You know what’s cooler than setting off fireworks? Not setting off fireworks. Shut the fuck up

There are multiple definitions of “witch” across cultures over time. But on #Halloween, this a spooky reminder that throughout history, a witch often meant a woman with opinions and an independent life persecuted by the patriarchy for not fitting in.

there are many reasons I personally use mostly FOSS but honestly a big part of it is just on the one hand there's software that doesn't have the feature because nobody's gotten around to implementing it yet and on the other hand there's software that doesn't have the feature anymore because someone intentionally decided to break it and coming into contact with the second one makes me feel super shitty!

What idiot called it "spiraling" or "obsessive thinking" instead of "riding the unhappy-go-round"???

Open source is fundamentally about people. It's an important value to me to pay that forward and throw a few dollars when I can to these champions of our industry. I appreciate GitHub sponsorship & Open Collective for making it really easy to do so. In the corporate world, it's my belief that organizations have a duty as well to harness their vast resources and pay these same maintainers their dues since they benefit the most off that labour.

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.

People will have an "evil arc" and it's literally just setting healthy boundaries.

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.

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.
