Ah I actually meant 2014, but I can take a look at 2014 and 2015 and see

I've got a 2015 t-shirt if you want some photos? Not sure if they can be any higher quality than the ones you've already found but happy to help if I can!

Not exactly what you're looking for but CHAOSS recently did some work on analysing how community contributions changed after an event like this - there's a podcast about it and I believe http://geekygirldawn.bsky.social has done some conference talks about it, too

That's similar to how my site is done - I also make per-post licensing clear (as I have some posts with different licenses)

Yikes. I used to work with someone who very prominently wore a collar (at work) but that still doesn't mean it's a topic of conversation ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Interesting - I guess you mean a simpler way compared to needing to write the full JSON Path expressions?

 Reply

TIL ๐Ÿ˜… thanks for the heads up!

 Reply

Oof yeah, that's a difficult one - it's not always "easy" to fix something without something else breaking, or breaking someone's workflow

I've got a meta page for all my feeds but https://www.jvt.me/kind/articles/feed.xml is probably the main one that folks are interested in!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Andy to design a project logo for an Open Source project I've been building.

Wanting to work with a real human and get their experience and breadth of ideas, Andy was a great choice, having been recommended by a connection on social media, and helped me unpick what I wanted out of the logo, providing several avenues for design choices before honing in on the final design, which I was super happy with.

Andy was great to work with, provides a wealth of experience and knowledge and was great to work with. I really enjoyed the usage of both synchronous discussions (over video call) and using Miro for asynchronously describing the design decisions in each iteration of the design, allowing me to hear his thoughts (rather than just read them over email) and respond to them in kind.

I've recently started a second project with Andy, and can definitely foresee using his services again!

Being fortunate and not getting sick during the pandemic (yay social distancing and masking!) and I got sick over the holiday period and dang it sucks to be ill, I can't believe it used to be way more often in the past ๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿค’

I'd recommend Stoplight Elements for OpenAPI visualisation over the Swagger Editor (for more reasons than it still using the legacy name Swagger)

The hosted demo doesn't allow providing it a URL, but I've got a version spun up that renders a spec you upload - the usual caveats about not trusting online tools apply!

 Reply

Thanks very much, that's very nice to hear, especially from a complete stranger ๐Ÿ˜

I'll be sharing these updates with my team on Monday, and this deffo fills me with more confidence, thank you!

 Reply

I'd personally be interested ๐Ÿ‘€

Not personally used it, but Vale is well recommended with technical writers I know (but may require some configuring), ie https://lornajane.net/posts/2024/reviewdog-filter-settings-with-github-actions from @lornajane may help with using https://github.com/errata-ai/vale-action

Alternatively:

jq "." posts.json > better.json

(to remove "useless use of cat")

Should there be a www. prefix to the URL, here? ๐Ÿ‘€

On my side I stopped using Meetup as heavily when they removed the free API, and post-lockdown, at least nearer to me, there aren't nearly as many in-person meetups.

In the #IndieWeb community, there's the Meetable project, seen at https://events.indieweb.org/ and is powered by IndieWeb tech (not ActivityPub) if you fancied self hosting, but then you miss out on network effect and discoverability of events you're not necessarily organising yourself ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ Co-maintainer of oapi-codegen here, this is something that can be fixed by migrating the type on the spec side to a named Schema, but will see if we've got a planned feature to autogenerate a type name here instead of an anonymous struct ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝ

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)
