It’s really wild to compare where we are now to what things were like when I entered the industry. Linux was the big open source project and a lot of us put people like Linus and RMS up on pedestals.

I’m pretty happy the “brilliant jerk” stereotype is dying in tech… you don’t need to be an asshole to get ahead.

People are still sheepish about saying they see a therapist. It's slowly changing, but every time somebody says it in a way that sounds like they are embarrassed I get sad. Therapy is great and you should do it.

As someone who had been going to Reddit for years before engaging with Twitter, I (respectfully) never know what you guys are talking about. In my experience Twitter is a hell of a lot more toxic than anything I've ever seen on Reddit

I know this isn't a new thought, but it's crazy how Reddit as a larger community is one of the worst places on the internet, but niche subreddits for nerd shit like mycology or ultralight backpacking are some of the most helpful and nicest places online.

incidentally, this is the thing I loved most about the culture of my prior engineering team. No one, regardless of seniority, protected their ego and standing by not asking questions.

Why is asking for help so hard? because people get punished for it. You can't fix that by telling them it's safe, you have to show them it's safe, repeatedly, every time.

The worst crime the open source community ever committed was making two tools, one called 'useradd' and the other called 'adduser' and making them do almost the same thing.

It’s still employee musical chairs in tech and this is your periodic reminder to never ever accept the argument “well stock is part of your pay. Use that to meet what needs the salary can’t cover”. That’s the company screwing you.

I’d be like 50% more open to the idea of NFTs if all the popular ones weren’t ugly. It’s basically the digital equivalent of the tasteless billionaire home decor.

It has been one year since I accepted therapy and antidepressants. I should have done it much earlier, it would have improved my quality of life and allowed to start fixing root causes earlier. If you see signs of run out and depression, go to the specialist immediately 🙏

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…

The Times (@thetimes)Wed, 02 Feb 2022 16:53 GMT

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.
