The core here is: - I am accepting work - If you are doing open source stuff, a hobby project, etc. I'm $25/hour. - If you're a tech company, I'm $125/hour. - If you're a small business, etc, I'm in between those two numbers, but closer to the hobby number. - I can do lots of weird computer bullshit, and I can contract out to people I already work with and trust for the small number of things I can't do myself. - Initial discussions are free, and I'll quote the whole project up front. - I'd rather do weird BS for individuals than corporate stuff for corporations.

Want to take a vacation from open source maintenance? You should. Did you know that GitHub has a profile status feature to mark yourself as busy, mute notifications, and prompt folks who mention you that you're busy for a while? Before today the longest (optional) "automatically clear this status" preset was a week. Now the longest preset is a month. Because let's face it, a week is not always a long enough break from the demands of other people. #OpenSource #GitHub #OSS

I do wish I could tell recruiters that I’ll never apply to a company that reports record profits and also lays people off. Like why are we wasting each others time talking about corporate mottos and exciting projects? Your leadership treats people like disposable cups. That’s all I need to know. #tech #layoffs

Attached: 1 image Jack Dorsey is furious that #Bluesky has attracted "very very common" people. He also doesn't like the idea of moderation tools facilitating the banning of racists. All these tech billionaires are like a version of the movie Big, in which a pre-adolescent boy wakes up in the body of an aging Howard Hughes. Or Colonel Kurtz. Or a sardine. #JackDorsey

I know have separate Mastodon lists of bridged #BlueSky accounts I follow here (thanks @snarfed.org@snarfed.org), Flipboard accounts I follow here (thanks @mike@flipboard.social), federated WordPress blogs I follow here (thanks @matthias@pfefferle.org ), federated Podcast feeds I follow here (thanks @dave@podcastindex.social ) and Threads accounts I follow here (thanks @jessel@universeodon.com & @pcottle@cyberplace.social ) ... and that fact that we can do this at all, and now feels like the new normal, should be an Internet history milestone of some kind.

today my therapist tried to help me brainstorm potential personal interests, because I said I'm doing nothing because I did it all when I was manic he said music, and I told him about how I play the electric guitar, got into synths, and worked for a music production company he said school, and I told him I have three degrees already and on and on eventually he said "maybe you just like trains or something" and I started showing him photos of all my train trips he was like 😩

Like many other technologists, I gave my time and expertise for free to #StackOverflow because the content was licensed CC-BY-SA - meaning that it was a public good. It brought me joy to help people figure out why their #ASR code wasn't working, or assist with a #CUDA bug. Now that a deal has been struck with #OpenAI to scrape all the questions and answers in Stack Overflow, to train #GenerativeAI models, like #LLMs, without attribution to authors (as required under the CC-BY-SA license under which Stack Overflow content is licensed), to be sold back to us (the SA clause requires derivative works to be shared under the same license), I have issued a Data Deletion request to Stack Overflow to disassociate my username from my Stack Overflow username, and am closing my account, just like I did with Reddit, Inc. https://policies.stackoverflow.co/data-request/ The data I helped create is going to be bundled in an #LLM and sold back to me. In a single move, Stack Overflow has alienated its community - which is also its main source of competitive advantage, in exchange for token lucre. Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow's former instantiation, used to fulfill a psychological contract - help others out when you can, for the expectation that others may in turn assist you in the future. Now it's not an exchange, it's #enshittification. Programmers now join artists and copywriters, whose works have been snaffled up to create #GenAI solutions. The silver lining I see is that once OpenAI creates LLMs that generate code - like Microsoft has done with Copilot on GitHub - where will they go to get help with the bugs that the generative AI models introduce, particularly, given the recent GitClear report, of the "downward pressure on code quality" caused by these tools? While this is just one more example of #enshittification, it's also a salient lesson for #DevRel folks - if your community is your source of advantage, don't upset them.
