It’s not particularly surprising - I assume a lot of this is motivated by the fact that people building language models are training them on data they don’t have the rights to, but that doesn’t mean we should encourage it, or come close to defining it as open 🙃

"why does software require maintenance, it's not like it wears down"
Because software is not generally useful for any inherent good; what matters is its relationship with the surrounding context, and that context is in perpetual change.
What's going on over at Bluesky?

I’m a software developer with a bunch of industry experience. I’m also a comp sci professor, and whenever a CS alum working in industry comes to talk to the students, I always like to ask, “What do you wish you’d taken more of in college?”
Almost without exception, they answer, “Writing.”
One of them said, “I do more writing at Google now than I did when I was in college.”
I am therefore begging, begging you to listen to @stephstephking@mstdn.social: https://mstdn.social/@stephstephking/113336270193370876

I should add:
If your employer doesn't increase your pay by at least 4% per year, the value of your pay is regressing, not keeping up with the average rate of inflation.
If your employer is aware and does this anyway, that's a pretty clear message that you should seek one that values 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”

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.
