I did a thing👀 https://thenewstack.io/mvp-or-tvp-why-your-internal-developer-platform-needs-both/ This is off the back of amazing work by @matthewskelton@mastodon.social / @manuelpais@mastodon.social with @TeamTopologies@mastodon.social and Gregor Hohpe. My hope is to get more eyes on the concepts of Thinnest Viable (in addition to Minimum Viable) Platforms and Floating Platforms. Let me know what you think!

Deactivated my Microsoft account. That'll be over a decade of games, achievements, history, email and the like all gone once it's done. That was not an easy choice to make. And now I'll be alienating myself from anyone who plays on there. I still have my 360 (and a bunch of games to play on) so I'll keep that but I'll probably look to homebrew it so I can pull my stats into a SQLite database somewhere. I'm at the point now where I care a lot less if I "miss out". It'll be on Steam (because PC gaming - though still a cliff, once climbed - brings it to everyone) or GOG or what have you. I'm putting my faith into PC gaming, too. It's what got me into gaming (on library computers) and it's what keeps me interested. Never had a PlayStation so never had to worry about that.

I just tooted, in regard to the long ago removal of RSS feeds from Twxtter, Fxcebook etc, that they “shit those down to enhance lock-in”. I meant “shut those down” not “shit those down” but now in my headcanon “to shit down” means to enshittify a product by removing a feature that is beloved to users but obstructs profit-maximization.

Just spent an hour debugging something because I had a “-“ instead of a “_”. Sometimes I can’t wait til AI takes over my job.

Why crafting a good presentation title is annoyingly important, and annoyingly hard I hate choosing titles for my talks. Titles have to be…

Switching back to Firefox as my daily driver has not been without incident. I still can't rely on it for video calls (audio goes weird, apparently a regression was introduced recently), and it's crashy in a lossy way. I haven't had to put this much effort into restoring my tabs in years 😅 The sharp edges are worth it given the tradeoffs (weighing up privacy and the value of browser engine diversity), but my goodness I hope this gets better.
