We often treat load-bearing infrastructure in software ecosystems an unserious way. When catastrophic things happen in software ecosystems we rarely make the systemic changes requires to ensure it won't happen again. @matthewsanabria.com #infrastructure #software #softwareengineering

@steveklabnik.com thinks bringing new people into open source is like feeding cats to coyotes. What do you think? 🤔

People make projects for joy. And then others start depending on those projects. You wind up being buried in work and the project no longer generates joy for you. Instead it genera...

It's far too easy for open source maintainers to step out of the joy economy and into the capitalist economy without noticing it's happened. All of the sudden that fun side project...

Some believe that large companies are well run, @skriptble.me questions whether they've actually peered at the insides. There is mess everywhere, seemingly unlimited chaos, and a bunch of people barely holding the entire thing together. Elegant this is not. @matthewsanabria.com #tech #business

@steveklabnik.com on JJ's approach to handling conflicts: "JJ allows commits to stay in a conflicted state. It's chill with that happening." @steveklabnik.com explains why this is important for developers working on multiple branches simultaneously. #OpenSource #Git fallthrough.fm/ep/70
It usually only takes 1 project for an open source maintainer to learn they need to set boundaries. Unfortunately, that 1 project often becomes load bearing infrastructure before we've even realized what's happened, putting everyone in quite a predicament. @www.jvt.me.web.brid.gy #opensource
We've been told the world is run by incredibly strategic multi-billion and multi-trillion dollar companies, but for those who work inside them, it feels like nothing could be further from the truth. Would these companies function if all the EAs stopped working? @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com
OpenAI overbuilt capacity and in hindsight, that looks prescient. Anthropic was conservative and is visibly struggling to serve the traffic they actually have. fallthrough.fm/ep/70 @steveklabnik.com
GitHub and GitLab do too much. @skriptble.me thinks they should actually be hubs instead of being the everything platform. We already went through this with social media companies and the solutions were more open platforms like the Fediverse and Bluesky. #tech #software #opensource #github #gitlab
Epistemic markers are phrases like "I think", "I guess", "maybe", and "certainly". They tell us how confident the speaker is in what they are saying. Their usage has been declining for decades, but AI leaders have taken it to an entirely new level. @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com #language #tech
We are not powerless. Collectively we wield tremendous power. We just have to decide to actually wield it. fallthrough.fm/ep/64 #Labor #Unions
Fighting revolutions does suck, as @steveklabnik.com. But as @skriptble.me counters, that doesn't mean the lives of those fighting is only despair. #History #Power
This graduation season, schools across the U.S. have continued their attempts to silence pro-Palestine speech. Rutgers professor Noura Erakat says repression of Palestine protest only spreads outwards. "We are the Trojan horse to bring in these policies that will affect everyone."

My backyard looks like a winter wonderland, but it’s just magnolia petals. It started blooming a few days ago, and in a few more days, all the petals will be on the ground — a great reminder that some of the most beautiful moments in life are fleeting. Keep your eyes open so you don’t miss them!

In the realm where dreams are woven into lines, an artist's hand becomes a conduit for the intangible to take shape. With each stroke of graphite or ink, worlds come alive upon the canvas or paper, a delicate dance of creation guided by the heart's rhythm. Through the motion of hand and the gaze ...

Today is Equal Pay Day. Just how far have women come? Right now, women working full time are paid less than men. The gap is even wider for Black women, Latinas & mom's. This affects real life: rent, groceries, child care and healthcare. Equal pay means economic security. It's time to close the gap.

Carissa says one of the dangers of algorithmic predictions, which are being used to shape everything from criminal sentencing to insurance premiums, is how they lock people into outcomes they may have otherwise been able to get out of. 2/
There’s many Americans, and especially Michiganders, who still care deeply about the U.S.-Canada relationship. We are in a tough moment right now, but there is a future after President Trump.
Medical campaigns miss targets because teams assume 'medical' means HCP when the product should reach patients. The targeting question matters more than the creative one. https://agencymedicalmarketing.com/videos

The Soviet Union was a recognized superpower, but Russia is not currently considered a global superpower. Putin has authorized Police to Conduct "Preventive Measures" Against Draft Evasion. And in Syzran, the oil refinery has suspended operations. 😿
Is technology changing how we think, without us even noticing? The next generation is not just growing up with technology, they are being shaped by it in ways that are still unfolding. Attention, learning, memory, even how ideas are formed, all of it is shifting.

Jon Husted was ranked one of the most corrupt politicians in Washington, and honestly, we’re not surprised. Ohioans need a leader who will take on billionaires and special interests to bring down costs and support working families. That’s exactly what I’m gonna do.

Rumors were rampant that Aaron Rodgers would show up during the draft in Pittsburgh and announce his return for 2026. The Steelers seem to be trying to throw water on that. (Or it’s just part of the setup for the big reveal.)
When you light a candle, it’s the vaporised wax that burns, not the solid or liquid wax 🕯️️ This demo inspired by Faraday's 1848 lecture series "The Chemical History of a Candle" shows how a simple burning candle is a treasure trove of chemistry. Watch the full lecture here: youtu.be/cqTPYoye2J8
