My thoughts on the CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 dock
My name is Andy and I make lots of random stuff. Read more about me on the About page.
I've released a tiny little macOS menubar utility I use to quickly swap my SSH config files between different environments or use cases. It's called Sshwitch.
Side note: On this website, I am using the super-cool Input font for this site. If you write code and you want to use it for your code editor, grab it here: https://input.djr.com/

“NASA explores the unknown in air and space, innovates for the benefit of humanity, and inspires the world through discovery. For more than 65 years, NASA has made the seemingly impossible, possible. At its 20 centers and facilities across the country and with U.S. commercial companies and international partners, NASA leads studying Earth science, including climate, our Sun, solar system, and the larger universe. We conduct cutting-edge research to advance technology and aeronautics. We operate the world’s leading space laboratory, the International Space Station, and will establish a sustainable and strong exploration presence on the Moon this decade through the Artemis campaign.” —NASA About page

Technology is super cool and it shouldn't care who makes it that way. Women/Girls in Tech.
According to their about page, 37% of computer scientists in 1995 were women. Today, it’s down to 24%. Attrition is highest between the ages of 13 and 17. “We're reaching girls around the world and are on track to close the gender gap in new entry-level tech jobs by 2030.”
As a number of the resources I’ve shared here show, this one talks about the history of women in computer science, explores the gender gap in computer science, and roles for women in the industry. It’s a quick and easy ready with plenty of links to more resources.
WITI's mission is to empower women worldwide to achieve unimagined possibilities and transformations through technology, leadership and economic prosperity.
