Congratulations to Microsoft employees on your new four day workweek. Oh, you can't take every Friday off? Why, that would imply that it's not "unlimited" so much as it is "a scam to not have to pay out unused PTO when you depart the company."

Post details

scoop: Microsoft employees are getting unlimited time off. Microsoft will no longer require US employees to formally record vacation later this month, and they're getting a payout for any unused days. Details here: theverge.com/2023/1/11/2355…

I’m just going to block anyone who is riding their employer’s line so hard that they will celebrate and defend policies that hurt them as employees. I simply cannot engage in a way that’s healthy for me with people like that.

for each desired change, make the change easy (warning: this may be hard), then make the easy change

KubeCon lifting its mask mandate is deeply irresponsible with the state of the pandemic. I'm really disappointed in this decision and I don't think I'm going to go in light of this

uh oh: events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudn… "Recommend but not require event participants to wear masks at in-person events", well cripes. I note that covid has **completely vanished** and the removal of masks hasn't **increased flu** at all. :-|

do people not read the science? do they just not know anyone with long COVID? many of us work with our brains. even if you accept the risk, do you have a backup plan for if long COVID doesn't allow you to work anymore? have you threat modeled this out? what are you going to do?

I realize it's career limiting, but so is long COVID and I don't understand why people just seem to be fine with this

MPs just voted on a motion to remove private schools' £1,700,000,000 tax break. That could pay for free school meals for *all* primary school pupils almost twice over. But Tory MPs voted it down, choosing to protect elite private schools, not improve opportunities for all kids.

There are valid criticisms of unlimited PTO, but I encourage everyone to take full advantage of it to the extent that you possibly can. If your workplace has a problem with that, they should change the policy.

If think your company sees you as “less committed” or otherwise penalizes you for taking advantage of unlimited PTO…it sucks, but they were probably going to find some other excuse not to promote you. And aren’t living up to their stated values.

the really smart thing about the hunger games is the continued emphasis that katniss is merely an accidental symbol of the rebellion… she was at the right place at the right time and did the right thing. she’s not some mastermind martyr…

Sometimes in the morning you can deal with things more productively, and sometimes in the light of day the thing you were stressing about doesn't look like a big deal at all. Get some sleep! It took me way too long to figure this out

i’ve been thinking about the “post” pandemic world and how everyone has been trying to get back to normal and it’s been so hard. and i realized it’s because generally, we haven’t acknowledged how traumatic the pandemic was/is and we haven’t taken the time to recover from that

GitHub Actions has supported using OIDC tokens for about 15 months now. It is a much better of providing AWS credentials to workflows than creating IAM users and storing long-lived access keys in GitHub Actions secrets.

An amazing lesson in how to handle getting invited to the morally compromised party.

Pre-commit hooks are a waste of time. Why? Because they enforce standards too early. Pre-commit hooks make us wait for a quality check on every commit.👎 The code shouldn't need to be "right" to save my changes. The code only needs to be right before merge. Solution? Use CI.
