> for a large share of actual product work, the person who can say "here is what done looks like, prove it without seeing my rubric" is more valuable than the person who can write the code.

Reposting to call out those two quotes and agree that this matches my experience as a staff developer…

@shanselman Scott, the paper frames the problem well but undersells one angle: the mid-tier. There is a huge population of devs who are not senior by title or years but have deep domain knowledge from living inside a product or industry for a long time. Those people get just as much of a boost as seniors, sometimes more, because they know exactly what to ask for and what to reject. The binary of "senior vs EiC" misses that. The preceptorship model is solid in theory but I am not sure it addres…

Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
One thing might not be obvious: Coates's reference to Carney's recent Quebec City speech suggests Canadians' need for historical context right now. He doesn't agree with Carney's claims. In fact, most Canadian historians would dispute them.

Letter: Dear Minister Miller, I am writing to you in my capacity as president of the Canadian Historical Association | Société historique du Canada. The members of our association have been distressed to see the recent news about cutbacks in a number of federal government units that are very important to all Canadians who are interested in the history of our country: Library and Archives Canada, the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum, Parks Canada, and Statistics Canad…
Letter: While we cannot expect the federal government to address problems at the provincial level, in your role as Minister of Canadian Heritage, we hope that we can count on you to advocate on behalf of all Canadians to maintain and enhance the role of agencies that collect data and records and make them accessible to broad publics. We recognise that the country faces many current challenges, but we do not want short-sighted decisions to have long-lasting effects on the future study of the co…

Energy crisis revives push to drill in Philippines’ largest intact wetland
MINDANAO, Philippines — There’s been a renewed push in the Philippines to develop oil and gas deposits in the southern Liguasan Marsh, prompted by the energy crisis caused by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which has drawn criticism from environmental groups.

What do people here make of that Simon Reynolds book, ‘Energy Flash’? I enjoyed sections of it, didn’t agree with the opinions of others, found the writing nice - but don’t know how accurate it is as a “history of rave and dance culture” since I wasn’t there.

I just can’t agree with this. I mean…yes, I feel for the guy. I’ve never been in his position. I don’t know what kind of pressure he was under.
What I •do• know is that if you publicly, eagerly capitulate to fascists, whatever reasons you might have for that, you accept the consequences of that choice. Collaborators who capitulated out of self-preservation instead of belief are still collaborators.

omg how absolutely awful. "dirty pictures," his history of underground #comix, was superb. (probably don't agree with his other politics but today is not the day for that.)
