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.

Open source is more than just code.
It's a community of people who are passionate about building better software together.

Audience scales.
Community is decentralized for quality.
Audience is centralized for profit.
Community is generative.
Audience is extractive.

@jkriggins looking at the future of open source
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.
Long time friend KBall makes his “first” appearance on The Changelog by way of Changelog & Friends. You likely know Kevin from his panelist position on JS Party. Today he’s sharing his passion for coaching and developing human skills.
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
This week Jerod goes solo with Philipp Heckel, creator of ntfy, to discuss this simple HTTP-based service that lets you send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer. They discuss why he built it, how he built it, and what his plans are for the future of this beloved side hustle.
Hey developers!
YEAH?
Do you like solving problems?
YEAH!
Do you like reverse engineering?
...YEah..
Do you like having zero documentation?
..uhm..
Buy a house! Enjoy a lifetime of fixing other people's undocumented hacks while introducing your own!
Why I think dependency scanning tooling should be providing as much data as possible about scanned projects, to allow other tooling to make better inferences about the data.

What COVID19 has taught us about the Zombie Apocalypse is that there will be zombie denialists, zombie virus infection parties, zombie conspiracy theorists, and politicians ruthlessly exploiting lies about zombies to kill off demographics who won't vote for them—and when a vaccine against Z-virus is invented there will be zombie anti-vaxxers (some of them funded by the Kremlin for shits and giggles).

PSA: "It's hard to find women to speak at events in Tech" - this is pure bullshit 💩
It's hard to convince women to risk attending a mostly-male event when they cannot see your ally-ship, maybe. But there are plenty of smart, highly capable women in Tech that would significantly enhance your event by speaking there.
Build your network. Listen to women. Then get a 50:50 women:men organizing team. 🧑🤝🧑 Then listen some more.
Maybe then women will say "yes" to your event.
