@mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioI used to valorize moving fast and breaking things, completely taken by Silicon Valley’s mythos around itself.
I remember thinking that enterprises were incompetent because they spent so long doing even simple tech migrations and tool implementations.
I get it now. Time isn’t saved when issues are ignored. It’s just put on other people’s plates.
It’s not your problem if you run a quick thoughtless fix, but it will be the problem of future teams and employees. (Or future you, potentially)
@markhburton@mstdn.socialA guide to Andy Burnham
1) Broadly principled and well meaning.
2) Seduced by growthist thinking despite encouraging some green initiatives. Result, those initiatives are highly compromised and too small scale to count. Examples, i) Building on green space, ii) failure to enact effective measures to restrict private motoring - all carrots no sticks.
3) A tendency to associate with 'celebrities'.

@anildash@me.dmAmidst all the buzz around things like Gas Town and Ralph, etc. there are some bits of actual substance that promise to actually empower coders — and potentially shift the power dynamic away from Big AI, while making it easier to create software just by describing ideas in plain text. I've been thinking of the idea as "codeless" software creation, for lack of a better term (the jargon doesn't matter, I just needed a name to talk about it) and would love your thoughts!

You can think without writing. But writing can help massively to improve your thinking because it forces more clarity and specificity.

@hex@kolektiva.socialIn the time I've been offline, I've been doing a lot and feeling a lot more mentally healthy. I've been exploring nomadnet a bit, looking at reticulum. I'm definitely going to go back to my break and being online much less regularly.
I actually totally forgot about the anniversary of the shooting, which is the first time that's happened since... uh... the shooting, I think.
I've definitely realized that, on some level, I've definitely used Mastodon (and formerly Twitter) as a coping mechanism, often in order to deal with the stressful things that I've found out about on Mastodon or Twitter.
But, again, none of those things really change our core job: build community. And that's part of what I've been neglecting, and what I can focus on more when I'm not spending as much time talking to people all over the world indirectly. Like, I can just chat directly with folks and talk about this shit.
Yeah, I do think there's value in this community. I don't think it's really screaming into the void (at least, not most of the time). But I know that I need the balance to be way farther on the side of direct engagement with comrades doing and building.
So that's what I'm gonna go back to. I feel as though it's a good sign that with all the writing about getting shot that I've been doing, and all the thinking about that, that the actual anniversary of the shooting I'm actually just thinking about bread.
And that seems like a good note to leave on. I'm gonna go back to some hacker shit.

I want more people to join this "thinking well about the world" club and conversation. I want us to end up collectively in a better place than we're at. We gotta band together to do that. But also that means we need to communicate like we're in public and talking to people who don't all agree, and some of whom are hostile, and some of whom are real boneheads for various reasons.

Full changelog of today’s updates:
@pavelasamsonov@mastodon.socialThere's a new "design is dead, because AI" piece (thinly disguised marketing from Anthropic). But looking past the hype headlines, their claims cover purely production-stage tasks.
When it comes to the work of understanding user needs and evaluating the opportunity space, AI actually makes your thinking worse. Studies show that it alienates you from users and colleagues, and flattens your thinking.
We need more human-centered practice, not less.
