They should invent a job that doesn’t burn you out

I hope the nuance that we all intended came across in this episode. It’s really tough to be critical of the things you love, but if you don’t speak up at some point, I think things just wind up getting worse and worse. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

i cant believe ChatGPT lost its job to AI

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

After further reflection, I also think big companies sponsoring open source projects should provide therapists for maintainers. I'm only half kidding [contains quote post or other embedded content]

DHH is a gigabrain fascist and everyone with any sense is long since tired of his shit. I hope the Rails community can wrestle it away from being that muppets fiefdom. https://ruby.social/@getajobmike/113868764027652350

Trans rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️

This is the only flag I’m flying today. For Janey. #Trumpisacunt Let’s make it trend.

My thoughts are with my American friends for today, and the next four years. Stay strong. 💪 💜

Attached: 1 image Was reminded of this image again today: "I don't wear 🏳️‍🌈 [queer pride] items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear them so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear because you make them hide." Ever since seeing this, I have been wearing progressive pride buttons on each of my jackets and coats (and a cap). #queer #lgbtqia

normalize wearing n95 masks not just to avoid illness but also because it is fucking freezing outside

Teams who give monkeys power tools and let them in the engine room, how do you prevent them from breaking your engine?

Best work advice I got: Keep good notes You won't remember what they said in that meeting You won't remember when they made that decision You won't remember what you did or when or why Write it out explicitly and make life a little easier on future-you

BATCH BUNCH #0001 is complete. Thank you, everyone, for attending. Truly: a superb bunch 🫵 See you next time? 🖱️⌨️🌐😌☕️

I want to see that masculine energy doing the dishes. Meeting with the kids’ teachers. Washing and folding the laundry without being reminded five times. Caring for the sick. Speaking up for women’s rights. De-escalating conflicts. Defending against toxic and violent speech. Promoting equality. Building a better world for people who are suffering. Learning from young and old, all genders and ethnicities. Being kind. That’s the masculine energy I want to see.

The rollback of major DEI programs in FAANG companies should be a reminder that your company is not your friend and you need a union to protect your rights.

//launch event happening in 2h 48m// TODAY IS THE DAY for BATCH BUNCH #0001. Will we see you there? 👀 🗺️ details: lu.ma/8e8qsgsn

"Legacy code" is often code that you want to replace because you don't understand it. The problem is, before you can replace it, you need to understand it, and, once you understand it, replacing it is rarely the cheapest option any more. #SoftwareEngineering

Attached: 1 image Thinking of Aaron Swartz today & I’m stuck on this photo - he & OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (both circled) each scraped 1000s of docs but one did it to make the knowledge free for all while the other did it to make $$$$ through probabilistic plagiarism. The US DOJ only came after one of them & the other is feted by tech bros and executives. Thank you Aaron for so much, for RSS, for Markdown, for Creative Commons and more. I’m sorry our society failed you.

I really need people to understand that LGBTQIA people, our servers, and the things we discuss does NOT automatically mean NSFW. Often the most blatant NSFW I've ever seen are from cishet folks. This isn't to say some LGBTQIA folks can't be NSFW (they can), but it's the labeling ALL of us as such that's hurtful, problematic, and plays right into the conservative right's playbook of labeling us as sexual deviants to be erased from society. Don't do that.

I’d like to send a special “fuck you buddy” to all the boomers that told me “oh you’ll get more conservative as you get older, once you get some money” I don’t know what world those people live in, but every day since probably 1989 everything I have seen in the world has only convinced me more and more that capitalism is a disease that is destroying lives and the planet.
