Past-self just saved me 2+ hours by documenting how to do the thing that took ~3 hours to figure out and fix last time. Good job past-self. Also, good job current-self for remembering that past-self should have documented this and then going to find the doc.

I finally bought @beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com's new book, You Deserve A Tech Union, because we do deserve one. And very amusingly, my learning & development budget covered it. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 https://abookapart.com/products/you-deserve-a-tech-union

Gonna give a talk ("Open Source: Boundaries, Burnout and Business”) and chat with folks about open source software at the first OpenUK Scottish meet up in Edinburgh on 22nd November 2023 from 6-9PM.

Would be lovely to see some of you there!

thinking today about back when I was in code school in SF one of the cofounders was OBSESSED with my two-character twitter handle, and even though I went by my birth name at the time, he would call me kf so I called him by his handle, too a year later, one of the staff told me that every time I did this, he would go upstairs in the office, slam doors, and tell the staff that I was insulting him for having a four-character handle 😂 anyway that’s how I got my name 🤣 #fragilemasculinity

An update that absolutely no one could've seen coming**: One of the companies using AI instead of qualified copywriters to draft their career guide blog posts is now realizing that these texts are highly generic, repetitive, and of little value for readers. They will have to be redone, and a lot of time and resources were wasted. Awww. 😏 (** Just kidding. This was, of course, utterly predictable.) #AI #Fail

Hot take: a virtual hackathon is “just” an online open source community tuned for onboarding and “my first app” programs. The real unlock is long term maintenance and useful apps that get devs paid.

@sil@mastodon.social Not sure if you saw this; https://clig.dev/ - seems in line with what I think I've seen you previously wrote (and if it isn't, I'd love to hear your views on why not 😃)

some naive networking greybeard once wrote that a good URL never changes, or something but URLs do change because everything changes, and the expectations around their longevity and change are one place where people exert power and have power used over them. if people rely on a URL they're actually relying on a stream of labor. There is no "static" content, all data storage requires some portion of ongoing renewal: new materials and ongoing human care.

I have a new way that people can support my work, if they’d rather not use Ko-fi, it's direct via Stripe: https://support.thisismissem.social/ This means less fees, better invoices & receipts, and an overall simpler admin experience for myself. You can also manage your subscriptions and payments with ease too!

I’ve been accused by millennial friends of using “gen x full stops”. “is charlie mad at me??”

I’m trying really hard to let things go because I cannot take on the entire world but if I tell you somebody is non-binary your first question should not be “AMAB or AFAB”? That is very hostile. Thank you!

I dunno gang, maybe this whole "internet" thing was a mistake #ffconf

#ffconf in general is a good vibes conference, but there is always a talk or two that makes me go "oh god we're all doomed"

1 bar of 3G is not enough for me to enthuse about excellent talks at #FFConf 😭

Notes on burnout, from the depths of burnout.

One of the more fun projects I’ve worked on at Tailscale is golink, which provide simple, private shortcuts that you can share with others on your tailnet. We have hundreds of go links at Tailscale …

A secure web app that allows you to create, edit, share and save text files to your device or to Google Drive as an editable Doc

An anonymous internet is highly valuable; a pseudonymous internet is highly valuable; a named internet is highly valuable. Attempting to regulate these 3 Internets as if they are the same is ultimately futile.

https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-steam-deck-oled-announcement/ reports Valve making a OLED Steam Deck. I'm pretty happy with mine, the lowest model of the second batch. Frankly, it's not "just" a console to me, it's a whole separate computer that I have to maintain (but in a kinda fun way and with a journaled file system so rolling back is easy). For more causal folk, this might be the model they've been waiting for. A brighter screen, more power and it's lighter? (https://jacky.wtf/2023/11/mOe5)

In today's #NaBloPoMo article I wrote about my experience of the misjudged emails I received from AirBnB earlier this year, and the impact that had. This experience reaffirmed for me that Sara Wachter-Boettcher and @Meyerweb@mastodon.social's book Design for Real Life is as needed now as it was in 2016. #ContentDesign #UXWriting https://amyhupe.co.uk/articles/its-almost-time-for-your-trip/

Someone here called me “profoundly relatable” and I think that kinda sums up my brand very succinctly? 😂😂😂

Redocly CLI is a brilliant new tool from the folks who made ReDoc, the first beautiful API reference documentation tool powered by OpenAPI. This CLI tool goes a lot further than documentation, and helps with “linting” (automated API Style Guides), and solves the biggest problem that I had previously been

I co-found Protect Earth in 2020 and none of us knew how big it would become. We plant tens of thousands of trees all over the country every year, and for me that work is entirely unpaid. Being brutally honest I could do with some help.
