Bookmarked So you've been reorg'd... - Jacob Kaplan-Moss
Post details
I’ve been through close to a dozen reorgs. This article contains the advice I wish I’d been given earlier in my career when I didn’t yet have that experience. Reorgs are disruptive, and nobody really tells you what to do in the wake of one. It’s easy to feel adrift, scared for your future, and uncertain about how to behave. Some of that fear is warranted: your job security probably goes down in the months following a reorg. But confusion and chaos aren’t necessarily signs that the reorg will go poorly, and there are things you can do to help give you and your team a better chance of emerging successfully.

No #WeekNotes tonight as I'm celebrating my 30th birthday in Rome 🎂🥂🍝🍷

If you wanted to do something nice to honour it, you could support my work on the Open Source projects I maintain as well as the content on my blog. But I'd also love to see y'all pay it forward to other creators or maintainers for the stuff you use, and work with your companies to pay to support the Open Source you so heavily rely on!

I'll be posting my Week Notes some time next week, when I get to relive the lovely ~10 days we've been having 🥰

If the Twitter/X thing teaches you one thing, let it be this: Twitter was a neoliberal place. Then Elon Musk made it into X, a fascist place. Once again, neoliberalism laid the foundations of fascism. But that’s not the (whole) lesson… Neoliberal folks are still using X, calling it Twitter to make themselves feel better, and pining for the good old days. And there’s the real lesson: When neoliberalism turns into fascism, neoliberals will adapt to life under fascism. Right, class dismissed.

Y’all realize everyone in Helpdesk at your job can just import your browser cookies into their machine remotely and browse your Facebook at their leisure, right? Like, you understand what Administrator means? It means unquestioned god from anywhere. It’s not your machine IT’S THEIRS. All you do, all your access, it’s stored to be stolen. Anything hackers can do to ruin your life, IT can do better.

They’re children. And their government is keeping them from doctors who practice a type of medicine that cures suicidal ideation at near miracle rates. If those kids do find relief, it'll be via their parents paying exorbitant out of pocket costs or by covertly ordering those drugs online with cryptocurrencies from sketchy overseas labs. Please don't play the Harry Potter video games and it defend it by saying they brought *you* childhood joy. https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/03/12/trans-puberty-blockers-nhs-england-prescribe-gender-affirming-healthcare/
