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.

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

So McDonald's is giving away free fries for the rest of the year... ... if you use their mobile app ... and agree to the updated terms and conditions ... which say: if you use this app you waive your right to trial in any class action lawsuits against McDonalds." We live in the lamest dystopia. The stuff that got edited out of Snow Crash.
Yes absolutely! I've found doing this has also really helped as a neurodiverse person as well as giving me a ridiculous back catalogue of posts - half of my blog is this sort of stuff 😁

If you finally found the solution to your coding problem in a deep comment or something after having dozens of tabs open, you should write about it in your own blog. Really. Describe the problem in your own words and the solution for it, even if the solution seems really obvious now. Doesn’t matter. Give credit and whatever, but use your own words because you will be surprised at how many people will land on it. Write the blog post you wish you had found.

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.

The last few weeks of doing dev work has made me realize that maybe I'm ready to be a software engineer again, although I'd prefer something in a leadership role rather than being the one cranking out code. So if anyone is interested in me, I have a long, proven track record of building software that you've probably used and solving interesting problems to make it possible, and bringing interdisciplinary skills to the table to do so.
