As Kevin mentions, the IndieWeb Chat is a good place to go for more conversations. I guess the main thing is what do you want out of it? I thoroughly recommend https://theadhocracy.co.uk/wrote/one-year-in-the-indieweb as a note of whether you want to be indieweb or IndieWeb because there's a very different set of goals folks want, and I know a number of people who've come into the community, tried to tick off all the things in the list, got bored/annoyed and left. Do you want to own more data? Just want to have a website? Want to have a decentralised identity provider like https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org?

People who use Grinch like that are so annoying, cause they haven't actually watched the film to understand that he was bullied and forced to be an outcast, rather than just not liking the season ๐Ÿ’” it's totally OK to not be a fan or as all-in as others!

It's more that a Pull Request is a GitHub specific name for something in use in Git (https://www.git-scm.com/docs/git-request-pull) for kernel development and other projects for some time

I'm replying to you from my #IndieWeb site on a domain I own that then publishes to Twitter so I can interact with you, but still owned by me. It's built on open standards (https://spec.indieweb.org) and is a great community around owning your data

That being said we should be happy to let people who think of it as just a job to thrive too - tech is one of the few roles where we expect people to have side projects and do effectively free work in their free time and we shouldn't really normalise it

After 4 years of having the buzz of always having the chance to see what's going on in production and spot things before they're problems, I'm feeling quite empty in my new job where we don't have anything yet ๐Ÿฅฒ

From the ones I've got, it'll be a way for them to get your site to link out to theirs, improving their search rankings, as well as promoting themselves. I've only had one that actually was vaguely reasonable

Yep ๐Ÿ™ƒ whenever I'm on a monitor that's not 1080p, I'll make sure to resize windows that I'm sharing to be 1080p or smaller so it's a reasonable size

Ooh yeah I'd not thought about Mobile/Embedded things.

Although are you saying that usually you'd have a client_secret in a mobile app? Would it at least be dynamic per app install?

I'm watching this with great interest. Everyone raving about the M1s is making me wonder about one but only if I could run Linux on it ๐Ÿค”

There certainly is - check out https://hire.jvt.me for how I've done it using #Microformats2 (there's a link at the bottom which links out to how it would be parsed). More details at https://www.jvt.me/posts/2021/05/25/microformats-resume/

I had the pleasure of starting a team together with Shama last September, and the year we worked together was really great.

Shama has been a a really great person to work with, and for. She's helped shape me into a much better engineer, technical lead, mentor and team player.

Something that came up in a quarterly survey would be "does your manager inspire you to do your best work", to which I always answered yes for Shama - she's always helped me believe more in what we're doing, striving to leave things much better than when we found them, and coaching me to achieve my best.

One thing I commented on a number of times over the year working with her, is Shama's pragmatism. Shama's alwaws happy to do the right thing - making the best efforts to clean up a project before starting, making sure we're following best practices - but is also happy to ask questions of i.e. whether it makes sense to spend an extra half day doing some style improvements for a PR's code before it ships to production, or follow-up once it's on its way. It's been really helpful making sure we stay on track at times, and has helped with a number of cross-team working pieces too.

We've recently worked on a very difficult piece of work on some pre-loved software that spans multiple teams, and Shama was awesome - she got stuck in, digging to the bottom of problems, managing the situation really well, and was pivotal with getting us across to the other side!

And mostly, she's been proactive in providing the right feedback, nudging me, and giving me opportunities to grow myself. I've found it to be a great way of helping me focus on ensuring that I can support junior engineers better by being less involved in work, but jumping in when folks needed/wanted my help.

I'm going to miss working with her, and I'd thoroughly recommend others get the chance to work with her. Thanks for a great year together!

TIL! We've had them before from Costco in the UK, and assumed that cause it was Costco it'd be US ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Have you looked at the repo publishing an iCalendar feed that could be read from Google instead? Or did you need to do things like invites / add non-public data?

https://www.jvt.me/posts/2021/01/05/why-content-negotiation/ is my usual recommendation, but isn't always possible, and isn't straightforward to get correct. I've got a handful saved at https://www.jvt.me/tags/versioning/ which may be of interest

Anna Dodson and I have an Ergodriven Topo and find it really good - Carol Gilabert has a fancy one too, but I can't remember which one it is

If you run env GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -vvv that'll give you the verbose output you'll need from ssh to do it ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

This sounds awesome! I'm not sure I'll be able to make it to DroidCon (as I'm not Mobile focused) but I'd love to hear more about this - is there a recording planned to be released?

I'm slowly moving stuff over to Architect as it's such a wonderful way of getting static stuff alongside multiple Lambdas, with Dynamo and SQS with very little effort. Thanks to Barry Frost for highlighting it to me!
