Over a decade ago I wrote a thing about Gamergate that included a footnote along the lines of "You are free to disagree with me in comments, but if you attempt to argue that Gamergate is not a misogynistic hate movement I will replace your comment with 'Fart fart fart fart'". And I did. Encourage your enemies to spend hours writing 3000 word essays on why you're wrong and spend 5 seconds replacing it with "Fart fart fart fart". It's time they can't use against anyone else.

Right then, it’s December, which means no new music releases*. So what are your favourite singles and albums from the last year.
* “Christmas music” is not actually music.
Blogging is one of the best things you can do for your technical acumen, your personal profile, and your career.
It forces you to learn what you write about deeply, teaches others, and is visible proof of your skillset.
Yeah, it's uncomfortable sometimes and it takes time, but I highly recommend.

In every tech organization, there are some people that seem to know every system, everybody, and every problem. They're super helpful, and save coworkers months of wasted efforts, by short-circuiting dead end paths, sharing efficient workflows, knowing which services already exist, and generally having great technical judgement.
*None of those skills are quantifiable on performance reviews, other than peers saying thanks (if they're lucky).
*Many underrepresented engineers fill these roles.
I've said it before, but if Randall Monroe could somehow successfully induce a donation of say ten bucks for each time someone uses That One xkcd Comic in a FOSS talk or blog describing the open source sustainability problem, said problem would be solved.
The corporation behind #Redis is now starting to chase #OpenSource client libraries claiming trademark violations https://github.com/redis-rs/redis-rs/issues/1419 and are attempting to have the projects transferred to them.
