It's always amazing to me how wiped out I am after a week on call, even if I didn't get paged at all. Four hours left. NOBODY BREAK ANYTHING.

@eevee@queer.party on the contrary i propose we start calling gamers who perform poorly in game "badly optimized"

Didn't realize just how exhausted I was until today when I went out for lunch with a friend in order to "come up for air" for a bit, then when I got home decided I really needed to nap, and then promptly slept for three hours and it still isn't enough

Autistic me: Loves books but does not have the mental stamina to sit and read a book from start to finish for hours on end. So instead consumes short-form content online for hours and hours. Yeah because this makes sense... @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe #actuallyautistic

Anyone who says they get more traffic to their site from Mastodon than Twitter is... misguided at best. Mastodon appends "noreferrer" to every external link. Your browser literally doesn't tell the server where it clicked from. Now, some writers might be putting different tracking on their Twitter and Mastdon links. But, by design, Mastodon doesn't show up in servers referral logs. Whether that's a good thing or not is left as an exercise for the reader.

TIL https://sadservers.com tl;dr they give you a broken server and have you figure out how to fix it like a CTF, but for devops instead of security!

Seriously, Write Your API Spec First https://www.readysetcloud.io/blog/allen.helton/seriously-write-your-spec-first/ "Imagine you’re building a house. Would you rather the crew draft a blueprint ahead of time and build to that spec? Or would you rather them go off and build your house then create a blueprint of what they built when they were done?" -- #AllenHelton #ReadySetCloud #api360 #apiDesign #apiFirst

I don’t know the answer to many of the world’s great problems. But have they tried diverting all power to the forward array? That worked for us often.

If you attended the panel at #LFMemberSummit about open source software viability and project selection (or even if you didn't), you might want to listen to the CHAOSScast episode on this topic from last week. https://podcast.chaoss.community/72

When people invite you to dinner/movie.. the chances are the activity is just an excuse to meet up and the real objective is to socialise. I find this endearing, for years I didn’t know this. I used to automatically assume that the suggested activity was the *main* purpose of a meet-up. I thought an invitation to dinner meant that the predominant point of focus was the FOOD, or an invitation to watch a movie meant the MOVIE was the centrepiece of the night. @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe #actuallyautistic

Too spoon depleted to be diplomatic and return to the comments on one of my LinkedIn posts about #HealthAndSafety. Will have to wait. But two things strike me: 1) Requiring masks is doable at any scale of event. It's the most effective (cost & impact) way of mitigating spread of airborne disease. And if you have a Code of Conduct, you already have the tools for enforcement. 2) Stop putting the burden of inclusion on marginalized people 😠 #DEI #OpenSource #FOSS #Events #PHPledge

Just a few things I struggle with: - Having to put on a vivacious, inauthentic display of happiness at a moment’s notice. - Having to adjust to a new item coming into my possession. - Finding somewhere to put it. - Potentially having to change my plans/do something out of character to use the item. @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe #actuallyautistic

The one thing about writing for me, at least online, is that with my newsletter, I have no idea what people like unless they reply (and y'all do!). That lack of knowledge reduces my pressure to "make more like that" and allows me to just flow. With my website, that's also something I'll be able to discern since I have privacy respecting analytics. I'm tempted to remove that as well and use semantic engagement (likes, boosts) as such a metric. Or or or, I could just keep doing what I want.

I really hate that engineers have made "marketing" such a dirty word because honestly this last year I realized I'm actually a damn good "marketer" and somehow by saying that I fear I lose all my technical credibility. Engineering can build all the cool things they want, but if you can't market it, you are mostly shit out of luck.

Doing some blog cleanup and pondering how most SSGs are built around an assumption that you'll get bored of your blog around 20-30 posts. Or maybe not so much the SSGs as the common blog templates. We're not even talking build speed here. More like information architecture changes needed when you go from "I should start a blog" to a multi-decade waltz of shamelessness with hundreds or thousands of posts. "Page 4 of 78" doesn't quite do it.

I feel a little guilty archiving an open source project I created almost a decade ago. But the truth is I haven't used it myself in a long time, and it's just being honest with users asking for support. #OpenSource #OSS #OpenSourceMaintainer
