Some tactics for writing in public
This week Adam is joined by Abi Noda, founder and CEO of DX to talk about DX AKA DevEx (or the long-form Developer Experience). Since the dawn of software development there has been this push to understand what makes software teams efficient, but more importantly what does it take to understand developer productivity? ...
In the public sector we're often told to follow what the private sector do, that they are the model to follow. In reality, we do some things better in the public sector: accessibility, user research that is not led by profit, working in the open, avoiding deceptive patterns, going slow and not breaking things. The web itself came from the public sector, we can all learn from each other.

Whenever news breaks of bad decisions from a popular product, there's a flurry of recommendations of various alternatives, and in that mix there's always folks extolling the virtues of hosting your own. As a person who works on security for an open source project, my spicy take is this: unless you enjoy being your own sysadmin (some folks do!), any hosted solution from a vendor that is currently reputable and currently has acceptable terms is a better, safer option than self-hosting.

My talk is on Weds 11:20 - 12:00; follow me to the Q&A after so I can bequeath you a ticket for a *free* copy of my book I’ll sign at the Fastly booth 14:30 - 15:30. See you there ✨
It’s maddeningly US-centric with its passive aggression, toxic positivity, and work-worship agenda. It’s also hilariously mis-targeted for Europeans. Having worked with people from all over Europe, the work culture is the same. “My time is MY time”. Just last week I asked a junior colleague to do something (not knowing the time) at half 4 on Friday. Their reply was leaning back on their chair and poking their head around the desk divider and saying “have you seen the time? You can absolutely get to fuck with that”. Completely the correct response.

#Zoom just changed their terms and conditions to include using anyone's video and audio for training #AI with no option for opting out. You too can help train #deepfake s! Living with a disabled spouse, I used Zoom a lot to get through the ongoing global pandemic. What alternatives are out there for remote teaching/meetings? #BoycottZoom

Nice 🙌🏽
I heard a confession from a friend the other day who's working on ML in health care who's leaving that field as soon as he can because as best as he and his team can measure, the most important thing ML analytics can bring to hospitals is the mathematical certainty they should have taken the money they spent on ML analytics and hired nurses instead.
Yesss! Renovate is great 👏🏽 are you self hosting or using the hosted GitHub app?
Had a nice productive post-holiday morning getting Renovate set up the k8s.social to handle automated update PRs for me. 😃 Been putting it off for too long now. And with that, everything running in the cluster is now fully updated.! 🎉
I would have more patience for the argument that #OpenSource is dead were it not for the fact the people making the argument are benefiting from huge quantities of the stuff and would rather their customers didn't benefit the same #SoftwareFreedom

Anyway, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should one e-mail wokewatch@dailymail.co.uk to #Troll, #Shitpost or just plain take the piss. No, that would be WRONG. Oh, for shame! #News #UK #Media
