Any #IndieWeb folk heading to #ffconf next week? I’m wondering if anyone fancies a little informal Homebrew Website Club, or maybe just a coffee or a pint.

We’re joined this week by the beat freak in residence himself, the mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder. Listen along as we talk about how we make our beats, what inspires us for our music, and some behind the scenes on our latest albums.
But that's a medium-term problem. The long-term issue with "rockstar" developers is that they tend to create a situation where the business says "Oh, we can just give that to Joe to do, because Alan will take too long and do a bad job." So Joe does the work. And Alan never learns. "Rockstar" developers can lull organisations into thinking they don't need to invest in building capability at the *team* level.
Being a cruel sociopath is a lifestyle choice but should not be an electable position. #UKPolitics
A Pinky & Brain spin-off for grown ups that always starts with them sitting tired at coffee in the morning: Pinky: "What are we going to do tonight?" Brain: "Same thing we do every night. Try to go to bed early" And then the whole episode is just about how stuff comes up and prevents them from going to bed early.
After years of constantly lowering my prices, trying to get a vanishingly-small amount of sales on things I care about, I’ve decided to raise everything and make it uniform, across all of my music …(bd982662-4ad3-57ec-ba3c-1482365ae8bd)

Getting ready for KubeCon. It's going to be a mixed experience, not gonna lie. Our home is still filled with what would've been our lives, so I'm grateful for the travel distraction 💔 I'll have a few copies of her book for anyone who happens to find me at the conference : Where's Waldo : https://hackingcapitalism.io For the unfamiliar: the book is about modeling capitalism as a navigable system. The goal is to reach traditionally underrepresented folks who weren't Just Told How It Works.
Jean Yang’s research on programming languages at Carnegie Mellon led her to realize that APIs are the layer that makes or breaks quality software systems. Unfortunately, developers are underserved by tools for dealing with, securing & understanding APIs. That realization led her to found Akita Software, which led h...

I have just discovered that the phrase "to eat something" immediately sounds suspicious if you conjugate it: "I need to eat something": normal, fine, implies you need to decide what to eat. "I need to finish eating something": YOU ARE HIDING A VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL FROM ME
Today marks one year since I walked away from 360,000 followers on that other site joined this incredible community here! That was easily one of the most positive moves I've ever made, and I frankly haven't looked back. Thank you to @jerry and everyone else who keeps this place humming. Come to think of it, it's time to renew our annual support! https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors
So sick of the narrative around having productive days and maximising your productivity so I’m just gonna go and celebrate having an unproductive af day or two.
Most senior roles, technology or otherwise, should be able to strike a good balance between solving existing problems and creating new problems. In aggregate, they should solve more problems than they create, and this is how we make progress; fulfilling general goals but also agitating for improvements. One of my line managers once called this "looking for the right kind of trouble".

Cleaning up some old notes and finding the one about setting up a local Gitea server with duct tape CI processes because my employer's Gitlab instance was so slow it would break my flow and yeah I'm kinda DIY (not to be confused with "professional")

yeah sure enabling developers is great but have you ever bought hundreds of stickers with money that is not yours #devrel
You don’t have “burnout,” you have stress-induced neurological decline due to long-term brain damage. Giving it a cutesy name may help you discuss it amongst allies, but it will not demand the recognition you need from medical professionals, your peers, or those oppressing you.
Since I always vent about other language ecosystems when they suck, I want to also share a counterexample. Today I spent the day doing tooling integration and testing and compatibility work on https://github.com/FiloSottile/age.ts and things mostly just worked, including Node/Bun/esbuild, and ES Modules, and Typescript, and Puppeteer, and GitHub Actions. https://github.com/FiloSottile/age.ts/pull/14
Filippo Valsorda & Roland Shoemaker from the Go Team sit down with Natalie to catch us up on what’s new in Go’s crypto libraries. No, not that crypto… good ol’ cryptography!
A true warrior always stands at the ready to give assistance, but knows that sometimes the best help is to give someone the time and space to help themselves. Knowing that you are willing to lend your strength is sometimes all it takes for those in need to regain theirs.

Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics: A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports. Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply *more likely to file bugs*. Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA https://techhub.social/@ozone89/111337250473454154
Saw a job posting touting “no politics at work” as a benefit. Mate, I work in #OpenSource. It's _all_ political. So grab your "no politics at work" and go take a long walk off a short pier.
I've used ajv
a lot, both as a library and a CLI and it's got some great support of the main JSON Schema drafts

Some of you don't come from a family where "Is the political situation bad enough for us to flee the country?" is a regular topic of dinner conversation and it shows.

New on the blog: https://andy-bell.co.uk/how-im-using-the-fragments-of-social-media-now/ I think I’ve found the perfect balance: not trying to use all platforms the same, but leaning into what I think makes them good.
It’s been over a year since Elon Musk started the process of dismantling Twitter, which has resulted in lots of fragmentation. It’s also resulted in new platforms arriving and some even disappearing (cya later T2/Pebble). I think I’ve found the perfect balance, which I guess is an evolution of the holy trinity.
