One of the reasons that PayPal was successful is that when Elon started his not shipping stuff, blaming and disparaging his best engineers, and demanding untimely and unnecessary "whole system rewrites," Peter Thiel fired him immediately. I'm not a Thiel fan... but I understand.

We must wish for a genderless society. As long as society determines what a gender expression must be, and who is allowed to express it, the result will always be the same: the oppression of the gender role incapable of overpowering the other.

Code coverage for integration tests, available in Go 1.20.

A thing about Mastodon that I didn't realize I'd missed from pre-algorithm Twitter is the sheer randomness of the content. No longer honed to be hyper-engaging (usually by being scary or enraging) I now see weird experiments, fun scientific papers, random shitposts. Of course it's not all exactly in my wheelhouse, but that makes it simultaneously more *interesting* while being less *addictive*. The whole experience feels a lot healthier for my brain.

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me this can be a security risk, which is why many APIs don’t have it — if there’s a successful XSS attack, then an attacker can find out which account they have control of 😔

My decks are regularly over 100 slides. Tell the story the way that works for you and your audience. What works for one person won’t for another. These made up rules compress your talent into someone else’s box. Build your own box. And then make it a platform.

Hey - it’s #ADHDObsessionWednesday! I want to hear from my #adhd peeps: what’s your current obsession or passion? I’m still obsessed with #Mastodon, the #Fediverse, and the possibility of a better internet. So I added a bunch of #IndieWeb features to my new site. (I was gonna do this on Monday but… I got distracted & forgot 😆) https://whatwasidoingagain.com/adhd-asides/adhdobsessionwednesday/

I love international women’s day bc we get to see how many people trip over themselves to *not* include trans women in it, while somehow including AFAB non-binary people??

Absolutely wild security posture by the best and brightest minds in Government. Not "let's not use WhatsApp", but "let's delete the messages, I'm sure that's safe."

Post details

NEW: Government ministers are using technology that auto deletes their WhatsApp messages after posting. It’s raised fears transparency rules which demand relevant policy messages are stored (and are FOIable) are being circumvented. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/…

A hot take.

In better news, just got an update from Github Sponsorship system -- there is now a new non-trivial recurring contribution by a corporate user. And that makes it 2nd substantial corporate contribution for Jackson project. Looks like GH Sponsors might become a revenue stream?

This is extremely fucked up and cruel, especially considering medically vulnerable ppl are told they MUST wear their masks at all times to stay safe and if they even let it slip once and become infected and die/become disabled that’s on them

Every company has tech debt, but Twitter 1.0 had extensively invested (pioneered even) many mechanisms to safely test and deploy changes (including many types of config changes) in prod. Guess all those thousands of engineers were actually doing something worthwhile, after all.

Sure, when you just write out every outage we’ve had this year and then mention that there were other issues not even included in the list it sounds bad. But what if you DIDN’T write them out like this? Wouldn’t look so bad then, would it?

Twіtter API (@fake_api)Mon, 06 Mar 2023 21:20 GMT

Thinking of the time Elon publicly fired an Android engineer for saying that the app was slow because of technical debt and a full rewrite is needed to address perf problems. 3 months on, Elon himself proposes a full rewrite himself, because a config change caused an outage. 😅

Cindy Sridharan (@copyconstruct)Mon, 06 Mar 2023 21:18 GMT

Everyone please stop talking about this. It was just a minor outage of the entire platform for over an hour caused by our need to relentlessly monetize every aspect of this website without any knowledgeable staff or adequate planning. This is not a big deal!

Ok I have to say this as someone who still codes, by hand, everyday. Using terms like "brittle for no good reason" to justify tight deadlines and/or not doing regression testing makes you sound like you don't know anything about Software Engineering

I don't ever want to hear an aspiring #AR developer tell me they have impostor syndrome EVER again. (Unless you're the person that made this. In which case... slide into my DMs, I have some free tutorials I'd be delighted to share. No shame, just learning!).
