a lot of people don't get this but software rots. Just like a physical piece of wood or machine, software rusts, software rots. It's content doesn't change, sure, but the world around it does. The same database you release today, wont work 10 years later perfectly. It'll rust. It won't handle new formats, old formats will introduce new features that will confuse and break your databases algorithm software rusts and rots. The only way to keep software from rusting, just like a good metallic tool, is polishing it, maintaining it, making sure it's nice and working

Once you've "made it", keep the network going. And give back. Give back to the nonprofit that lifted you up. Stay in touch with the people who helped you out. Pay it forward to another person in need. Don't just disappear once you've "got yours." Everything is temporary.

Stress awareness month is officially over. Please stop being stressed, it is illegal for the next 11 months. Get your fucking Cortisol under control or you will start incurring fees.

Happy International Workers' Day to the entire Proletariat and to tech workers who just got laid off again but still don't think they have any pressing reason to unionise especially.

Labour day! I wish you a decent salary, strong unions, and rest.

Attached: 1 image holy shit. they actually called it "reply guy". seeing the Torment Nexus and copying it for profit is one thing, but seeing a reply guy and being like "I can monetize that" is a whole new type of evil.

i’m not sure which source control system needs to hear this but .. nobody has ever wanted to commit a .DS_Store file.

Don't know if I reach any game developer. But games need a "adult mode" as in "I haven't played the game for weeks because life happened. Please give me a ramp up of the story so far and an option for a short tutorial with all the controls and mechanics".

If your enemy is literally hiding behind children, you don't say, "My enemy made me kill children." You say, "I couldn't kill my enemy, because there were children in the way." Unless, of course, you don't think the children are really human in the way that your children are human.

What’s wrong babe? You’ve hardly created any shareholder value today

Did MKBHD ruin an AI company and their product because of their negative review of it? No, the bad AI product ruined itself and its company. Just because someone created a business, found funding and created a thing doesn’t mean they should get instant recognition, and a pass for crappy stuff. Entrepreneurs aren’t your friends, they aren’t superior, they don’t deserve to be coddled. When they make sh*t products, they should be told that they made sh*t. MKBHD did their job.

Google went from “don’t be evil” to “help commit genocide or you’re fired”.

We need to lend a hand by giving back to the projects we use. Ideas about giving back (and how Fastly does) are in this blog from @anildash@me.dm https://www.fastly.com/blog/what-can-you-actually-do-to-reduce-the-threat-of-hacks-like-xz

Can people please use tone indicators such as /j and /srs when appropriate Please I'm begging people I'm to autistic for this shit I will take you 100% seriously otherwise and that is not fun for anyone

one thing I've noticed over the last year or two is people never, ever say "How could it get any worse?" anymore. we learned

Opposing genocide isn’t antisemitic. Saying that opposing genocide is antisemitic is antisemitic. You know what’s inhumane? Genocide. You know who’s committing genocide? Israel. You have zero moral standing to assess me. Those who commit and are complicit in genocide never do. So yes, most definitely, goodbye. #israel #palestine #gaza #apartheid #ethnicCleansing #genocide https://digitalcourage.social/@sl007/112268942430540187

As engineers, it's easy for us to measure inputs (how much time we're spending) and outputs (lines of code written or features produced), but what really matters are the business outcomes (customers acquired and retained, revenue growth metrics, profitability), which are less directly related. It's always useful for us to step back and ask ourselves: what's the point?

Tapping the sign: You don't take meeting notes for the people in the meeting. You take them for people who aren't in the meeting. That includes three-months-from-now-you, who also isn't in the meeting.

I wish more people who are worried about FOSS supply side attacks would realize that universal basic income and free healthcare would result in an almost infinite stream of excellent software from people who care more about quality than profit.

Remember when the EU cleared out 1 GB of space?
