"Code is, ultimately, characters on a screen, and software engineers do nothing but hammer that code into shapes that spark Joy and Money. The fear and dread comes from a culture where people feel bad that they can't work quickly enough in the terrible codebase, where they feel judged for slowing down to hammer the code into better shapes that sadly aren't on the Jira board, and where management looks down on people who practice craftsmanship."

This situation actually reminds me a bit of the dotcom bubble collapse in the late '90s / early '00s, with slight differences.
Declining stocks & VC led to a bunch of startups initially being unable to obtain additional funding. To make matters worse, ad demand started falling, leading to lower revenues for ad-based internet services.
In this case, a decline of ad demand is trailing dotcom revenue shortages. I suspect currency & stock weakness & a slowing econ…

Here's why having accounts on different apps is a good thing:
Instead of responding directly to the person who annoyed me, or even sub posting on the same platform, Ima make snarky comments over here where, likely, they will never see it.
Like:
I'm going to start calling straight white guys in positions that *I* don't think they're qualified for "legacy hires".

“Dangerous Coats” by Sharon Owens
Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To spread sedition
Which means unrest
To you & me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies, start sewing
Dangerous coats
Made of pockets & sedition

@… Amazing, thanks for sharing! It doesn’t surprise me that per-language approaches have been taken, and I would expect that if someone did this, it would be people who’ve already done it once, but niche.
I was definitely inspired a bit by Darklang.

After wearing my cargo pants yesterday and being spoiled by decent sized pockets (I could fit my phone in the front pocket, keys, and lipstick without it falling out when I sit) I’m pissed again about the pockets in my current pants, back pocket I can only put my hand up to my second knuckle in the back (might fit a lipstick but it would fall out) and the front ones, stuff keeps falling out when I sit. I’m going to lengthen the pockets based on the cargo pants pockets, I don’t care if it ‘ruins the line of the pants, and adds bulkiness’ because as I always say, women’s pockets, when pants have them, are bullshit. And I don’t care if they make me look fat because I value function and comfort more. My son can fit a whole keyboard in his. I’ve been gradually lengthening my pockets as I get to them, or wearing a Fanny pack, but had to go to a funeral Sunday and got pissed again about my pockets. I want to empower other women with decent pockets, so we can take over. That poem about seditious pockets comes to mind. Or at least carry phones and keys. Will post photos. #sewing #pockets #womenspants

@… Very cool!
I agree. This isn’t the 1980s any more, and we’re past the point that one person can build an operating system. And this is a large chunk of an operating system.
This is why I’m not even trying. But if people were willing to try with me, and I trusted them, I might change my mind.
