Hell, we'd even been ringing the alarm bell over DHH since the early 2010s. Hysterical SJWs!

When you reach a certain age as a software engineer, for instance my age, you give up the pretense of the rubber duck and just have conversations with yourself out loud.

Remember in the late 2010s when some lone voices were calling for tech workers to get serious and unionize? And no one cared because they thought the 6-figure salaries and flex time would continue forever?

Things didn't have to get this bad.

@mcc I actually built the feature that warns you about blocked users, back when I worked for Github for a minute. Could not have predicted this use case!

If self-transformation isn't part of contributing, what even is the point?

Call me old-fashioned, but "I rented a robot that wrote some code" doesn't seem like participating in FOSS in good faith.

It's here! Available now from Apress/SpringerNature, "We Just Build Hammers: Stories from the Past, Present, and Future of Responsible Tech" brings to life tales of the unsung heroes of responsible tech, and the science fiction that inspired them.

I finally picked up one of those migraines that people are always talking about. Can't say I’m a fan, but you do you.

If your website only works in Chrome, you have fundamentally missed the point of the web. (And you certainly don't know its history, either.)

Since you asked, yes, I am writing a second book.

(You already know about the Hammer book, right? https://thehammerbook.com)

A friend who works as a data center technician just HAD to go and make a comment about my cable management, so I've been climbing all over the studio floor with velcro for an hour now

This would be an excellent time for a deus ex machina but I think we might be on our own here friends.

Should institutional review boards (IRBs) consider the climate impact of AI-based research proposals?

@ntnsndr I don't know, but there's a great Gogol Bordello song about it ("Supertheory of Supereverything”)

SREs, dev ops, and other on-call folks, I am literally begging you to unionize

Look at the research material that came today!

This is the infamous Wonder Woman #203, December 1972, the "Women's Lib" issue. It was written by award-winning Black Queer scifi legend Samuel Delany. In the first of what was to be a six-issue arc, newly mortal Diana Prince reluctantly gets caught up in the Women's Lib movement, finally acting as its champion in a climactic battle at an abortion clinic.

Everyone knows Taco Tuesday, but what about THAC0 Thursday?

@ntnsndr I'd love to have you as a pre-reader if you're up for it. Let's get in touch?

@ntnsndr I'm hoping to have the draft complete over the next 3 months. I’m doing tons of research so it's stop-and-go with writing, but so far my thesis is holding up. :)
