“Instead of talking about hard skills and soft skills, let’s actually call them what they are. One set of skills is technical skills, skills for dealing with technology and technical problems And one set of skills is human skills, things for dealing with humans.” 🎥 @kball https://youtube.com/shorts/mNHX-QlHAlg
When I repeatedly am asked “Why accessibility though? What’s the business case?” I get cranky (but I’m working on that). It’s the law. Why do I have to argue a business case for anyone to *checks notes* not break the law?? Yes there is a whole ‘nother aspect where it shouldn’t have had to become a law in the first place but FFS.

The same sort of pattern can show up with something like being trans or gay. Anything that society stigmatizes, despite it being a thing a person is born with or otherwise has no control over. If people are punished for being themselves, they hide themselves. They break themselves to fit into the mold. 4/4
If you have had an adult family member or friend that was recently diagnosed with a previously unknown developmental psychological disorder (ADHD, autism, etc), you might have noticed something that confused you. Right around the time they were diagnosed, maybe even a bit before, they "suddenly" began to exhibit symptoms when never had before. You might be like, "I've known this person for X years and they never behaved like this." You might even think they are "acting" or something. 1/4
The truth is exactly the opposite. Anyone that's "different" in our culture learns very quickly to hide their differences. The world punishes anyone who's different — usually not explicitly, but by enforcing expectations that cannot be met. People start doing what's known as "masking" — they hold back their true selves and maintain an appearance of normalcy by any means. Usually masking is driven by guilt, shame, and anxiety, and it often leads to burnout or worse. It takes a toll on people. 2/4
Your friend or family member hasn't started acting for "attention" or to get a medication or whatever. They've *stopped* acting. The person you *thought* you knew was only a façade constructed for protection . You only saw the armor they put on everyday, not them. Now that they've learned their differences aren't "their fault" or because "they are broken" or whatever, they can let their guard down. For maybe the first time in their life, they aren't forcing themselves to be who they aren't. 3/4
One of the more fun projects I’ve worked on at Tailscale is golink, which provide simple, private shortcuts that you can share with others on your tailnet. We have hundreds of go links at Tailscale …

An anonymous internet is highly valuable; a pseudonymous internet is highly valuable; a named internet is highly valuable. Attempting to regulate these 3 Internets as if they are the same is ultimately futile.

Observation: if you're someone who angrily rants about how terrible a bunch of software is: chances are extremely high you've never actually built any notable software used by non-trivial amounts of people. It's almost as if reading many many people shredding your work to pieces on the internet makes you mildly less inclined to do the same to others. Who could have guessed?
https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-steam-deck-oled-announcement/ reports Valve making a OLED Steam Deck. I'm pretty happy with mine, the lowest model of the second batch. Frankly, it's not "just" a console to me, it's a whole separate computer that I have to maintain (but in a kinda fun way and with a journaled file system so rolling back is easy). For more causal folk, this might be the model they've been waiting for. A brighter screen, more power and it's lighter? (https://jacky.wtf/2023/11/mOe5)

There are countless real world scenarios where a workflow or process has multiple steps, and some steps must be completed before others can be started. Think of something as simple as cooking dinner. First you look up a recipe, then you write down the ingredients you need, you go shopping, and then you cook. These
