The folks behind the “State of …” surveys have a new one, and there are zero questions about coding! Instead, the focus is on us. ✨

The questions are about developer interests, health, work preferences, stuff like that. I’m *super* keen to see the results!

You can take the survey here:

Look at this man. He's 81.

Age is a reason not to understand trans issues. I can forgive that. Especially when you ask someone about how to get it right, like my parents did (and do).

Age is not a reason to be a bigot. Being a bigot does that.

We love books so much, we made a super-limited run of pleather hand-bound books I had made at a local bookbinding shop. All done by hand. Custom stamp for the embossed gold printing. It's beautiful and feels so buttery soft.

alt text society of authors: META BOOK THIEVES they must #DoTheWriteThing

Mark Stafford @marxtafford.bsky.social · Apr 3

Worked too late last night to join in the physical world, but today the SoA, ALCS and others have planned a day of action to protest against Meta’s alleged theft of copyright-protected works with SoA members assembling outside Meta’s London offices.
Hope the point is made.
Wish I was there.
