Absolutely wild how many companies are adopting AI notetaking apps for meetings. Y'all'er just chill sending your planning, product direction and revenue details to some random third party in exchange for them doing the low value task of halfassing note taking for you?

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me this is such an important topic. It’s 15 years since some colleagues let me know how much less than the men in my team I was being paid. The knowledge helped me to negotiate a bit, and I remain grateful for their consideration and openness.

This week, Parul Singh shares the story of how she won a legal case over an ex-employer for ADHD discrimination. Parul is a Recruitment Marketing Partner and Neurodiversity Advocate at xDesign, and an ex-tech recruiter. She was diagnosed with ADHD at aged 25 and uses her platform to awareness about neurodiversity in the workplace and in the recruitment process to build a more equitable future for neurodivergent people. In order to make a bigger impact, she created a new role at xDesign, "Neurodiversity Advocate” in which she works closely with the People Team to lead the internal neurodiversity community. We all know how important it is to feel less alone. She also feeds into internal policies, processes and supports other neurodivergent employees at xDesign. As a woman of colour, she also puts a spotlight on intersectionality within Neurodiversity and the compounding impact that being from multiple minority groups has on barriers we face” Topics: 00:00 What are your earliest ADHD memories 04:29 Unhealthy sources of dopamine 11:00 Misdiagnosed with depression + finally getting an ADHD diagnosis 18:47 Normalising ADHD in life + at work 22:38 How did you feel after your diagnosis? 28:52 Imposter syndrome 32:00 Winning a discrimination tribunal + Neurodiversity in business 38:13 What is disability discrimination?

I'm still not over the person who compared large language models to be the same as someone owning and using a wheelchair, as a means of accessibility for writing code. Pushing a wheelchair in one meter does not consume one gallon of gas. Using a wheelchair does not require vacuuming up the internet just so it can give you a misspelling of the word strawberry.

Well, I thought #OggCamp2024 was great. Thanks in particular to the team and crew for making it happen, and thanks to the community for keeping the spirit of #OggCamp alive, and sharing it again this weekend. My blog is a good way to keep up with what I’m up to, and has links to other places you can find me online between now and OggCamp.Next. https://andypiper.co.uk

wp shows that the world would be so much duller if successful people could just to go therapy and chill counting their stacks or something. smh what a clusterfuck. I don't like wordpress as a tech stack all that much, but... i really admire wordpress for how it democratizes access to self-hosting and allowed so many people and businesses to own their online presence. Sad to see it take such a hit, and hopefully it'll recover.

Lol I'd say something about the Wordpress thing but Occam's razor dictates that there's really nothing to add that hasn't been said. This makes me want to pour over @ntnsndr@social.coop's book on governance sooner than later. I'm highly skeptical of unaccountable hierarchical organizations (so much so I'm willing to threaten my stability over it) and this is why. Power corrupts.

On the topic of joining a #union and the collective bargaining port we as workers should work towards at #OggCamp2024, I'd also recommend discussing your salary with your colleagues!
It doesn't have to be as public as my /salary page, but it's hugely useful to do and helps work out inequity

Really enjoyed #oggcamp2024. It's great that a conference based entirely around Open Source software and Freedom exists. Open source may have a reputation of being just for nerds, but it's about *so much more* than just tinkering with code. You don't need to be a coder to benefit. When things are open source any bad behaviour (i.e. tracking, telemetry, privacy violations) hiding in our software has nowhere to hide. This becomes more important as we become increasingly reliant on our devices.

People who attend a conference talk but who proceed to open their laptop and work: get the fuck out and do that elsewhere. You’re more annoying than herpes.
Thanks for those who came to my talk at #OggCamp2024, "89 things I know about Git commits (abridged version)" based on blog post of the same name - glad I resisted doing a couple of slide changes in the ~90 seconds before I went up on stage 🫣
