Well that was an exciting couple of days. Love rambling on stage to people - ignite/lightning talks are a new kind of nervous energy, you don't have enough time for the adrenalin spike to stop before you're off the stage! Thoroughly enjoyed #DevOpsDaysLDN and looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions for next year!
One of the things about coming on mastodon is youāre never just scrolling around and come across a new kind of porn youād never even imagined existed, itās terrible

Following on from a successful conversation that was had at #DevOpsDays Chicago, there was an Open Space yesterday all about #compensation and #salary at #DevOpsDays London, which of course I was super interested in, and happy to share my own salary history as well as some of the things that companies have done over the year.
Based on one of the questions I'll (soon ā¢ļø) be adding how much on-call is compensated, if not part of the salary
As you may have noticed, Iām in the middle of revamping my blog. Itās now a static site, run via Hugo and Cloudflare Pages. I was planning to use Disqus for comments, but changed my mind when I realised it meant ads and tracking. This led to a search for alternatives which ended in choosing Webmention.
Slack tip: āā§S (command shift s) expands the workplace switcher to a dedicated column. Allows you to see which workspace has new activity without needing to tap to expand the list first. h/t @anderseknert@hachyderm.io #Slack #proTip
Had a great time doing an Ignite talk at #DevOpsDays London today about dependency-management-data - come say hey, there's so much more to it than I could squeeze into 5 minutes!
I've got a good getting started guide and a long-form post if you want a bit more depth

@ian@hachyderm.io The German bread pumpernickel translates to English as āfart goblinā, referring to the flatulence induced by the difficult to digest rye.
Nothing like getting trolled by the linter I wrote 3 years ago in my past job. Damn you past Tim. These rules are harsh.

being a programmer is very liberating because i can turn any computer problem into a much weirder computer problem
Hyperfocus for hours to get my Linux desktop config just so. Fourth test run, there's an error somewhere that the window manager doesn't log or report. *(faint sound like dry twigs snapping in my head)* Reboot into Windows. #ADHD life

COVID-19 was many peopleās first introduction to the working-from-home experience. Iāve been lucky enough to have been working from home exclusively since 2009 and at US-based companies (e.g. GitHub) since 2012. Iāve also been an EU-based open-source maintainer since 2007 and maintaining the globally-distributed Homebrew package manager since 2009. These experiences have helped me learn some tips on how to be more effective working remotely that Iād like to share with you:
Something something about once you're a nazi bar you're always a nazi bar.
After almost 2 years of development, learning, and growth, weāre finally launching Graphite out of beta! But what does it actually mean to launch?
My spicy take is that XML is better than YAML, because there are situations where XML is appropriate, but thereās no situation where YAML is appropriate. Let me explainā¦
Huge congrats šš½
New on the website is an archives page if you wanted a quicker way to go back through the many posts I've written! Could do with maybe adding a little more detail + some format changes, but a good solution for now

Very convenient for me that every security question that most websites ask for is exactly the same info in the little info box on Wikipedia. I could just make a little tool to automatically fill them in. For security.

For todayās episode, Asim is joined by Andrea Goulet, who has spent more than 20 years in the tech industry. She joins Asim as she tells her journey in the tech industry and how the idea of empathy has helped her develop some soft skills that may be productive for software engineers in the field. [00:39] Introduction of Andrea [2:00] About Empathy [04:56] Andreaās Journey in Software [07:47] Frameworks on Empathy [10:27] Applications of Framework to Engineers [14:45] Taking Actions with Empathy [20:10] Tangible Benefits of Empathy [26:21] Task and Relationship Conflicts [28:59] How to Reach Andrea Defining Empathy Empathy is the moment an individual experiences when they have the power to make decisions and then act upon it. It is that moment when oneās thought process can read the feelings or foresee the consequences of the actions they are about to do. In the world of software and tech, empathy is not the main highlight to the work system, however, this underlying skill can be the butterfly effect that can change the course of productivity and outputs of software engineers. Essential Soft Skills Empathy is a soft skill that can be harnessed as a metaphor to create a better working environment not just for yourself, but for your co-workers as well. Rooting back to the decision-making moments, there comes a time where you have to consider factors such as rational or logical thinking, setting up boundaries, and proper communications, these are the trigger points where empathy plays a big role in creating a good working environment. The soft skill has worked on many software developers in terms of better work productivity as well as healthier and professional working relationships with colleagues.
