T.O.S.S. = “technically open source software”. It’s when someone _tosses_ some code onto GitHub but takes zero community feedback.

Yeah that is literally the definition of Open Source Software, the developers don't have to listen to you at all lmao. Don't like it? You are free to fork it, as it is Open Source Software and not Listen To The Community Software.

It’s not their responsibility to “take community feedback”. You are free to fork it however you want. That is the whole point.

Being non-binary for me is not about moving away from femininity but rather embracing my masculinity & everything in between. Through this I've realised a lot of trans and enby people are better described as "more than" binary (And can bring expansive versions of joy & beauty!)

Getting old is a game where every single day someone swaps out one tiny thing in your life to see if you notice, but it goes on so long that one day you don’t recognize anything.

because everybody, especially everybody at a place like an NGO, would already have a github account that's years old with a bunch of activity, right? have you really never signed up for a new account somewhere to report a serious issue or do something similar?

A weird issue with programmer culture is that they often literally do not think about non-abstract consequences, so I’d like to offer up the following extremely simple guideline: “If somewhere, somehow, hospital infrastructure is dependent on this code, could it kill someone?”

Every time JK Terfling opens her mouth, we have to go through this again, so: You cannot support work that the author still profits from without supporting the author. Saying you don’t support her doesn’t stop your money from going into her pocket when you consume her work.

Running npm scripts on install should require opt-in from both 'npm install' and from indicating that you expect an upstream dependency to run scripts in the first place, e.g. "dependencies": { "foo": "1.2.3:with_scripts" }

If it’s important, I’ll accept the meeting but it at least forces people to *ask* before dropping a meeting smack dab in the middle of my focus time. I’ve also found that people usually have other time blocks to choose from, they just prefer my focus time.
