Chatting with one of the recruiters I know, the answers are yes we do, and no, it's not a b2b contract. I can put you in touch with them to get more concrete answers?
Yeah it was, I've send an update to make it a reply, but looks like most of the servers ignored it 😅

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me I love this! Did it ever cause trouble/drama at any place you worked at? Even granted you’re allowed to disclose, I assume being public about it could surface some bitterness amongst colleagues?
Quick answer is https://www.jvt.me/posts/2022/09/21/year-later-salary-history/ and slower answer is "I'll reply tomorrow" 😁
I've seen some internally, but not externally, sorry - my own salary is public if that helps as a guide 🤞🏽

github tip: you can use "redirect.github.com" when referencing an issue/PR from another repo inside an issue/PR in your repo this will avoid your issue getting backlinked into the other repo's issue, reducing noise. example: "github.com/nodejs/node/6969" becomes: "redirect.github.com/nodejs/node/6969"

Boosts are not necessarily endorsements because I often scroll through my timeline without reading anything and instead treat it like Guitar Hero where I tap on stars and boosts whenever the beat feels right.

I’ve helped organize two meetups in London. Only a few would show up for the first one. “Because it’s raining, people rather not go outside”, the other organizers told me. So the next one I hosted was in the summer. Only a few would show up for that one. “Because it’s not raining, people rather be outside” the other organizers told me.

@heydon@front-end.social Despite so much evidence, people just refuse to listen. CAPTCHA companies have no incentive to tell implementers that the crap tun of data collected by people solving CAPTCHAs is their business model.

@ppatel@mstdn.social People don't talk enough about how fucking shit CAPTCHA is. It doesn't even catch spam effectively. In my last contract I argued and argued to replace it with a honey pot. We did so and went from 100 plus spam emails a day to zero, and got rid of the accessibility barrier with it.

Even if you ignore everything else, all the theft and fraud and exploitation, all the waste, all the manipulation, all of it. Generative AI is still unreliable. I don't understand why people are so eager to use an unreliable tool. Like, yeah, I love those wobbly hammers! It makes no sense.

People say content is being locked up in proprietary silos but look all I had to do to get an RSS feed of articles on a certain site was install a mitm proxy to intercept their mobile app's requests, fake an SSL certificate to inspect them, reverse engineer their internal APIs, then write a script to discretely query aforementioned APIs and generate an RSS feed file on a schedule. Simple! 🙄 #indieweb #rss

not sure who to attribute this to - there is NO reason any of us should have to "thrive in a fast paced environment" or "work well under pressure." most of our daily work is not an emergency and our culture of fake urgency and immediacy just to make more profit for people in the c-suite is burning people out. stop sending people into fight or flight and expecting them to bend over backward because you dont know how plan or manage resources properly

Watching Return of the Jedi, and something grated on me for a moment. "It's an older code, sir, but it checks out. I *was* about to let them through." Surely the Empire would have better OpSec than this? ...oh, wait. Gigantic Enterprise-scale operation, driven by fear and tight deadlines, with lots of silos and mini-empires with a culture of internal rivalry for Dear Leader's favour? Never mind. It checks out; I'll let it through.

The thing about #tech #layoffs that people who haven’t been through it often don’t understand is that morale never recovers. The employees who remain will never have the same relationship with that company, bosses or peers. Watching people you respect pack their stuff and crying on the phone with their spouses is something that never goes away. When I survived a layoff in my 20s I became a “do exactly what the ticket says” person. I stopped suggesting ideas, providing feedback, believing anything a manager told me. If you are a company considering layoffs, especially a profitable company, you should approach it as “this department will have 100% turnover”. The second I got another job offer I left that company and six months later nobody who had been there at the time of layoffs remained. I’ve seen that pattern play out multiple times.

I do NOT enjoy the weird religious-colonialist overtones and origins of the phrase "servant leadership" it is not a good phrase I do not like it and I think it has not escaped its 1970s source enough to have transcended it.
