overstimulation is just DDoS for autistic people

hell yeah i HTML Have Too Many Lanxieties

I sometimes forget about my autism and how sensory overload affects me. Then I'm surprised when I casually turn on my earbuds noise cancellation and a sudden peace and calm invades me wholly. "What the fuck is this sudden relaxation? Oh, right, I was overstimulated, that makes sense". IF ONLY I REALIZED HOURS BEFORE. #ASD #ActuallyAutistic

Insufficient governance and accountability is the sleeping giant of risk in open source. This relates closely to the insufficient resourcing of the people doing the work and the charitable organizations that back them, but that's one that we've already spilled a lot of ink on as an industry.

Another day, another reminder of the importance of governance in FOSS projects. No need to over architect it, but regularly assessing your project and implementing just-enough-governance will save you so, so much pain.

Hot take: packaging open source software is actual work (and is sometimes what we demurely call 'non-trivial' in this field). I say this as a sysadmin who has sometimes had to deal with the results of not packaging software and then not keeping up with the state of the software we didn't package but installed anyway. (Sure, sometimes you get lucky and the packaging instructions are easy to write (Debian rules, RPM specfiles, whatever Arch uses, etc). And sometimes they aren't.)

My lab (http://devsuccesslab.com/ ) has a new pilot survey open about developers' work experiences & how they see AI tooling in dev work. This is a different kind of dev survey. We're not interested in tallying who's using what brands for some trends report. We're interested in how developers are DOING. This is also a pilot test of new measures, so the more folks take it, the more we learn how to design deep research on this! Please share widely. #softwaredevelopment http://bit.ly/3OLmIul

I don’t know what stage of enlightenment this is, but I no longer am bothered by seeing inaccurate descriptions of things in the tech world that I have definitive knowledge about. I don’t even bother to correct. I am the tree that bends in the wind. All things in time. This too shall pass.

I used to love messing around in time machines when I was older…

How and why we started annotating all our Go tests with <code>t.Parallel()</code>, and why you might want to consider doing so too.

@cadey@pony.social why would i trust a post about rust with no furry avatars in it. turbofish was named by an avian slimegirl

@cadey@pony.social imagine being in a "fullstack webdev team that works with Rust" and not having at least one furry in it

@cadey@pony.social "extremely negative things associated with them" Lmao tell me you hate queer folks without telling me you hate queer folks

@cadey@pony.social I'm curious but also afraid to find out what kind of dev team this person has that doesn't believe "furry avatar" is a hallmark of extremely competent computer touchers
