Quite literally the whole reason I have a job is because hosting, managing, updating, and securing the platforms we use to run our software is a tedious job that nearly everyone loathes, including sysadmins.

I’ve been a professional sysadmin for over a decade and I can say with great confidence that these people saying “running your own infrastructure is easy” are either idiots or liars.

Have any fellow language fans noticed an uptick in this kind of phrasing? IE "how ___ looks like" rather than "how ___ looks" or "what ___ looks like"? Just curious as to where it's come from.

It’s true that the Web 2.0 we wanted (API-centric, 3rd-party-client-friendly) is not the Web 2.0 we got (piles of teetering, centralized XMLHttpRequest). But if you don’t understand why that happened, then it’s absolutely going to happen again.

Often OSS developers make the world keep the lights on but aren't compensated for their time. Marak was struggling, asked help. Got nothing. In protest, removed his code and github suspended his account for removing something he owned the rights to.

People think decentralization is some magic that solves all problems, when in reality most people have opted into using centralized systems without even realizing it because they prefer convenience over autonomy.

This is one of the most important aspects of Web 2.0 that web3 advocates have tried to retcon. That generation also started with optimistic creators talking about decentralized, user-owned, open protocols (open standards, even!) that would empower people. Guess how it played out.

Getting more messages along the lines of "I like my company, they treat me well, but I got an offer with a 50-200% pay increase as a sr software engineer. I'd feel guilty leaving." You now know your market value. You can offer them to stay for XX% less than this value.

The % discount will vary on things like the mission, your career prospects etc. You could say “I’m fine taking a 30% cut from my market value: but not more.” It can be negotiation grounds for equity & others. No one benefits from you keeping your market value a secret.
