From the top of Mt. Crumpit, it’s the very first episode of ’Tis The Grinch Holiday Talk Show! The OG green grump (voiced by SNL’s James Austin Johnson) has been ordered to host his very own talk show as a punishment for that little misunderstanding where he tried to “steal” Christmas. On this episode, he unveils his (slightly questionable) advent calendar, plays a game of “Name That Sound,” and chats from the desk with special guest Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East! She says Santa would never cut it on the balance beam. Your move, Santa!

API designers and developers, you have to check out Redocly CLI. It’s replaced the old abandonware Speccy which handled linting and bundling, and completely obsoletes Swagger CLI which I’ve thankfully deprecated. #API #OpenAPI #REST #APIDesign https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/redocly-cli/

Anyone know a good place to ask #sqlite or #sql questions?
I'm trying to convert rows (produced by a big query that then uses a GROUP BY advisory_type) that produces data like:
-- the `advisory_type` can be one of multiple values, i.e. SECURITY, DEPRECATED, UNSUPPORTED
repo advisory_type total_advisories
------ ------------- ----------------
jvt.me SECURITY 10
jvt.me DEPRECATED 5
And I'm trying to convert this to:
repo total_security total_deprecated total_unmaintained
------ ------------- ---------------- ----------------
jvt.me 10 5 0
Any clue how I'd go about doing so? Happy to provide more details / some data for you to query too, but been playing around with it on and off and not really having any luck.

But that's a medium-term problem. The long-term issue with "rockstar" developers is that they tend to create a situation where the business says "Oh, we can just give that to Joe to do, because Alan will take too long and do a bad job." So Joe does the work. And Alan never learns. "Rockstar" developers can lull organisations into thinking they don't need to invest in building capability at the *team* level.

Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics: A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports. Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply *more likely to file bugs*. Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA https://techhub.social/@ozone89/111337250473454154

Open source contributors and maintainers play a vital role in the technology ecosystem. But what's it like to develop and maintain an open source tool — especially one that thousands of other developers use and depend on? In this episode of the Technology Podcast, Srinivasan Sekar and Sai Krishna join hosts Rebecca Parsons and Scott Shaw to discuss their work on AppiumTestDistribution, an open source tool that supports test automation framework Appium. AppiumTestDistribution won a LambdaTest Delta Award at the August 2023 Testμ Conference. Listen to Sekar and Krishna explain how the project emerged, how they approach maintaining and evolving the tool and what it takes to be a part of an award-winning open source project.

Just got notice that RIPE NCC will not be funding the #SmallWeb. Not surprising, since we haven’t had a single successful funding application and I’m done wasting my time with this crap. small-web.org will launch as a commercial service (host your own Small Web place for ~€10/mo) and hopefully that will make Small Technology Foundation sustainable. Since everything we do is free and open, others will also be able to host Small Web places. Also, you can fund us directly: https://small-tech.org/fund-us
