Some notes on upgrading Hugo
I'm missing my late Mum especially today. It's the first anniversary of her death, and to remember her we went to one of her favourite places: Westonbirt Arboretum. I was very happy when my Aunt (Mum's twin sister) agreed to join my wife & I for the day; her love of trees parallels my Mum's, so we enjoyed a long afternoon of walking through the glorious forests, and in particular the Acer glade.
When somone says something like "our competitor isn't contributing to our open source project", there's an implied assumption that anyone *can* show up and contribute changes that are meaningful to them but against the interests of the project owners (and their commercial backers). That's just not how it works. Despite that, submitting occasional PR's that have no chance of getting merged is probably the best way to expose that bullshit if/when it comes to that.

.example-demo {text-align: center;} In this article, we’ll talk about what is a Rainbow text and demonstrate building one through a basic example. If you are interested in generating code for text with any gradient color, check out our CSS Text Gradient Generator tool.
Parul's talk was incredible - her humour and reflection on her experiences of life as a neurodiverse person, through the lense of "what if neurotypicals were the weird ones" was really quite powerful.
I spent the talk very eagerly nodding along and laughing - a little distractedly - at her incredibly relatable take on the role reversal, and bangers like "Norman received feedback [that his colleagues felt weird about him because] he couldn't fidget".
I'm biased as someone who is neurodiverse myself, so related much more heavily to the talk, but feel that non-neurodiverse people in the audience could also understand the parallels.
I was very strongly reminded - in a great way - of Rachel Morgan-Trimmer's talk from OggCamp 2019 which was also a really powerful insight into life as a neurodiverse person, and I really enjoyed Parul's empathy-driven talk.
I especially loved the ending call to action, asking us all to consider what steps we could take to understand others in our life better.
My only complaint was that I wish the talk was recorded!
(I unfortunately missed the first few minutes)

Come to learn about some very interesting things you can learn from your usage of Open Source and internal dependencies π
Today on The Business of Open Source, I spoke with Chris Holmes, co-founder and CEO of Greymatter. Greymatter is deeply involved in the open source ecosystem and maintains the Go Envoy Control Plane, but Chris is adamant that it is not an open source company. We had a great discussion about why...
Go Time co-host, Johnny Boursiquot, joins Adam & Jerod to discuss not making the (first) cut, applying Founder Mode, being a cog (or not), realizing that companies are posting fake engineering jobs & the (maybe) imminent demise of the .io TLD.

that @www.jvt.me has me reworking my weekend as I look at my embarrassing dotfiles β¦ https://www.jvt.me/posts/2024/10/11/dotfiles/
John Nunemaker joins us to share his new thesis for acquiring Rails based SaaS apps. He's early days on his next big thing called Very Good Software and recently acquired Fireside, a podcast hosting service started by Dan Benjamin. This comes after many years since John's acquisition of a lifetime of Speakerdeck to Git...
Suspect a large part of the future will be "AIsbestos Removal". Asbestos was a wonder material which was going to revolutionise the world. Only then we discovered just how carcinogenic it was. And now, every day, we have to gently unpick it from the urban environment. How many companies will belatedly discover that a load-bearing process is actually riddled with AI? Then they'll have to pay to carefully remove it without any further environmental damage. Hence AIsbestos.

The last time we did a roundup of our unpopular opinion polls, it was November of 2021! That's too long ago, so today we fix that bug. Join Go Time producer, Jerod Santo, as he ranks & reviews the most (un)popular opinions of 2022.

With the new Fellowship program, we are investing directly in the people behind the code by paying maintainers of important open source components for their work. Applications are accepted until October 20th. Find more insights about the maintainer survey on our website.
Nice, see you there π

Software developers may be simultaneously alarmed and flattered by how much psychologists have interacted with my work primarily to learn more about how software teams work and whether they can imitate this :)
Im in the UK later this week, talking at @oggcamp@mastodon.social! Itβll be a tasty intro to home automation and how to successfully irritate your loved ones with it. Oggcamp is the bestest free software conference there is, mainly because itβs in The North and filled with Northeners. More conferences that arenβt in London pls. #oggCamp #OggCamp2024 #HomeAutomation
