The ADHD experience is having a growing collection of empty notebooks, pristine water bottles, and untouched to-do apps, each one a monument to good intentions.
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.
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.
So.. you are “just not that into politics?”
-Your Boss is
-Your Landlord is
-Your Insurance Company is
And everyday they use their political power to keep your pay low, raise rent, and deny you coverage.
It’s time to get into politics.

John Gregory’s GopherCon talk “7 Deadly Gopher Sins” is the ostensible basis of this spooky Go Time episode, but with Mat Ryer at the helm… the only thing to expect is the unexpected. And failed jokes. Expect lots of failed jokes.
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. My résumé is at https://beesbuzz.biz/resume

Just caught up on the @packagingcon@fosstodon.org day 1 stream. Lots of great content.
If you're interested in package managers or supply chain security at all, and you're not attending, you're missing out!

PSA to other folks who also frequently schedule meetings across the Atlantic: DST ends this Sunday in Europe but it doesn’t end until the following Sunday in the US—because if we’re going to fuck with the clocks let’s maximize the chaos and fuck with them at different times, sure, why not.
Ashley Williams and Adam Jacob joined Adam and Bryan to continue their panel discussion with Bryan following up his p99conf talk revisiting open source anti-patterns. Notably, open source has accelerated the distribution of value… without clarity on how contributors can capture that value. Has...
never hurts to be reminded of the 4 mental health quick fix bandaids:

Open source is more than just code.
It's a community of people who are passionate about building better software together.
Take the 2024 State of #OpenSource Survey and help us celebrate the community: https://www.research.net/r/open-source-initiative.
Community does not scale.
Audience scales.
Community is decentralized for quality.
Audience is centralized for profit.
Community is generative.
Audience is extractive.

Adam showcases the value of self-hosting data and its benefits for small to mid-sized businesses. He also shares his free book to support tech authors.
The concept of the developer platform and the discipline of platform engineering have been important in shaping how the industry thinks about enabling developers. But what does it mean to actually build and maintain a platform? How can you ensure it actually supports the people that need it? In this episode of the Technology Podcast, hosts Ken Mugrage and Rebecca Parsons are joined by Chris Ford of Thoughtworks Spain and Aidan Donnelly, Director of Technology Platform at Personio, to discuss the importance of engineering platforms in organizations today. Read Aidan's writing on Medium:
Ethan Marcotte is here to talk about his new book, You Deserve a Tech Union, and discusses topics such as why we need unions in tech, who gets to be in the union, how unions can help deal with the AI question, union busting, and some arguments against unions.

Funny thing with Musk shitting on wikipedia about the money it's wasting is...
A free, open collaborative encyclopedia of all human knowledge, so good it's basically the default reference for everything, and it's using this much money
Meanwhile tons of tech companies get hyper inflated valuations and absurd amount of VC money for bullshit that is at best not really useful, at worse actively harmful to society.
yeah sorry I'm not gonna attack wikipedia for needing budget to run the biggest most useful encyclopedia on earth actually
Time for DNS to propagate normally: a couple minutes, go make a cup of coffee or something
Time for DNS to propagate after fixing a typo in a record: The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again
