When I was little (in the 90s) and the radio was my only source of music, I used to get really annoyed when they played music I didn't like at the time. One of them was Alanis Morissette because it was always on. Anyway... I was a fool. It's so embarrassing to admit that I am only now appreciating her songs. On the other hand, if I had known about "You Oughta Know" many years ago when I had a heartbreak, I probably would have embarrassed myself on social media at the time. 😂

One of the things that’s always struck me as broken in big tech companies is how often there are products that millions of people use that deserve continued improvements that no one cares about while there are so many hot new projects with no meaningful shot at as much impact with dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people working on them. By the way Microsoft is pulling Wordpad from Windows because no one is working on it. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-is-killing-wordpad-in-windows-after-28-years/

Every so often my brain reminds me of a conversation from long ago. Sometimes I’ll go for months without thinking about it, but then it’ll trigger, and I can’t stop thinking about it. It happened this week. Many years ago I taught technical courses for SAP in their London training centre. There’d often be moments during the day when the students were busy doing exercises and off-topic conversations would start. Here’s how one went down.

Attached: 1 image This whole Church of Scientology freaking out over how right to repair will force them to open up how their e-meters work thing is my favourite current side plot. 🍿 (Edited to add link because this went wider than I expected lmao: https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/01/right_to_repair_scientology/)

I have not slept well at all. Instead of working on negotiating layoffs, leadership is taking this extended break to congratulate themselves for what they've done. Meanwhile, workers of all disciplines and levels are either scrambling to find work or understanding what next steps they can take. I truly don't understand how people who run layoffs sleep well at night - knowing that you've signed off on the destabilizing action of so many.

TIL the % of humans that are intersex is about the same as the % of humans that are red-headed. Yet, most folks don’t even know about the first group. And some US states are writing laws that erase that group. Imagine no public bathrooms for red heads - that’s how dumb your laws sound.

I sometimes wonder if the agile/trunk-based/no-code-review/DORA4LIFE crew actually use software where "value is shipped constantly to the customer” because I am just so fucking tired of random UI changes. I honestly do not mind if someone thinks a thing through before shipping it. I am OK if that makes them not an "elite team" or if they have to "collaborate and critique" their work before shipping it. There are things in life more important than some programmer closing a JIRA ticket
