Nothing but love for @www.jvt.me for helping with this! I saw Jamie speak at DevOpsDays maybe 4 years ago and knew he was an all-star I wanted to know one day. I'm thankful that DevOpsDays this year I finally made that happen and it already proven I should have prioritised it sooner! 🤩

It maybe sounds obvious, but if there's one thing I learned from years building open source social platforms, it's this: very few people care about the ideology of your product. The only thing that matters to them is whether it fits their need - there's no way of shirking the responsibility to build the best possible solution. Ideology might (and should) matter to *you*. But it's not a replacement for being usable.

Attached: 3 images We had a lot of struggles with our dog early on, I can see why so many re-home puppies between 6 & 9 mo But we found a better dog trainer & she changed our lives (she’s also a people trainer / therapist with how good she’s been to us) Now Bramley has grown into such a wonderful dog, I’m really seeing just how good life can be with a fluffy companion like him This is the first holiday I’ve been on since we got him where my immediate thought isn’t “wooo no dog!” I miss him & his gorgeous face

New career goal: be someone's anchor. Well, maybe not a big anchor, maybe a buoy or a small lighthouse? But yeah, be there for someone to rely on when there's pressure.

Attached: 1 image #Monktoberfest may not mandate masking, but they've been thoughtful about ventilation and vaccines ... and then there's this! I feel good about one way masking as a high risk person given all the other work they've put in. Of note, when GitHub Universe did the rug pull on COVID precautions last year, it was Monktoberfest's written promise to not relax protections after they're announced that inspired a key part of the @phpledge@floss.social. #PublicHealthPledge #HealthAndSafety #COVID #OpenSource #DevRel

The list of sites I follow in Feedly has long ago shifted from personal blogs to larger, specialized news websites. The personal blogs have disappeared for the same reason this one did. Why would anyone want to share personal information this way, when social media is easier to use, more specific, more widely-used, and has a … Continued

Years ago, @paulcuth introduced me to a life-changing conference. Not only did I find my current job through chatting with people there, but the talks I saw and the people I met throughout the years were the inspiration and acceptance I desperately needed to find. Because of that, I'm over the moon to speak at @ffconf@social.ffconf.org and I hope I can contribute to people feeling as happy at the end of the day as I felt all these previous years as an attendee. See you there? 💖 https://2023.ffconf.org/

@artcollisions@vis.social The naming was a silly thing. The book was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and then the Gene Wilder movie was financed by the Quaker Oats company who insisted on the name changing as part of cross-promotion of their Wonka brand of candy. And then apparently that didn't even work out because Wonka Bars ended up all melting on store shelves, oops.
