A case study in why thoughtful content matters

I co-found Protect Earth in 2020 and none of us knew how big it would become. We plant tens of thousands of trees all over the country every year, and for me that work is entirely unpaid. Being brutally honest I could do with some help.
Hello #IndieWeb enthusiasts. I’m holding an unofficial Homebrew Website Club at the Lord Nelson Inn near Brighton station tomorrow evening. I’ll be there around 17:30, wrapping up around 20:00. #ffconf folk most welcome! I’ll post more information when I’ve found a spot, but if you look for a balding dude with a beard and a dubious waxed moustache the odds are good that you’ll find me.
Me: Oh, my editor can't have a look at stuff yet. I guess I get a Writer Snow Day. 🧠: Your side of the work in git. You could branch and… Me: Can't hear you. Dum de dum de dum. Writer Snow Day. Tra la la. Doot de doo.
@ScribblingOn@octodon.social As I like to quote from Emma Goldman “No one is lazy. They grow hopeless from the misery of their present existence, and give up." I can't run if my legs are past the point of even being able to walk #FuckCapitalism

Thanks! I think I'd looked at that before, I think I'm trying to avoid hardcoding too much as the advisory_type
can be one of several things, but I'll give it a go, it's deffo better than what I'm doing right now 🤞🏽
Anyone know a good place to ask #sqlite or #sql questions?
I'm trying to convert rows (produced by a big query that then uses a GROUP BY advisory_type
) that produces data like:
-- the `advisory_type` can be one of multiple values, i.e. SECURITY, DEPRECATED, UNSUPPORTED
repo advisory_type total_advisories
------ ------------- ----------------
jvt.me SECURITY 10
jvt.me DEPRECATED 5
And I'm trying to convert this to:
repo total_security total_deprecated total_unmaintained
------ ------------- ---------------- ----------------
jvt.me 10 5 0
Any clue how I'd go about doing so? Happy to provide more details / some data for you to query too, but been playing around with it on and off and not really having any luck.

Everyone thinks, haha, these squirrels don't even remember where they hid 90% of the nuts they store for the winter they are so dumb, but nobody ever asks if the squirrels might be out there thinking, my ancestors planted this forest that provides for us all, and my children's children will know the same of me.
Interesting to hear @geerlingguy@mastodon.social describe Home Automation as something that should always be additive, because it’s so essential. I didn’t realise until there how much this matched with my views on the web, that important things should always be progressively enhanced.
How did Spotify scale from 10 engineers to 100s to 1000s ...without slowing down? Without becoming corporate? Facing an IPO deadline, Pia Nilsson worked with 300 teams to transform how Spotify built software. She spearheaded a movement that led them from working in silos to a unified developer platform. Hear the inside story of how Spotify's Platform teams embraced transparency... […]

I'm Amy Hupe and I care about making services accessible and inclusive, starting with the basics – the words we use to talk about them.

@moondog548@nerdculture.de Yeah, mind you, the only folks we prosecute are the ones who steal from the rich. Stealing from the poor is called “the business model.”
At the kind of mainstream developer conference where you overhear folks casually uttering phrases like “he didn’t really do anything too horrible” about Sam Bankman-Fried and I’m so glad to not in any way be part of this swamp. #SiliconValley

Gentoo’s process for removing packages from the main gentoo package repository is designed to make me aware of it and give me time to react, and I really appreciate that.
Sorry to hear about COVID, glad you're feeling a bit better now and hope it's gone soon 🤗

Any #IndieWeb folk heading to #ffconf next week? I’m wondering if anyone fancies a little informal Homebrew Website Club, or maybe just a coffee or a pint.

We’re joined this week by the beat freak in residence himself, the mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder. Listen along as we talk about how we make our beats, what inspires us for our music, and some behind the scenes on our latest albums.
But that's a medium-term problem. The long-term issue with "rockstar" developers is that they tend to create a situation where the business says "Oh, we can just give that to Joe to do, because Alan will take too long and do a bad job." So Joe does the work. And Alan never learns. "Rockstar" developers can lull organisations into thinking they don't need to invest in building capability at the *team* level.
