Getting ready for KubeCon. It's going to be a mixed experience, not gonna lie. Our home is still filled with what would've been our lives, so I'm grateful for the travel distraction 💔 I'll have a few copies of her book for anyone who happens to find me at the conference : Where's Waldo : https://hackingcapitalism.io For the unfamiliar: the book is about modeling capitalism as a navigable system. The goal is to reach traditionally underrepresented folks who weren't Just Told How It Works.

Most senior roles, technology or otherwise, should be able to strike a good balance between solving existing problems and creating new problems. In aggregate, they should solve more problems than they create, and this is how we make progress; fulfilling general goals but also agitating for improvements.

Since I always vent about other language ecosystems when they suck, I want to also share a counterexample. Today I spent the day doing tooling integration and testing and compatibility work on https://github.com/FiloSottile/age.ts and things mostly just worked, including Node/Bun/esbuild, and ES Modules, and Typescript, and Puppeteer, and GitHub Actions. https://github.com/FiloSottile/age.ts/pull/14

Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics: A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports. Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply *more likely to file bugs*. Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA https://techhub.social/@ozone89/111337250473454154

They’ve committed to support ActivityPub so if they’re serious about the open web then Micropub should also be considered. by Barry Frost
