I used to be the type of person who, if time freed up, would replace it with more “productivity” lmao. But then I experienced burnout and learned about energy management. Now I’m about energy management > time management. Focus on the right things rather than the most things.

After 7.5 years of being an engineering manager, (and performing at the next level for arguably half of that time), I finally have a Senior Engineering Manager title. heck yeah, tiny party for meee (I can't eat sweets right now, so a gif pastry will have to do)

So with the recent discovery that GitHub Actions create an OIDC identity per run, it's possible to configure Vault to allow auth w/ Actions identities and subsequently use that to get access to... anything. Some cleanup required but this is very promising! (c/o @grantorchard)

I joined an enterprise as a lead software tester & my first help the company task was to "solve" the proliferation of different test automation frameworks I found the problem fairly quickly; the career ladder *required* writing/running your own framework to get to senior & above

When level-appropriate work comprises a lot of your performance review, you get something very dangerous: roving bands of skilled, restless engineers competing for vanity projects and systems that should never, ever have been built, but which you now have to maintain. 😬

459 porcelain tiles, one for every day since lockdown began, treated with chemicals which turn blue in sunlight. Placed all over my flat, each one now has an irreversible record of the light and dark that touched it during this time.

Don't really care how Robert Webb does in the dancing show but just him taking part seems to have caused a lot of people to learn about his anti-trans views and comments. It's not just uncritically accepted anymore like it might have once been, and that means so much more.

I wrote about the lack of sex-related content at mainstream tech events and how sex is addressed in Codes of Conduct for @FutureofSex! I’ve met many of you through conferences so I’d be curious to hear your thoughts 👀 futureofsex.net/sex-tech/tech-…

Stop watching The Crown and go watch some History Channel documentaries, and those made by the local people. Start from the dark ages and work your way up through World Wars I and II and into the 60s. At no point in history has the British empire been romantic and inspiring.

This makes me so sad, because blogs and owning your own website are such critical, fundamental parts of the internet. You can put *anything you want* on your own website, when you run it yourself. And I feel a whole generation is used to thinking of the internet as borrowed.

This is an embarrassingly old person online question but - do people still blog? I miss longer-form writing. I like letterboxd but I don’t always want to write about movies. Where does it happen? Tumblr? Wordpress? I feel like this is a dead art

Fun fact: erectile dysfunction risk is approximately 6 times higher in men who have had COVID. If you’re using Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend’s roommate’s uncle’s supposedly swollen balls to avoid getting the vaccine, may the odds be ever in your favor.
