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:
i'll say it again, fascists go after small, marginalized minorities bc doing so gives them an opportunity to establish precedent for broad, invasive powers against citizens in a way they don't think the mainstream will fight back against
once those laws are established, they won't be used JUST against us marginalized folks
A while ago, I wrote a little about what to include in a README for a project (https://matthiasott.com/notes/how-to-readme).
I now also created and published a README template I’ll use in upcoming projects. I hope it is useful! Any contributions or corrections are very welcome. 🤗

There was a lot of press about the nasty environmental impact of cryptocurrency (all of it definitely valid!). But it also makes me wonder the same about AI, especially big publicly-accessible ones like GPT - GPUs and accelerators draw a lot of power, not to mention e-waste generated by inexonerable technological advancement, and I don't really see anyone talking about it. Maybe it's a non-issue, I don't know much about how these things work in the background, but surely it's noticeable?

Nóva's law of principal architecture review documentation.
In a sufficiently large organization the number of pages in a Google doc is roughly equal to the number of people who will disagree with you either publicly or privately.
The only way to ensure your ideas will be accepted and supported broadly is to achieve absolute 0 and never write a doc.
If your ideas are too complicated to communicate "at runtime" via audio/text/email or otherwise it will never be accepted broadly by the org.

I wish Apple would stop doing pop-ups asking for my password without providing any opportunity to get details on which update it's prompting me to approve. It feels like this is training users to put their passwords in arbitrary pop-ups and leads to users more open to phishing attacks.

Easy, cheap labour rights improvement which will never happen: require employers to tell employees how much their salary has changed, in real terms, every year.
is there any website or app that brings you joy? pls share
minimum requirement: it must not reek of capitalism (i.e. shouldn't try to immediately sell me shit or shove cookies/ads in my face)
extra points if:
- it's accessible
- it doesn't require auth
- you actually use it frequently
- the person who made it is on this site (tag them)

So, as some of you may know, I was on the #Twitter Developers "Insiders" programme in the before times.
As part of that, they occasionally sent me branded swag as a thank-you gift.
Insiders would regularly get different things sent to them.
I didn't know how highly esteemed they held me until I saw this sticker on the delivery box...!

Not Vercel but if I was gonna be doing it I'd reach for the Architect Framework as it makes it straightforward to get lots of infra set up to handle this sort of thing
Took one of them autism quotient self-tests and I got 34 out of a possible 50. I wonder if I get any bonus points for the number of times I went "this question needs more context before I can answer it properly."

Is your 10x engineer really 10x more productive if they don’t boost team performance at all? Can we measure that?
The best engineers I’ve worked with are the ones who can simplify problems and guide the team through the simplified vision. These engineers didn’t look 10x productive by measures of line count, to git commits or hours in the office. But their team got a lot done and, more importantly, didn’t waste time on dumb shit and over engineering. Most orgs suck at measuring those folks.
