I feel like everything you need to know about the Drew Barrymore kerfluffle is that when the writers' strike ended, her union writers decided they'd rather find new jobs than go back to working for her https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/drew-barrymore-show-writers-decline-return-1235606269/
One of my favorite tools in my productivity toolbox for getting started on things I don’t particularly feel like doing is the inverse pomodoro. It’s basically what it sounds like: a timed work/break cycle, but the work and break times are reversed from a normal pomodoro. I usually set a 5 minute timer, do some work, and then do something relaxing or fun for 15 minutes. I usually find that after doing that once or twice, it’s pretty easy to flip to normal pomodoros.

if i can offer younger developers any advice its this: develop a visceral allergy to complexity as soon as you can and nurture that allergy your whole life until it approaches debilitating. all else being equal complexity is bad. more "stuff" is bad, period. there are dopamine triggers and corporate metrics that may indicate otherwise but they are catastrophically wrong. fight to make simpler things. sometimes you really cannot, but thats a fight you need to have and lose if thats the case...
For everyone who feels insecure about your relationships with others - partners, friends, etc. - do they actually like me? Am I tricking them or deceiving them or what if I'm secretly a bad person?: Remember - the other people in the relationship with you are whole-ass people with their own thoughts, feelings, needs, desires, etc. These actual whole-ass people have their own agency, and have decided to spend their time on this earth with you. If you've not been intentionally misleading them or hiding things or tricking them into being with you, then it probably means they actually like you for who you are. You're probably not as good at hiding who you are as you think, which means they know the parts of you that suck, and they like you despite or even BECAUSE of the parts of you that suck. It's okay to simply trust those who love you to have chosen to love you because you're you.

I used to think GitHub Codespaces would help popularise Gitpod but now realize it is the other way around. Gitpod is currently permitted to exist in the Visual Studio Code ecosystem to popularise GitHub Codespaces, and Microsoft can step in at any moment to create legal crises that strategically divide the market from a business perspective because, like Apple and their AppStore: it is their ecosystem that they control and they are in absolute control.
POV you're migrating some code to new dependencies and tests are failing and you're not sure why the change would do that but then you find out the tests have been failing for 3 years.

“we can’t find any good candidates for this role” you’re auto-rejecting people with 20 years experience because they don’t have a degree and then AI-sorting the rest by how Jared their name is
“Jared” is a real example from a real resume ranking tool!! https://qz.com/1427621/companies-are-on-the-hook-if-their-hiring-algorithms-are-biased
Sounds like a threat 👀
Nothing but love for @www.jvt.me for helping with this! I saw Jamie speak at DevOpsDays maybe 4 years ago and knew he was an all-star I wanted to know one day. I'm thankful that DevOpsDays this year I finally made that happen and it already proven I should have prioritised it sooner! 🤩

Aw thank you, you're too kind 💜 happy to have been able to help, and been nice to get you know you too!
It maybe sounds obvious, but if there's one thing I learned from years building open source social platforms, it's this: very few people care about the ideology of your product. The only thing that matters to them is whether it fits their need - there's no way of shirking the responsibility to build the best possible solution. Ideology might (and should) matter to *you*. But it's not a replacement for being usable.
That's cool that Gitea at least has a CLI, maybe one needs making for Forgejo? I've enjoyed using glab
for GitLab as well as gh
and it probably isn't that hard to make a minimal CLI for the forge, just depends on how much of the functionality and some of the nice usability like the interactive surveys you'd like
Annoyed by a company responding to my application with interest because it interrupted my flow writing a cover letter for another job application, in case you're wondering what hyperfocus looks like.
Attached: 3 images We had a lot of struggles with our dog early on, I can see why so many re-home puppies between 6 & 9 mo But we found a better dog trainer & she changed our lives (she’s also a people trainer / therapist with how good she’s been to us) Now Bramley has grown into such a wonderful dog, I’m really seeing just how good life can be with a fluffy companion like him This is the first holiday I’ve been on since we got him where my immediate thought isn’t “wooo no dog!” I miss him & his gorgeous face

I have, a number of times now, joined a P1/P2 incident bridge, and helped fix it from curiosity. I observe for a bit and gently push them to establish basic facts of their assumptions. I’m not even a party to the problem. Failure is interesting. And suddenly things start moving…
New career goal: be someone's anchor. Well, maybe not a big anchor, maybe a buoy or a small lighthouse? But yeah, be there for someone to rely on when there's pressure.

I'd assume only if they implement GitHub compatible APIs 🤔
@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me I like the blogumentation framing that you use!
and talk about filing bugs for software. There's the old saying that anyone can file bugs and submit patches for open source, but the reality is most people can't. Filing bugs for both closed and open source is nearly impossible in many instances. Even if you want to file a bug for an open source project, there are a lot of hoops before it's something that can be actionable. Show Notes
Comments that are easy to grok and grep
I investigated this while at Capital One (a couple of years ago) and the main reason was that banks would still be liable for any data leakage that the third party (or in this case you the user whose data it is) would perform, so to make it a little(?) safer it'd be easier to restrict it.
Agreed it's a sucky situation for folks who want their data and could accidentally leak PDFs with the same result 🤷🏽♂️
Also as someone who's implemented Open Banking on both consumer and service provider, it's not necessarily something I'd expect lots of folks to enjoy doing themselves 😂

I feel good about one way masking as a high risk person given all the other work they've put in. Of note, when GitHub Universe did the rug pull on COVID precautions last year, it was Monktoberfest's written promise to not relax protections after they're announced that inspired a key part of the @phpledge@floss.social. #PublicHealthPledge #HealthAndSafety #COVID #OpenSource #DevRel

Haha fair play 😅 worth raising a discussion on the Renovate repo for now at least, may be something that could be something that can be contributed with some changes by Civo, or could all be done with an official datasource in Renovate
The list of sites I follow in Feedly has long ago shifted from personal blogs to larger, specialized news websites. The personal blogs have disappeared for the same reason this one did. Why would anyone want to share personal information this way, when social media is easier to use, more specific, more widely-used, and has a … Continued
