Went to a tech meetup in Dublin yesterday and no one I spoke to had heard of the fediverse (or Mastodon, even). Iâm talking about software engineers. This blows my mind. (At least everyone I spoke with has heard of it now, though. And when people do hear about it â as with the #SmallWeb â they do get it. And theyâre excited about it.) #fediverse #mastodon #SmallWeb

I was concerned that if my build runs every 12 hours, itâll keep sending webmentions for the same posts. Remy assures me that duplicate webmentions arenât an issue, as the accepting server will just respond with a 200 if I send a webmention that itâs already seen.
Although that should be true, I found that some folks don't handle it as well - my site was deploying multiple times an hour so was a bit noisier, but worth knowing that not every Webmention receiver is equal

I strive to respect everybodyâs personal preferences, so I usually steer clear of debates about which is the best programming language, text editor or operating system. However, recently I was asked a couple of times why I like and use a lot of Go, so here is a coherent article to fill in the blanks of my ad-hoc in-person ramblings :-).

All good, and that sounds good! When I have some spare time I need to revisit my latest client and add some features to make it easier to use (including doing the work to actually Open Source it)
Ouch. A large OpenStreetMap group has been using a proprietary chat platform as a community space for ~10 yrs. Now they gotta pay a $80k/yr (or $10k??) for usage. đ¤Żđąđ˘ Slack (now Salesforce) now wants to charge @OpenStreetMapUS for all ~6k users on their server. đ˘đ˘ Ouch.

In the greatest crisis humanity has ever faced, caused by overuse of energy, our Tech Bro magicians continue to invent technologies that not alone are not energy conserving, they are massively, massively energy consumptive. From bitcoin to AI, tech becomes greedier and greedier for energy.

Recently I've seen a few people comment on the air quality readings inside large art galleries; the results were far better than on trains, in planes and airports, in movie theatres and so on, due to the need for conservation of the artwork. It's just so strange thinking about how we apparently care more about protecting art than we do about protecting our own lives.

The secret to software engineering is to focus all of your energy as a team (and a company) on learning how to share information between each other better. Build that understanding. Build that ability to uplift and teach each other. For fuck's sake, stop worrying about over engineering and worry about under understanding the problem. The over engineering goes away the second you start putting humans first and start prioritizing understanding over an artificial roadmap built without context
Virtually every application today relies on dozens -- and sometimes hundreds -- of open-source components. Many of those get updated at a rapid clip in
