and talk about two documents from the US government that discuss open source in very different ways. The CISA document lays out a way to measure open source, but we take issue with the idea of trying to measure which open source projects are "good". The Whitehouse on the other hand takes an approach that is very open source, get involved. Trying to measure open source isn't producing anything actionable, but getting involved is very actionable, and very much how open source works. Show Notes

If they feel their creativity is best presented with a popup that is surrounded by a blur to force you to interact with it, and then when you make it go away there are header and footer ads, and every two paragraphs there is an ad… I can take a moment and find a different page.” I no longer link to pages that are ads interrupted with content. 🚫

Just texted with my super pessimistic kid who now actually has hope for the future. They said young people are “extremely animated” and that there would be "massive turnout if the momentum keeps up." They said they had great hopes for down ballot candidates. The other twin said he’d never been politically optimistic in his adulthood before. They’re 29.
A decade ago, I successfully lobbied the UK Government to adopt an Open Standard. https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2014/07/how-i-got-the-uk-government-to-adopt-odf/ That then accidentally kicked off a new career for me as I became a dedicated standards policy wonk. I wonder what the next decade will bring?

I have a theory that for the last 10 years #faang companies who prefer Code Golf solutions in job interviews means they only end up hiring people who learned to beat the interview, and not actually have software engineering or critical thinking ability.

I keep making satire of The Onion's series on gun safety because "software engineers" are not engineers and we keep fucking up society-critical things by using unsafe tools to make them. Want that series to end? Make the madness stop.
