Recently I've seen a few people comment on the air quality readings inside large art galleries; the results were far better than on trains, in planes and airports, in movie theatres and so on, due to the need for conservation of the artwork. It's just so strange thinking about how we apparently care more about protecting art than we do about protecting our own lives.

The secret to software engineering is to focus all of your energy as a team (and a company) on learning how to share information between each other better. Build that understanding. Build that ability to uplift and teach each other. For fuck's sake, stop worrying about over engineering and worry about under understanding the problem. The over engineering goes away the second you start putting humans first and start prioritizing understanding over an artificial roadmap built without context

Folks remembering #AaronSwartz today - remember that he was moving publicly-funded research out from behind a paywall. Then remember the only reason the case went forward is because federal prosecutors, specifically Carmen Ortiz and Stephen Heymann, wanted to make an example of him. “Theft is theft, and it doesn’t matter if you use a crowbar or a computer” were Heymann’s words at the time. Notice how federal prosecutors aren’t bullying Sam Altman for the wholesale theft of content network-wide, to build a machine that spews bullshit and further destroys our ability to determine the truth? It’s because he’s doing it for private profit, while Aaron worked for the public good. Never let yourself be tricked into believing the legal system is a justice system.

"Regulation stops innovation! Companies need to be free to do whatever the fuck they want to create innovation!" My brother in Christ, if anything stops innovation, it's patents and copyright. You're less likely to die in a car crash only because Volvo engineers gracefully decided to do humanity a favor and not patent the 3-point seatbelt technology. But for example, a technology of safely stopping table saws is patented and only one company can create them, suing similar projects from other companies out of existence 🤡

There’s a video posted by a Cloudflare account executive getting laid off that she recorded as she argues with the HR team. It’s painful to watch on both sides, which explains why other big techs just send an email or provide an error when you try to login. As callous as it seems to do it via email or failed account login, getting told by strangers who just treat you as another name on the list feels worse. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRcqvbnC/
