For years we've been told that everyone needs to learn to code. As career software people, what are our thoughts on this? Should you learn to code? Is coding the right career for you? In this first episode of a two part series, the panel discusses how they learned to code, whether they think...

I also have an intimidatingly large room to fill.
So if you'd like to see a guy with a beard who *isn't* a billionaire talking about embedding a culture of Open Source, please come along 😄

Attention furries, weebs, neckbeards, and other cringe enthusiasts of kubernetes: I've ordered more Uwubernetes stickers, and they should be here in time for FOSDEM.

There are about 4 labelers and none of them work 100% of the time. I'm subscribed to all 4 and STILL get pictures missing alt text.
Not sure if there's something that stops labelers from catching this properly or what, but it's something the app should have natively for accessibility anyway
DHH is a gigabrain fascist and everyone with any sense is long since tired of his shit. I hope the Rails community can wrestle it away from being that muppets fiefdom. https://ruby.social/@getajobmike/113868764027652350
Logged on after a purposeful day of not watching the news, logging off now after seeing the trash fire it was always gonna be.
For the next 4 years, I'm going to try to focus on helping my local community and orgs. It's the best thing I can think to do in the face of... all of this.

The annoying nerds who said you should install Linux, use decentralised social media, use Signal secure messenger were right.
Control of our own computing is a prerequisite for freedom.
The internet *is* real life.
A PR of mine was accepted into go-wasm-http-server (https://github.com/nlepage/go-wasm-http-server) that makes it #TinyGo compatible! Now your Go webservers can be built into tiny WASM blobs and run in ServiceWorkers 🥳

I spent the 2017 US Presidential inauguration working in a small open plan office, where someone put it on the TV to then loudly talk about it. I’m very glad I work from home now, and can avoid it today.
When people like this talk about WFH damaging productivity, they’ve clearly not worked in an open office for a while https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jan/20/working-from-home-not-doing-proper-work-stuart-rose
The EU should demand that American Big Tech sell their assets to European companies. They can’t be trusted to not manipulate the data for propaganda reasons.
Not doing so is a national security risk.
Am I doing this right?
