@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?
This content type is full of IndieWeb post types, which are all content types which allow me to take greater ownership of my own data. These are likely unrelated to my blog posts. You can find a better breakdown by actual post kind below:

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 🤞🏽
i'm being asked to "develop a career plan", why can't people just be as surprised as i am that i'm still alive and leave it at that
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.
“so Luna, what did you get up to today?” I’m so glad you asked! I spent the afternoon figuring out all sorts of css crimes to give an interactive light hypnotic induction the “copying the website UI” visual treatment it needed.

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.

The plenary speakers for #StateOfOpenCon are up on the website - and, the whole schedule is packed with fantastic expertise. Exciting to be a liaison for all of these speakers! Some community tickets are available. https://stateofopencon.com
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

LinkedIn loves to tell me that my post has received a bunch of impressions, but I haven't gotten a single conversion from it, so I guess that tells me everything I need to know about that platform.
Nadella is super concerned about all the generative AI he put everywhere; we should definitely think about guardrails, he says, while putting more generative AI everywhere
I have a common dread that there will be a minor earthquake that will cause the glasses in the cupboard in the kitchen to rub together and make a horrible noise. And it has only just now occurred to me that this is absolutely batshit.

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.

Documentation: "This will return a 200 status and {msg: "ok", apikey: "yourapikey"} if all goes well." Me: omg, it's calling someone a pikey?! I seriously did a double-take. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikey
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.
I am increasingly convinced that hyper independence and self-sufficiency is a trauma response or coping mechanism.
Copilot decreases code quality leading to more reverts/refactoring. Who could have seen this coming? :blobcatthinkingglare: https://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2024/01/25/copilot-research.aspx #Copilot #GitHub #programming #development

PSA: Do not put git repos inside other git repos. Git is not a package manager. You will make yourself sad. It doesn't matter how many conceptual primitives they share. Don't do it. Just use a package manager. You don't even need a package repository. You can still download things directly from git repos if you want to. Just list them in a package.json or something, and let npm do it. Or go.mod. Anything. Please. For your own sake. And everyone who comes after you.
