Thanks for sharing your thoughts now you've left, it's nice to see how you feel about the whole experience, as I'd seen a little bit of the inside and what sort of things you were up against at times. Was great having another brilliant technical mind helping deliver some pretty great stuff for the country πŸš€

Absolutely! My site is static - with some backend services for sending Webmentions, supporting Micropub for me to update my site - but I can reply to you from my website, through the power of Bridgy Fed πŸš€

I'm definitely keeping an eye for use with https://github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen and whether we could add experimental support for it πŸ‘€

Yes is the short answer - Aaron Parecki has been working on it and it seems like it takes a good chunk of time to do it right. I've been using https://fed.brid.gy to allow folks to follow my site at @www.jvt.me and I send webmentions to Bridgy to auto-syndicate my posts to my followers' servers. Means I don't need an RSS->Mastodon bot and outsources all the hard work to the service built by the wonderful Ryan Barrett which may be of interest, but could also be a little too much work if you'd prefer to avoid doing it with adding a bot

100% - I wrote about this the other day (https://www.jvt.me/posts/2022/10/22/tech-industry-free-labour/) and the way that as an industry we need to be more careful about our boundaries!

Could make it a joke about writing concurrent software - mvaepgnlni, or similar, where all the letters in the name are out of order?

Very much liking the .tape format, I wish this would then be embeddable as an Asciicast (https://asciinema.org) - looks like https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs/issues/109 is open for this so 🀞🏽

Yikes πŸ™ƒ

Sorry no I mean if it ie takes you two weeks to do a task that's usually two days, because you're investing in a new editor or productivity tool, then maybe there's something there to introspect. As you say chances are there are different things at play too, but if it's that you've gone from a perfectly set up IDE to a barebones editor, then thinking about whether that's the right call for productivity investment is important

πŸ‘‹πŸ½ I'm at https://www.jvt.me/kind/articles/ for my blog, or https://www.jvt.me/ for all sorts of content like posts I think readers would be interested in, what podcasts I'm listening to, etc

 Reply

Yeah I guess "don't take the piss" isn't quite as descriptive as it could be. Talking with your manager and seeing what's reasonable is best, but ie taking two weeks longer to do a "straightforward" task may not be the best
