This morning's thought: open source developers write software even if nobody is paying them for the same reason that singers sing to themselves even when nobody is listening. It is their nature.

Hey, on the upside, this happened today. Open source Is hard work, but you *can* make a business out of it. <3

We know that, historically at least, marriages where women outearned men were less stable. Is a successful woman’s strategic deployment of a “fake orgasm” exactly what it takes to “plug the gap” in the male ego? @HelenRumbelow reports 👀 thetimes.co.uk/article/why-ge…

We need to stop thinking about open source sustainability as “raise enough money to work full-time.” Not every maintainer wants that. Sustainability might be better achieved by four people working ten hours a week instead of one person working 40 hours a week.

Am I the only one who thought they'd just naturally get better at adulting as they got older? That has not happened and it's very disappointing

Saron (@saronyitbarek)Thu, 03 Feb 2022 09:41 GMT

Yeah, as an engineer the last thing I want is my manager "protecting me" from how decisions get made. Nor do I want them thinking it's their job to decide what I get looped in to, or what information I'm allowed to have.

I think this is also why I am suspicious when managers tell me their primary role is to protect the team from organisation politics.

Whoa. webvm.io runs a full Debian VM entirely in your browser via WebAssembly... and it ships with working Perl, Python, Ruby and Node.js!

We have made a server-less virtual Linux environment that runs unmodified Debian binaries in the browser. This is powered by CheerpX, a WebAssembly virtualization platform. Feel free to play with it and report bugs: leaningtech.com/webvm-server-l…

Part of this is my own fault. I pretty much only pursue roles I'm _really_ interested in. I'm pursuing one I'm not stoked about right now because "I should" and it just drains me. It's tough to be selective and then still get rejected, ghosted, or just forced to wait.
