The answer to this appears to be a resounding "no". So I've abandoned Substack. Interoperability with the open web is essential.

@SubstackInc heya - how do I import my *new* blog posts into Substack? I don't want to have to copy and paste them in manually every day. My WordPress blog has an RSS feed and an API. Can I hook that up to your service? Thanks!

Another reason to prefer fully-managed cloud-native databases: the attack surface on them is so much smaller. This vulnerability is a great example of just much STUFF there is in something like postgres

Learn to question with kindness. When I review, I’m trying to understand why things are before what they are. Don’t question with hidden imperative statements. “I see you used a hashmap. What trade offs did you consider?” vs “Why did you use a hashmap instead of a linked list?”

1/ I think the reason there’s such a large gendered difference in the perception of Elon Musk is because of life experiences. I think for white men, he’s a power fantasy of a world where your wildest ideas have unlimited resources but for women he represents something else.

The other interesting thing about this Tweet is the difference between the image and the alt text. It is probably because the message is over the 1,000 char limit for alt. But goes to show how brevity makes a message clearer.

This is a symptom, not the disease. The problem is that certain market values are depressed, and if you look at the data, you'll see it's areas that are not predominately made up of white, mid-to-high class incomes. Paying based on the cost of living is about equity, actually.

Many tech companies, including GitHub, use their geographically distributed workforce as a way to steal wages from workers. They call it "location-based pay grades" and other such nonsense. But it's wrong. So we've written something you can share:

I totally agree with Emma Watson—trans women should be welcome in female spaces. The only people I’m not comfortable sharing a public restroom with are the people who want to check everyone’s genitals to categorize them before they come in. Everyone else is cool with me.

Emma Watson rightfully says that the moral panic over trans people in bathrooms is nonsense and TERFs (trans exclusionary radical fascists) are losing their goddamn mind

Hey, students and professors: Making fake commits against real OSS projects is not a valid class assignment. It wastes people's time, irritates them, and gives the student a bad reputation on Github and OSS. Don't do it.
