The government decided to let robocall scammers completely overwhelm our telephone system to the point where it’s basically unusable and no elected official seems to care.

the whole leak about how google shoved AMP on people's faces and fudged load times to justify it makes me wonder what other frameworks and "best practices" are shilled by other big tech co's for their own nefarious purposes 🤔

Not necessarily tech companies but - SAFe #agile - Scrum (especially as time went on) - SOA - GitOps - Jira Also there are a lot of good ideas sold for inappropriate use cases like making everything #microservices

This is an excellent point I never thought about. Why in the world don't we use SSH keys more?

Post details

OMG YES YES YES If you are into signing git commits, here's your answer! Also, I'm happy any time I see SSH signatures in use. Every developer has SSH keys! We have robust tooling and hardware for them! They are simple! You can use ssh-keygen(1) to produce and verify them.

I've transitioned from "read docs to learn how to do the thing" to "just give me a repo that does all the things" as my preferred way from picking up a new tool/API. unfortunately, the % of my time that I'm frustrated because the way I want to learn is missing hasn't changed.

GitHub isn't Open Source, and it's acquisition by Microsoft was not proof of their commitment to Open Source as a movement. There are other things that indicate a meaningful change in respect of the movement. ASOP is an "Open Source Project" in name and software license only.

I know holding out through terrible work conditions to officially reach your bonus can be enticing, but remember to account for what you're losing while you wait. Once you've accounted for that, compare that to your estimated bonus to see if it's truly worth it.

Learn to state your own boundaries on Twitter and accept others'. Boundaries are cool. Mine? Don't joke about my body (even compliments!) if I didn't mention it in the Tweet first/it's not a selfie, and avoid joking about Robert/my relationship if the Tweet is totally unrelated.

As much as I also want more non-closeted nonbinary and queer rep attention, I truly do balk at the idea that folks have to consistently out themselves for others' comfort. Just a reminder, you never have to express your queerness around the clock, even if you're already out.

Hey tech friends, question for y’all as I’m genuinely curious to understand this ongoing trend in social media bios: ❓Why do you list current and former employers in your bio? ❓What do you want your professional affiliations to signal to folks?

Stephanie Morillo (@radiomorillo)Fri, 22 Oct 2021 16:10 +0000

Cutthroat competitive economic pressure produces a harmful psychology where personal identity and achievement can be confused with employment. Most transgender folks realised this when we broke free of gender norms. I put my job in my bio to fit in. I don’t want it there.
