I have to say, the amount of frustration I have in day-to-day work didn't decrease when I switched from MacOS to Linux on my workstation, but I did gain the ability to fix those frustrations and move on.

@probablyfine the actual useful thing is for software developers to care about their writing skills, which is a vanishingly rare trait

I took a few days off, left the house (this part was a mistake), caught an illness and now I'm back at work feeling rubbish and just not very clever!! Please nobody ask me any hard questions ...

Here's the current state of the tech industry: A week or so ago I went for a big group meal and at the end they brought the card reader machine for us to pay and it had an option for us to go through an itemised bill, check some options, and pay for just those options (plus an equivalent fraction of the service charge). It was amazing! This genuinely saved us about half an hour of talking at cross-purposes and poking numbers into our own phone calculators and hoping nobody did the sums wrong and accidentally stole someone else's tip. I genuinely would consider going back there for future group meals despite the fact that I'd finished my food before Alec's arrived and he'd finished his before Darren's came, so thoroughly do I dislike the traditional bill-splitting process. And yet in terms of technology, it was nothing but a low-end smartphone running an app built entirely from OS-standard UI components. No AI, no invasion of privacy, no adverts, and I have to assume no VC funding or elaborate toolchain. Just a good idea implemented well, and genuinely we all went away commenting about how clever and useful it was. And I don't remember the previous time I experienced that. We know what people want. They want you to use the massive technological advances we've already made to build useful things that work. But apparently there's no money in that 🤷

a month ago i left a job i held for several years, a job that took me through a winding road of launching a product, going through an acquisition, lots of high points and lows...but ultimately i got to end the journey on my own terms, on my own time. i couldn't have asked for anything more, especially given the state of the world. i'm so very proud of my work at glitch and fastly, and it's special how i got to be one of just a handful of people who can say they have grown and lead millions of developers in creating the web and community! it was a lot of fucking work, though, and i need a break.

Some try to keep on top of their emails by aspiring to reach Inbox Zero. I try to keep on top of my code by aspiring to reach Branches Zero. If you're taking continuous integration seriously, you should have zero branches most of the time, and they should only exist (a) if you're not doing trunk-based development and (b) for as short a time as possible.

FWIW employees can go to a board and demand the replacement of a CEO if they find them incompetent. It's worse for them if it goes public. *looks at employees at Mozilla*

wow 95% of LGBTQ+ adults registered to vote (according to this recent HRC survey sampling ~2400 in Aug 2024) I don't know their sampling methodology but that's pretty wild compared to any other voting registration stat I've seen. Similar to covid vaccine stats which are also wildly good for us. Makes me think about how folks only look to marginalized groups on the national stage to talk about disparity & trauma and not to learn from us as a dynamic, taking action, motivated success story.

no country that has a death penalty has the right to lecture others about human rights

Anytime someone tells me they're pregnan I can't stop myself from blurting out EWW YOU HAD SEX WITH A BOY, i am 39 years old

What happens when the foundation behind a project isn't independent and empowered. The WordPress Foundation seems to not really be independent of Automattic or have any people working for it https://wordpressfoundation.org/about/financials/2023-financials/ Compare to @drupalassoc, @openjsf@social.lfx.dev and other more functional ones https://mstdn.social/@TechCrunch/113197135186493986

be careful not to mix up a mommy kink with a mummy kink; it’s all fun and games until she’s pulling your brain out through your nose
