OSS nerd. JavaScript Stockholm syndrome survivor. Music collector. Leftist. Big fan of what BlueSky is doing, but microblogging is decidedly not great for my brain, so do not expect much from me here.https://bsky.app/profile/joshmock.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshmock.com/post/3mwrfl7wh5c2yAn expert on the internet trying to tell me that my brain's reward system is fucked up. Ma'am, I spent the first 36 years of my life with undiagnosed ADHD and have been extremely online since the late 1900s, my brain's reward system never had a chance.30 Sep 2026 22:33 +0000at://did:plc:6cldczesnknjsj2ms2zemlq5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwrfl7wh5c2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshmock.com/post/3mvl2b7de6c24Excited and proud that the project I've been leading at @elastic.co for much of this year is now available to the community.
