I'm interested in attending
@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me think it's online too but unsure of details of that! Think Meetup may share details.

Such a huge part of being an adult for me is having the freedom to create rules and boundaries that help me become the person I want to be. You don’t have to live by the rules that were imposed on you as a kid or even as an adult. You get to make new ones that work for *you*.
Between and I took 10851 steps.
Past-self just saved me 2+ hours by documenting how to do the thing that took ~3 hours to figure out and fix last time. Good job past-self. Also, good job current-self for remembering that past-self should have documented this and then going to find the doc.

I finally bought @beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com's new book, You Deserve A Tech Union, because we do deserve one. And very amusingly, my learning & development budget covered it. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 https://abookapart.com/products/you-deserve-a-tech-union

If we live in a simulation, doesn't that mean that bare metal servers are actually VMs?

> "Just as GitHub was founded on Git, today we are re-founded on Copilot." Look, I respect the heck out of the technical implementation of LLMs, but let's be honest: statistically they produce average code at best and misunderstood/invalid code most often. They re-implement old bugs and obfuscate programmer intent and anyone who is leaning on them for more than a pair assist is making software harder for the rest of us. #AI #Git #GitHub #Copilot #GenerativeAI #LLM #ChatGPT 🔗 https://github.blog/2023-11-08-universe-2023-copilot-transforms-github-into-the-ai-powered-developer-platform/
i mean look, this coding ai business can't be that hard to get right, just train it on well-commented code that has no bugs

Whilst I like the idea of the ‘2 pizza team’ as originated by Amazon, at some point we are going to need more than just me on this.
Gonna give a talk ("Open Source: Boundaries, Burnout and Business”) and chat with folks about open source software at the first OpenUK Scottish meet up in Edinburgh on 22nd November 2023 from 6-9PM. Would be lovely to see some of you there! https://www.meetup.com/openuk-glasgow-edinburgh/events/296929069/
As exhausting as it can be, I feel like many open source software maintainers could make a reasonable dent into the net hatred put into this world by choosing to quietly ignore the issues they think are stupid rather than trying to publicly humiliate the people who file them

thinking today about back when I was in code school in SF one of the cofounders was OBSESSED with my two-character twitter handle, and even though I went by my birth name at the time, he would call me kf so I called him by his handle, too a year later, one of the staff told me that every time I did this, he would go upstairs in the office, slam doors, and tell the staff that I was insulting him for having a four-character handle 😂 anyway that’s how I got my name 🤣 #fragilemasculinity
An update that absolutely no one could've seen coming**: One of the companies using AI instead of qualified copywriters to draft their career guide blog posts is now realizing that these texts are highly generic, repetitive, and of little value for readers. They will have to be redone, and a lot of time and resources were wasted. Awww. 😏 (** Just kidding. This was, of course, utterly predictable.) #AI #Fail

Hot take: a virtual hackathon is “just” an online open source community tuned for onboarding and “my first app” programs. The real unlock is long term maintenance and useful apps that get devs paid.

Just got your text from last night: you need to cut the red wire first to stop the countdown.
@sil@mastodon.social Not sure if you saw this; https://clig.dev/ - seems in line with what I think I've seen you previously wrote (and if it isn't, I'd love to hear your views on why not 😃)
some naive networking greybeard once wrote that a good URL never changes, or something but URLs do change because everything changes, and the expectations around their longevity and change are one place where people exert power and have power used over them. if people rely on a URL they're actually relying on a stream of labor. There is no "static" content, all data storage requires some portion of ongoing renewal: new materials and ongoing human care.
Most folks don’t seem to realize how gravely under-resourced and under-funded the #PHP project is. For a technology that powers 77% of the web and has very little corporate backing, it's a wonder the project makes any headway at all. At times, it almost feels like the industry is doing this on purpose to choke out the language.
In light of the GitHub Universe announcements where they announce they are “re-founded on Copilot” allow me to re-present my blog post: https://blog.edwardloveall.com/lets-make-sure-github-doesnt-become-the-only-option

I have a new way that people can support my work, if they’d rather not use Ko-fi, it's direct via Stripe: https://support.thisismissem.social/ This means less fees, better invoices & receipts, and an overall simpler admin experience for myself. You can also manage your subscriptions and payments with ease too!

Whenever faced with excess meetings or unnecessary bureaucracy, I remember the contractor's mantra: > It all bills the same.
Until there is a definitive adjudication of the copyright status of LLM training data, it is *deeply irresponsible* to use Github Copilot for open source. I will refuse contributions created with it on any project I'm involved with, as well as permanently ban any user caught sneaking in Copilot-generated code in defiance of this rule. I would strongly encourage all maintainers to take this stand as well. License headaches are already bad enough without secret poison pills being injected.
The year I worked at Google was the Year Of Social, and everyone's OKRs involved integrating with Google+ somehow, and if you did that you got a large bonus. Anyway getting strong vibes like that when GitHub's new font family's landing page starts randomly talking about Copilot half-way. Update: The above has been described as a cheap dunk, and to be fair the CoPilot output having different font thing is fine. But. I guess I should expand with some context about my year at Google—
One of my ex colleagues used to do this a lot and it took me a while to unlearn that "Nice." was actually a valid and not sarcastic reply 😅
I’ve been accused by millennial friends of using “gen x full stops”. “is charlie mad at me??”
I’m trying really hard to let things go because I cannot take on the entire world but if I tell you somebody is non-binary your first question should not be “AMAB or AFAB”? That is very hostile. Thank you!
Oh nah, GitHub is doing too much

AI-powered content generation tools give me the mega ick. Why should I read something you couldn’t be bothered to write? @maggie@indieweb.social is guiding us through the dark forest of generative AI #ffconf
I dunno gang, maybe this whole "internet" thing was a mistake #ffconf
#ffconf in general is a good vibes conference, but there is always a talk or two that makes me go "oh god we're all doomed"
