   @inthehands for a while I went about trying to do things the docker way and used one of the docker-oriented hosting services and eventually decided it just doesn’t make sense. It feels like it’s trying to solve problems most people don’t have. At least at the personal-project level; but I also suspect for professional use too.

   It’s like microservices or something: not necessarily *never* useful, but people convince themselves it’s useful when it’s not, just because big tech likes it; and/or if it is useful in a particular case it may just be a sign of a deeper problem.

   @evan This isn't me throwing stones from a glass house.

   I'm descended from survivors of the Trail of Tears. The US's history with the natives is bloody and brutal too.

   It just strikes me weird to see "Together they deal with, and then managed, the indigenous peoples who lived here first" without an ounce of irony.

   @grimalkina Great thread, but I especially want to +1 this point.

   A lot of my success in running software teams comes from being very mindful about keeping people's psychological defense systems from kicking in.

   As soon as people get on the defensive, they are no longer working together to find the objectively best engineering solution -- you are fighting over semantic territory. We're hard-wired for it, when egos are threatened they will fight to win.

   But threatened minds are not open or curious. They aren't taking in new data, they are defending what they already know. Listening stops, synthesis stops, creativity stops. And team dynamics go to shit, too.

   It's not easy to get folks to engage and debate without feeling threatened, but it can be done. Takes a good amount of finesse at first, but if you can get it established as a cultural norm it can make magic happen.

   @Gargron @Bright5park @Mastodon so very very many times I've been disappointed by things shopping to US only. Vice versa happens too.

   It's sort of nice to see an EU-based somethingorother get popular enough stateside that they get sad when they can't get the merch delivered.

   @deborahh @bmacDonald94 @timwilliamsart

   Thank you. It makes me feel sick - and helpless - too.

   It just hit me - that's what all this Trumpian schmuckiness is about. Making us all feel helpless while he trashes everything this country has accomplished, all our most cherished ideals, values, symbols, the progress we've made while he & his culties figuratively shit on us all.

   He just made that disgustingly clear.

   He is pathetic.

   I'm an Optimist, not because I don't live in reality, and refuse to see the bad things in the world. I'm an Optimist, because I do see those things, but I also believe that the only way to start changing them is the belief that they can be changed.

   I'm an Optimist, because I study history. I'm an Optimist, because of my own history, and the history of other's I've met along the way. I've seen the worst happen to people, and they mourn and grieve, but somehow get up again. Not just get up, but determine to break the trauma for the next generation.

   I'm an Optimist, not because I don't get overwhelmed and depressed, but because the reason I do, is I hate suffering, because I have empathy for people. I can keep being an Optimist, because I know so many of you do too.

   It's easy to say the world is bad, and will always be bad, and there is truth in that, the bad will always be there, but that ignores that there is good, has been good, and will continue to be good, and having a vision that it can be better makes you a part of that good. I am an Optimist, because it is the only way things change, because excepting darkness as the only option, isn't an option for me.
