“Once it’s on the Internet it stays there forever” is no longer true. It’s increasingly hard, if not impossible, to find old information about niche topics using traditional search engines. We should al support open preservation projects around the world, they’re doing important public service.

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

I will never forget my old lead designer at Turbine, Chris Clay, who had a rule:
Never spend more time talking about a design in a meeting than it would take to prototype it and see.
I was in plenty of meetings where he suddenly slapped the table and invoked Clay's Law

I had an hour long meeting today about doing a thing, a thing I would have been doing if I didn’t have an hour long meeting.

The level of idiocy the AI bros are operating at is insane. At the CWI of the University of Amsterdam they have worked for decades on Rascal, a tool for language transformation (which IS used in practice) and even they never pulled off this kind of project.

Spending the holidays processing just how betrayed I feel by the software and web industry
My career has been fifteen years of hope and promise—some fulfilled, some not—followed by a decade where the industry stopped pretending and just looted society
Being a bit angry about it is quite reasonable

Just saw a post by a "fractional cto" saying he led a technological migration, and one of the important changes he pushed for, was to create an abstraction for the payment provider, to make it easier to change in the future.
Really? That's the claim to fame of a "fractional cto"?

I've been Windows free for some months now, but still had some issues to fix, particularly with my desktop.
Took a while (years 🤐) but finally got some Linux distro to play along with my aging Nvidia GPU and 4K display (plus a 1080p one).

I'll say here what I left unstated in my @monktoberfest.com talk: AWS in particular is in a state of cultural collapse because they have done exactly this -- and their RTO mandate has served to decimate organizational trust.
Another awesome @monktoberfest.com talk by @bcantrill.bsky.social ! It's absolutely worth watching the whole talk, but I think the last bit is great way to wrap up, where Bryan talks about broken institutional and organisational trust using RTO example:

Is it some sort of requirement that all "data projects" are a barely readable Python mess?
