennedy about README and Changelog automation:

Special thanks to Colin Sullivan for pointing Michael my way in the first place: https://fosstodon.org/@mkennedy/109361294408071209

For the holiday, a thread on how to befriend crows.

--

Befriending crows is a wonderful thing.

I have many crow friends at home and at work. They bring joy at unexpected moments and can rescue a miserable day even without shaking down the dust of snow that Robert Frost described.

This thread is an updated version of one I posted at the bird site in July 2019.

Hey computer science and IT security students from South Asia! Are you interested in doing an internship at CISPA in Germany? https://jobs.cispa.saarland/jobs/detail/cispa-summer-voluntary-internship-program-south-asia-197

Today, my Ph.D. student Alexander Kampmann successfully defended his thesis on #Alhazen, a tool that automatically determines failure circumstances: “The program crashes when an input line has more than 1024 characters”. Congratulations, Dr. Kampmann!

Hi! I am a professor working to better understand and help early-stage founders succeed while avoiding or coping with the negative person-level impacts of #entrepreneurship.

Research interests include wellbeing, emotion, creativity, impression management, and motives and I explore these mainly using computational and experimental methods (with #rstats). In a previous career, I built software and startups.

Also, lots of #sailing and #surfing.

CS faculty hired in particular subfields over time. Tons of ML hires in the last six years!
