@coldclimate It's not morality. It's protecting my peace. If that happens to be morally correct then so be it. The number of organizational changes the past two weeks has been wild.

Lots of UK folk don’t know that medical cannabis is legal but it is through private clinics. There are obviously requirements & it’s heavily regulated (you’re not allowed to smoke, only vape) & you have to have had two other treatments for your condition that didn’t work. It can be pricey & things go out of stock if they’re popular & there’s lots of trial and error. But I’ve had success with it. I’m on it for pain but I get strains that are also effective for my ADHD.

My team actually likes Gherkin and is pumped that I suggested we use and implement it. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
My boss set up a Slack bot that sends me weekly reminders that I’m doing a good job and not getting fired. It may be the nicest thing any boss has ever done for me. 😅

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
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...

Pro-tip: Turn off your hearing aid before entering a public bathroom to block out unwanted noises from neighbouring cubicles.
Right now as we grapple with a tsunami of changes to Ashley's work I'm grateful for every man in tech (you know who you are) who has ever taken a phone call or a zoom call to give me advice, share your strategies, and otherwise extend your information and access and privilege to our household. Despite everything we face in tech the kindness and solidarity and community I have experienced light part of my way and help me understand what we can be to each other

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
Bluesky would be 3 times better if there was an option to not show posts with media that lack alt text
Reusable, composable, single responsibility — these are all things good SaaS products have in common with UNIX command line tools.

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
