There should be a name for the thing where we KNOW most of the professionals in our own field don’t agree on anything and are bad at their jobs, and yet assume the members of other professions must be uniformly competent and consensus-driven.

Reverse Gell-Mann amnesia?

Hardest line ever dropped in a keynote livetweet.

My attempt to summarize how the business of open source got into its current nonsensical condition.

The XZ attack isn't nearly as much of a threat to the future of open-source as the increasing possibility that it might all be lawyered to death. newsletter.goodtechthings.com/p/the-threat-t…

Related phenomenon: you’re going to see way less money spent on “developer marketing” as companies realize that developers don’t spend money and have little influence on those who do.

Wonderful cartoon by Forrest Brazeal and spot on ->

Wendy’s is bending over backwards to explain why their new “dynamic pricing” for burgers isn’t like Uber surge pricing. They’re right. Pretty sure drivers earn more during surge hours. I have not heard that fast food wages will be “surging” during the lunch rush.
