Why share technical stuff online? You never know how they may become useful to others!
10 months ago I found a fix to an Eleventy issue I had. I documented it on my website in my /snacks section. https://hamatti.org/snacks/fix-templatecontent-too-early-in-eleventy/
Today, I noticed someone having the same issue on 11ty Discord and went to share it. And then I found out that Christopher had already shared my solution in the issue and it had helped them!

Contributing to #opensource through docs and blogs is good!
nothing like seeing a layoff done well to re-radicalize me about how horribly mine was done
never forget finding out I was laid off from a github notification while I was on vacation (yes, I was totally reachable)
every time I try to learn something new the answer lies with the most annoying person in the world talking through it on a 36 minute youtube video. i choose ignorance.

It appears that Slack is due for its annual GDPR compliance training and this year greed has made them choose the more expensive training option.
Just had a really great call with @aaronpk@aaronparecki.com, and all I'm gunna say is I'm really excited for what's coming.
A one hour call turning into a four hour call is perfectly fine when it's as amazingly good as that call!
My home town, like many, has a Hollywood-inspired ‘walk of fame’ where local celebrities names are included in stars. Yet the dude I went to school with who had the massive willy who went to LA to star in porn films, is not amongst them.
I've just invented a new way to filter out employers that haven't done any diligence:

I've just done my first run-through of my #EMFcamp talk.
Exactly 27 minutes long.
Which means - assuming no one laughs, claps, or heckles - I'll have exactly enough time for 1½ "not so much a question, more of a comment"s at the end 😄
I finally did it. I used an LLM. A couple of months ago, MS added its Copilot to Windows. I turned it off. But the latest update shoved it back in my face and tried to get me to let it use my data. So I asked it a question: How do I get rid of Copilot? It suggested I uninstall it like any other program, but MS removed that option. But Copilot went on to tell me the exact registry key to change to block it from loading, and now it's gone.

Suggested Read: Are you worried about OSS maintainer burnout? | Creating a more sustainable model for `oapi-codegen` in the future · Jamie Tanna | Software Engineer https://www.jvt.me/posts/2024/05/09/oapi-codegen-sustainable/ #devopsish
The core here is:
- I am accepting work
- If you are doing open source stuff, a hobby project, etc. I'm $25/hour.
- If you're a tech company, I'm $125/hour.
- If you're a small business, etc, I'm in between those two numbers, but closer to the hobby number.
- I can do lots of weird computer bullshit, and I can contract out to people I already work with and trust for the small number of things I can't do myself.
- Initial discussions are free, and I'll quote the whole project up front.
- I'd rather do weird BS for individuals than corporate stuff for corporations.

looking at the night sky is one of my fav things, so i was so pleased i got to see the northern lights tonight! i live in the city, but the little park next to my flat has a pretty dark corner where juno and i stargaze often, so we managed to see them there 😌
ADHD is great for being dropped into a crisis situation, consuming all the documentation, talking to everyone, and then synthesizing the gestalt back in a format useful to exec leadership and their board, I think?
Or it's just the adhd is comorbid with me being me?
Want to take a vacation from open source maintenance? You should.
Did you know that GitHub has a profile status feature to mark yourself as busy, mute notifications, and prompt folks who mention you that you're busy for a while?
Before today the longest (optional) "automatically clear this status" preset was a week.
Now the longest preset is a month. Because let's face it, a week is not always a long enough break from the demands of other people.

I do wish I could tell recruiters that I’ll never apply to a company that reports record profits and also lays people off.
Like why are we wasting each others time talking about corporate mottos and exciting projects? Your leadership treats people like disposable cups. That’s all I need to know.

Jack Dorsey is furious that #Bluesky has attracted "very very common" people. He also doesn't like the idea of moderation tools facilitating the banning of racists.
All these tech billionaires are like a version of the movie Big, in which a pre-adolescent boy wakes up in the body of an aging Howard Hughes. Or Colonel Kurtz. Or a sardine.
