This content type is full of IndieWeb post types, which are all content types which allow me to take greater ownership of my own data. These are likely unrelated to my blog posts. You can find a better breakdown by actual post kind below:
Nishant Roy, Engineering Manager at Pinterest Ads, joins Johnny & Jon to detail how they’ve managed to continue shipping quality software from startup through hypergrowth all the way to IPO. Prepare to learn a lot about Pinterest’s integration and deployment pipeline, observability stack, Go-based services and more...
Erik is not wrong - this kind of writing from DHH (alongside the banning of 'politics' at 37signals) greases the white supremacy wheel.
@tomstuart spoke truth about this many years ago, and it is still spot-on today: "DHH is the Fox News of Ruby" - tomstu.art/the-dhh-problem
I try not to look at numbers too much because it distracts away from the point of blogging which is to just write.
But I have to say, I completely forgot the punch in the stomach, "holy shit" feeling when I see readers from all over the world take a minute to read my post.
Turns out post.news is backed by a16z. Lets see if they do it like Clubhouse and make the suggested follow list almost solely a16z partners and a smattering of anti media reactionaries
... the podcast describes Post as a micropayment play, which requires news publishers to collaborate in a way they never have before. (Of that I'm skeptical.) Marc Andreessen, who blocks me for some reason, is a funder, as well.
I am @jayrosen_nyu on Post.News 2/2
Notable that Marc Andreessen backed Elon’s twitter takeover and is now also backing Post, a counter app. Once again, you think you’re given a choice but the rich get richer either path you take
So, not only is PostNews VC funded, but it’s these investors/advisors?🤮
Guess we can’t even have an app where the SAME folks who got us here (as investors, advisers & cheerleaders) aren’t in charge & maintaining the same structural hierarchy?
Expect a suggested user list:(😱

Mastodon stampede. "Federation" now apparently means "DDoS yourself." Every time I do a new blog post, within a second I have over a thousand simultaneous hits of that URL on my web server from unique IPs. Load goes over 100, and mariadb stops...

Fun fact: sharing this link on Mastodon caused my server to serve 112,772,802 bytes of data, in 430 requests, over the 60 seconds after I posted it (>7 r/s). Not because humans wanted them, but because of the LinkFetchWorker, which kicks off 1-60 seconds after Mastodon indexes a post (and possibly before it's ever seen by a human).
Every Mastodon instance fetches and stores their own local copy of my 750kb preview image.
(I was inspired by to look by @jwz@mastodon.social's post: https://mastodon.social/@jwz/109411593248255294.)
The real, factual definition of child grooming is forming a relationship with a child and sometimes their family to gain the child’s trust for the purpose of sexually abusing them. It has nothing to do with LGBTQ people or drag and saying it does is harmful to real child victims
The fun thing about posting mean jokes about Elon Musk on Twitter is you know there's a startlingly huge chance he is actually going to read it and it will hurt his feelings.
i don't want to be right or left, but the left's wokeness has gone Too Far, so i was pushed to the right. curiously i do not get pushed leftwards when right-wingers do mass shootings targeting minorities. that isn't Too Far
Ahh yes. Personal emergencies always work around a million dollar company’s schedule. Call offs happen. Maybe find a way to further incentivize your workers instead of being a bitch.
“We are a million dollar company”
Then why don’t you pay like one?

It's hilarious to watch the richest man in the world successfully recruited by white supremacists the exact same way they recruit teen boys: targeting the angriest, loneliest ones they can find and flattering them endlessly while feeding them talking points.
"Where has the Silicon Valley work ethic gone? In my day, engineers at startups used to work 80 hours a week and slept in the office to ensure the company was successful!"
My brother in Christ you run an e-scooter rental app with negative gross profit margins
Ill take 100 lines of clear and concise code over 10 "smart" lijes any day.
Post details
What a novice does in 100 lines of code, an expert does in 10. Oddly, they often take the same amount of time to write. The difference is thought and care.
Elon Musk has spent decades building something big: himself.
And it’s worked. The myth of Elon Musk as the “good billionaire” or the “visionary genius” has made him a lot of money.
So we fact-checked these myths.
I think the pandemic was the first time many people were forced to adjust their behavior out of consideration for others (in an unfamiliar way) and it immediately made half the country insane
That safeword take that's going around is bad, so here's one that I think is good: an ex & I had a safeword we also used in non-sexual situations, like if a joke went too far or a conversation strayed onto a triggering topic, which meant we'd just stop, no questions asked
