What’s the difference between productivity engineering and platform engineering? How can you continue to re-platform with a moving target? On this episode, we’re joined by Andy Glover, who spent ten years productivity engineering at Netflix, to discuss.
Ever been staying at a hotel and gotten annoyed that you always have to open a browser to log in for wireless access? Yup, me too. A recent instance was particularly frustrating and I had to pull out my favourite Swiss Army chainsaw in order to make my life a bit easier.
I am slightly annoyed at how much houses need to be maintained
Oof I feel you 😬 it's the worst!
In a riveting episode of the Mechanical Ink podcast, host Schalk Neethling welcomed Matteo Collina, a luminary in the Node.js community whose work has amassed over 22 billion downloads on npm in 2023 for the various open source modules he maintains. This episode was not just a deep dive into the technical intricacies of Node.js but also an enlightening discourse on the security landscape, community engagement, and the future of back-end development with the introduction of Platformatic. Here's a closer look at the discussions that made this episode a must-listen for developers.

You are allowed to have and do nice things for yourself.
The hard part about evaluating successful people who’ve been at a company for several years is it’s hard to determine if they’re good at getting things done or good at getting things done AT THAT COMPANY. Too many friends have shared stories of hiring ex-FAANG people who try to replay their previous company playbook without the same resources, culture or strategic advantages. This is important to filter for in interviews and interrogate yourself as well for similar tendencies.
all the testimonials on my site are from women (except one) and honestly I just feel lucky to have worked with so many badasses there's still so much progress to be made but sometimes I have to remember I haven't always been the only one in the room
Can web designers PLEASE STOP with the thing where the bulk of the website loads first and then things on the top load last so you invariable end up clicking on something you didn't mean to

@aral@mastodon.ar.al My little lad had a bad leukaemia when he was 20 months - in 2002. He had care at Great Ormond St - I calculated at the time (I’m an accountant) at somewhere between £250k and £500k, entirely free to us. And he lived. The US families sometimes didn’t fare so well. After they’d drained all insurance & resources their kids often died of something entirely treatable. Folks need to think very hard before voting for either #Tories or #Labour. @nhsactivistrn

there's the amusing line of thought regarding the “source-available” proprietary licenses, which maintains they're targeted against the abuse of the free software by the large saas companies. and of course it's bullshit. large saas companies are big enough to take over maintenance of the latest non-encumbered version, throw funds and people at it, and even provide the result to the public (cf. elastic search and opensearch). or, if they feel like it, they may just buy out the whole company with its product instead of paying licence fees – if they really need it and there's no other way to get the required expertise. the people who actually get shafted by the license changes and embrace of the proprietary model are the other open source projects that depend on the now-closed software, and small-to-mid-sized companies.
The Elastic folks out here being reply guys downplaying the Redis license changes is so very on brand. 🤦🥴
Not only could we not rid ourselves of PDFs but now we're inventing ways to talk to them
Source Available != Open Source That's not an opinion. If it's SSPL, BUSL, etc., it's categorically not "open source" according to the Open Source Definition.
I’ll let you in on a secret: I love sporadically updated weblogs. I subscribe to over 1200 feeds and most of them are sporadic or even technically “inactive”. Months often pass between updates It means that every post published was important to the writer Back in the days of snail mail, letters that began with “It’s been a while since I last wrote to you” were the ones people cherished the most You don’t need to post every day or even every week to have a blog that matters

I said it before, and I'll say it again: Marco Inaros is every dude who ever learned to ape the language of feminism and race and gender studies specifically as a means to hit on women and manipulate real, legitimate grievances into a play to increase their own power. He's a gaslighting abuser. Plain as.

Anyone got a new brain? I'd really like mine to give me a fucking break and let me recover 🧠
In this latest, they say: "Redis has been sponsoring the bulk of development alongside a dynamic community of developers eager to contribute". I was just talking to @quaid about this, and he made an excellent point: if your company-sponsored open source project is still 95% company-developed, _you messed up several years ago_.

Thank you for the shame-driven reminder 😅
I accidentally signed up for it over 4 years ago (and have been meaning to add the links) but as Jan mentions, I've still been part of the ring, but now I've finally gotten around to adding them!

$1 million budget: 90% test coverage, comprehensive DevOps pipeline, all work rooted in user research, delivery every two weeks, all code in an open repo. $300 million budget: No tests, no CI/CD, no user research, delivery on an annual cadence, code is a secret because it's a trash fire.

I've been at the OSS Growing Pains workshop focused on governance these last couple of days, and I've never felt more confident that I'm in the right place. I'll be unpacking and riding on this experience for a while! Deeply grateful to @shauna@social.coop for the invite, and to have spent time with amazing humans like @HeatherLeson@fosstodon.org, @silona@fosstodon.org, and @ntnsndr@social.coop ✨

Kyle Quest joins the show to tell Autumn & Justin all about the evolution of DockerSlim & minimal container images. Why are small container images important? What are different strategies to make containers smaller? Let’s find out!
Remember folks. When VC is funding Corporation that releases a Open Source project its only a matter of time until they take it back. Their goal is to get their product embedded into your organization and abuse you for free work in the hopes they can eventually sell their corporation and cash out. Its always good for them, and rarely good for you.
Ooh very cool! We've got [this wobbler bowl(https://www.petsandfriends.co.uk/products/lickimat-wobble-green-dog-treat-bowl-16cm) that our (2 year old) doggo uses and that slows her down a bit, but have found the K9Connectables have been the best for slowing down food - but screw top on the Wobbl looks very good!
