A lot of great things rely on volunteers giving up their free time to do their best to provide something valuable for others without payment. Remember when giving feedback on the events, communities, products they are providing to do it with respect and kindness.

In general, whether people are paid for their efforts or not, give feedback and criticism with respect and kindness. We are all humans just trying to do our best. Offering help as well as feedback may also be welcomed in certain cases.

FYI, I help run a meetup and have spoken (virtually) at meetups around the world. IME 90% of meetup organizers are thrilled to have someone reach out. They're volunteers, so it can take some time to connect, but they want your talk! I wrote more here: letterstoanewdeveloper.com/2021/12/06/spe…

Is that supposed to be an insult? If so, how is it insulting?

I think it was 2018 where I used to laugh when someone would say that I’d be “at 10k” soon on Twitter. But now I’m here, I feel like it’s actually achievable? 😅

Honestly though - imagine being the kind of person who sets up a Twitter account to stand up for statues.

It is indescribably a total mindfuck, let me tell you. (Honestly I just have to productively dissociate from reality a fair amount of the time so as not to remember all the things I wish I was capable of doing right now, that I may or may not be able to do in the future.)

Decentralization is like Serverless. Hyped terms that lack a distinct definition and which can be used to arbitrarily praise or dismiss projects. See also: "simple", "efficient", "good", "quick" You should have a distinct definition of your term within your context or skip it.

Decentralization is like Serverless. Both are built on top of the things they claim to negate, which also sets the foundation of their problem statements.

I don't understand why you could not say this when you worked there? I said most of those things close to every day

Great list, I agree with them all. But did you feel you couldn't share this sort of thing while you were still managing? None of this seems secret or sensitive to me.

We could have ended COVID before it became a pandemic by just taking some simple measures - masks, tests, contact tracing doing and some local lockdowns back in early 2020. We could have ended it before Omicron by lifting patents and distributing vaccines throughout the world

It helps if you think of the "Block" button as the "Go Fuck Yourself" button. Maybe try to imagine Jeff Goldblum singing the "It's maaaahhh birthhhhhday" song every time you press it. youtube.com/watch?v=tEt2w4…

A company isn't a family. Parents don't fire their kids for low performance or furlough them in hard times. A better vision for a workplace is a community—a place where people bond around shared values, feel valued as human beings, and have a voice in decisions that affect them.

fuck artificial scarcity. the ultimate goal of human civilization is eliminating scarcity; the creation of artificial scarcity is actively working to destroy civilization.
