Owning something is not a job ❤️
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.
I don’t know why people keep saying things to me

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.

This is why I always would post Twitter HTML embeds, then remove their JS widget, so it stayed plain and unchanged
I just saw Stefan Bohacek made a WordPress plugin for Mastodon embeds. As Dave noted, the <iframe> for a Mastodon embed is very big, the resources aren’t cached across instances. With S…

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.

Shaun Walker was at the forefront of open source in the .NET space as early as 2003 with the release of DotNetNuke. Scott sits down with Shaun to reflect on two decades of .NET open-source, what works, what doesn't, and what's sustainable and Shaun shares his new OSS venture, Oqtane!

Jamie Tanna Jamie (he/him) has been an Open Source contributor longer than he’s been working, finding an early interest in the differences between various Open Source and Free Software licenses and the ethical and moral obligations we should follow as folks building and consuming software. Jamie’s a strong believer in building Open-first where possible, and … Jamie Tanna Read More »

by the way I literally have trans friends say this in front of me and I thought "well that's not true because I'm not trans" and didn't say anything asddk;hgll;sdhggpiasdhd;iohsadasd
cis people do not think "I wish I could be trans", trans people think "I wish I could be trans", because they are, they just haven't realized it yet (or they're nonbinary, etc)
Open source contributors and maintainers play a vital role in the technology ecosystem. But what's it like to develop and maintain an open source tool — especially one that thousands of other developers use and depend on? In this episode of the Technology Podcast, Srinivasan Sekar and Sai Krishna join hosts Rebecca Parsons and Scott Shaw to discuss their work on AppiumTestDistribution, an open source tool that supports test automation framework Appium. AppiumTestDistribution won a LambdaTest Delta Award at the August 2023 Testμ Conference. Listen to Sekar and Krishna explain how the project emerged, how they approach maintaining and evolving the tool and what it takes to be a part of an award-winning open source project.
In today’s episode, the conversation dives deep into the Linux Foundation Research Open Source Maintainers Report. Georg, Alyssa, Dawn, Sophia, and Anita engage in a thoughtful discussion about the report's methodology, findings, and implications for open source projects. They explore topics such as the challenges of obtaining a representative sample in open source research, the bias toward technical contributors, and the importance of considering the long-term engagement lifecycle of contributors. Additionally, they touch upon the report's best practices, including documentation and diversity, and how these practices can be connected across different categories.

Just got notice that RIPE NCC will not be funding the #SmallWeb. Not surprising, since we haven’t had a single successful funding application and I’m done wasting my time with this crap. small-web.org will launch as a commercial service (host your own Small Web place for ~€10/mo) and hopefully that will make Small Technology Foundation sustainable. Since everything we do is free and open, others will also be able to host Small Web places. Also, you can fund us directly: https://small-tech.org/fund-us
I talk to Jonathan Hall about all things DevOps from small companies to large companies and where the customer fits in the often technical story of our code development and deployment. How do you bring junior devs up to speed responsibly? How do we as an industry think of DevOps tooling and how much is… Read More »Interview with Jonathan Hall – Talking DevOps, Go and Continuous Delivery in Reverse
The benefit of Docker is that it makes it easy for folks to run software they don’t fully understand. The downside of Docker is that it makes it easy for folks to run software they don’t fully understand.
I cannot describe the intense visceral rage that envelops me when someone would rather waste my time with a meeting than simply writing something down. Fucking energy vampires.
