My team gets me. 🎮

Signed my first consulting/advising contract today that had a provision against using AI tools unless specifically approved. Concerns were around IP. Either the IP created isn't owned by company or that confidential info is sent to a service. It's interesting to see this play out.

Yeah like, I was setting my birth year to 1979 instead of 1989 back then so why wouldn't kids today figure that out too lol

Yeah when I was a kid my dad passed a law that I wasn't allowed to be online late at night, but Net Nanny couldn't see what you were doing inside an AOL browser so I used free trial discs. I'm sure this will work tho [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Trilling off together?

Omg yes, beat their asses. Hope that exec feels like a dipshit

Freeman & Forrest is a year old! It's been a wild, incredible journey and we've learned so much. I'm remembering an executive we pitched early on who called us a "small business for shitty little companies." Anyway, we've paid technical content creators $1.7M. I'm proud of that. fnf.dev/one-year https://www.freemanandforrest.com/blog/3dYzROwYeGpPJMctpLpJKV

I love how much context Andor & R1 have added to that era. The Rebellion came so close to toppling so many times, surviving by pure luck & the skin of their teeth, just long enough for the Empire to fuck up in a major way.

One of my favorite developments from the Andor finale is that, by the time the series ends, every major Imperial Security Bureau character we've met and followed is either disgraced or dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp_Cn3nxu3s

And again: all this happens in the span of a single month. I mean, even with the remainder of the Imperial war machine and the two Sith Lords at the wheel, it's kinda a miracle the Empire manages to hang on for another 4 years until Endor.

And would you say your experience going public with your concerns was the common case, or a significant outlier?

I think I have a lot of privilege to speak up and there are a lot of other people like me who should use their privilege to give voice to the people who can’t speak publicly.

I disagree with this point. I leveraged my privilege to help other people know they weren’t alone in what they were going through. I met more people from Amazon after publishing this article than in the 4 years I worked there. I still get DMs about it https://justingarrison.com/blog/2023-12-30-amazons-silent-sacking/ [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I've seen a lot of complaints about how MCP isn't ready for the enterprise. I agree, although maybe not for the reasons you think. But don't worry, this isn't just a rant! I believe we can fix it! The …

Hi!! What’s up!! I’ve been laid off from GitHub, so if I don’t respond to your emails, it’s FINALLY not my fault 😘 sorry in advance. The past 5 years were an honor and a joy, because wow, OSS maintainers are a kind bunch. Grateful I got to run one last Maintainer Summit before leaving 💓

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Cats wearing bras on their heads with the soundtrack of the “habemus papam” announcement is a TikTok trend. The internet will not be defeated.

I’m wearing overalls today, and my husband looked at me and said, “Have fun on your shift at the Mushroom Kingdom.” 😂 https://media.tenor.com/vsPZuwYB5JYAAAAC/first-of-all-how-dare-you-rupaul.gif?hh=280&ww=498

Ever wished that Renovate increased that Chart version number in your Helm chart if the appVersion changes? Or maybe you wanted to bump the version number even though a dependency changed, which is not a direct dependency? Well, it can now!

I think it's one of my better release titles, tbh

My friend @rileybruce.bsky.social took this picture of me playing in bubbles at the May Day Parade, in case you needed some joy on your timeline today

I’ve said this elsewhere, but using AI now is basically the equivalent of using an Ouija board. It’s a word-guessing machine that tells you what you want to hear. Enjoy it if you like, but don’t start thinking it’s REAL [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Today at 10am PT - we're streaming 'What Maintainers need to know about Open Source Licensing, SBOMs, and Security' for #maintainermonth Come listen to my expert colleague Jeff, who looks at a project's license first while the rest of us are still reading the bio ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hbkfKAl4hk

love the idea that men have less object permanence than a newborn baby and if they can't see their girl's titties and pussy at all times they forget to have sex with her [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Go 1.24 new "tool" directive.

Reading some of the more unctuous trolls on HN, I think they might have an opportunity for a sidehustle: I would gladly engage them to apply to @oxide.computer just so we can make sure that we successfully don't hire them, pentesting for asshole vulns in our hiring process.

🤣 Gopherbot, can Ron come on @fallthrough.fm and chat with us about all things Go, TinyGo, and whatever else Ron wants to chat about?

Go method receivers should just default to `self`. I should be able to do the following. func (Person) Name() string { return self.Name } If need to change the receiver name I can just use the existing syntax. func (p Person) Name() string { return p.Name } Don't @ me. You're wrong!

Reflecting on how our compensation model is going

"Copyleft obligations for thee, not for me." I don't want to teach others this strategy, because I care about the social movement more than helping companies bend it in service of their needs. From a community PoV, I think it was bad when MySQL started it, and it's bad now. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

So now both Redis and Elastic are open source again, under the AGPL. Yay! When we teach folks how to do this in the future, we need to start by explaining how copyleft can work for a business. In both these cases, they're using copyright assignment to ensure they don't have to abide by the AGPL.

feels like i'm lifting weights with my brain but in a bad way where remembering words and processing sentences i hear from people takes like 2-4x as long as normal feels like my brain is stuck in context switch hell and so i've got latency penalties across the board, this really sucks

That’s autistic burnout, friend. Please take care

@bcantrill.bsky.social just mentioned on the @oxide.computer podcast that K8s wanted to leave the CNCF 👀👀 I need to hear more about how that played out
