This content type is full of IndieWeb post types, which are all content types which allow me to take greater ownership of my own data. These are likely unrelated to my blog posts. You can find a better breakdown by actual post kind below:
Dan North tells the tale of Tim, the worst programmer he’s worked with (who also is a heck of a programmer), Kevin Lin declares that OpenTelemetry delivers on its promise for open observability, Justin Garrison details Terraform vs GitOps vs System Initiative, Inc. writes how Apple beats burnout & Aline Lerner’s ad...
worse than touch interfaces are touchscreen interfaces. not only are they even more annoying because they usually have badly calibrated touch, but they all but promise that your UI will look like dated fugliness one year in.

I am helping out on project at work. I worked on the project when it started, and one decision we made was to store ADRs for design decisions local to the project within the repo
Two years later, re-reading these is really helping me get up to speed on why some things work the way they do. In particular we had a mob exploration of the codespace and questions popped up which were answered by these ADRs.
It’s hard to believe that I’m from a generation that paid for ringtones when should this stupid glass rectangle make a single noise now, I’d smash it to bits.

I took this photo of my kid playing with his blocks the other day, and when I realized it reminded me of something, well...I had to make this.
Go’s <code>defer</code> and <code>t.Cleanup</code> have similar semantics, but there’s a good reason to prefer the use of <code>t.Cleanup</code> specifically in the presence of parallel subtests.

Three words: tax the rich.
PSA: until you've experienced burnout, you are likely to underestimate how long it takes to recover. It's not a couple of months, it's 6-18 months for partial recovery, and maybe 3 years for full recovery (all depending on how bad it gets). The company burning you out will almost never support your recovery, mostly they'll drop you when you stop being productive.
Nobody in business cares about your health but you, so be your own advocate, or suffer the consequences.
TIL the hard way that GitHub domain verification and GitHub Pages domain verification are separate things. Quite the footgun.
I'm thankful for a security researcher who reached out about a hijackable subdomain rather than exploiting it.

putting a pronoun picker in your game is not only the right thing to do it makes the worst people in humanity have huge meltdowns basically for free so i can only say i recommend it highly

Picked up this can someone littered on the trail during my evening hike. Kinda not surprised that a fan of the show is also a fan of littering.

why hold back? he is silly and looks silly, and he won’t be offended
From @ratfactor@mastodon.art 's blog post

> Independent FOSS developers do not owe anything to companies, including the slightest effort to "secure the software supply chain" for "consumers." As the licenses say, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND …
As somebody else on fedi once said, we ain't part of your corporation's supply chain because you didn't sign any agreement with us to that effect.
I wonder how soon Github will start force-updating repositories for 'important software supply chain elements' whose developers have walked away from Github because of their policies and no longer push changes, bug fixes, security updates and so on to GH.
I have other thoughts, but they boil down to 'software supply chain security demands seem like they're going to kill your free ride, enjoy what happens next'.

fellow white autistic tech dudebros, what is your relationship with privilege?
I learned and then assumed that I'd often be the person with most privilege / automatic authority in a room due to those characteristics.
I am now reckoning that this might have often not been the case, due to autistic traits:
- speaking either too softly / too loudly
- usually being the listener / question asker
- looking boyish and weird
- not having my shit under control because adhd
- etc...

Ok, I cracked last night and upgraded my Starfield preorder so I could play it two days early. Not because I was terribly excited about it but because I couldn't stand not knowing whether it was a good game or not. And, well, I've put about two hours into it and it's honestly the most uninspired, unoriginal game I've played in a long time, the voice acting is bad, the writing is worse, the gameplay for the most part is Fallout 4 exactly and after 700 hours logged I'm a little done with Fallout 4, the space flight bit is like a less polished version of No Man's Sky except you can't fly down onto planets seamlessly—in 2023!—and the 3D engine has my GPU struggling above 90C with fans going like jet engines at medium settings where NMS easily stays below 80C at max settings and looks better at any setting, and I've already had one thermal shutdown event in addition to multiple crashes to desktop. So, basically, typical AAA game launch, will probably revisit in a couple of months when I'm in the mood for it and maybe it's less broken but right now the new NMS update sounds a lot more appealing.
So, everyone going "it's Skyrim meets No Man's Sky," I don't know what you've been smoking, it's literally just Fallout 4 in space, and as far as space goes it's nothing like NMS, or even Mass Effect, just another tired Outer Worlds style rehash of the same tired SF clichés. Well, I suppose if you liked Outer Worlds you'll probably like this one too, in the same way a lot of people enjoy eating at McDonald's. It's just, with Baldur's Gate 3 so fresh in mind I guess I've come to expect a little more.

But despite Chef's success, Adam constantly battled self-doubt and finding his footing as a leader.
