Give your developers Chromebooks running Linux
Make sure that they build using CI and are using a browser that's more painful to use than your users

When developing something I expect others to use, I always want to make sure it'll run nicely on a potato. Modern software tends to be very wasteful of resources.
It helps that I don't run top-of-the-line equipment myself.

Yeah, exactly
It's ok to use nice cases and wifi, but I want people writing software to work for people who aren't doing regular hardware refreshes

The best part of NFT people is that they don't understand what barriers they are overcoming, they aren't quite sure what ownership is, they aren't really sure why or how societies exist

@HippyWizard @ValpalCoolGal They think nobody ever made jodorowsky's dune because.... What nobody could find these missing production bibles? Were they stolen by raiders? Do they think Alejandro Jodorowsky didn't make his adaptation because the book got stolen?

@HippyWizard @ValpalCoolGal two questions
are these just smart contracts that collect money then place a bid?
does that mean fucking christie's has some sort of API or whatever to collect bids from crypto weirdos?

For the Constitution it was just a wallet that collected money without any underlying logic or contract and said it wouldn't be evil
It did refund people, but most people lost all the refund as gas

Cryptocurrency is the best webdev project
You take something that works, and replace it with something slower, less easy to use, uglier, that takes more power
That's basically their whole purpose

Using Archive.org to figure out what the devs are doing because the comments have apparently been there a while
One thing about time tracking and using scrum and stories I am noticing is that they create secret knowledge
Because people are discouraged from solving problems (especially minor ones) without a card, there's friction to solving minor problems, and so you build secret knowledge

I have yes.
In my situation though, we have strong engineering management as well as domain experts that aren't business people, so the business folks have to take somewhat of a back seat.
What you're talking about is a common problem, I'm just saying that there's a different way and that overly powerful PMs are a sign of problems.

I think the problem I am having is that you seem to be focusing on Agile-In-Theory and not Agile-In-Practice.
I am glad you have a great employer, but I have not seen one in any of the several places I've worked.

Started using Delta.chat ( @Delta Chat ) this morning and I am hella impressed so far. I am feeling a little "who needs XMPP!" but also a little "Those who do not remember the past are doomed to reimplement it badly over HTTP" and I don't know which impulse is winning

Amazon's architecture diagrams were designed by someone with no ability to draw - right? That's the only way they can look so bad?
"OK, here's a network with an app server and DB server and a load balancer, please allow me to drawn 500 items"
I am pretty sure that this is because they legally need to draw one line per thing they want to charge for

Canada’s support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity will never waver, and we stand with them against Russian aggression.

It's funny that people pay for Gitlab support because it's basically "you can open an issue and we can ignore it"
I have been using Gitlab for 7 days and I already treat their support like I would using HackerNews as a support forum
@HippyWizard This is why I self host everything I can. I have long since learned I can't count on most anyone else.
This is also why I despise software that logs poorly.

@HippyWizard I worked at a company that paid for Qt support and we opened a ticket and they were like "glad you asked! to proceed, here are all the things I need you to do in gdb for me"
… and their code is all inscrutable d-pointer stuff!

@HippyWizard i spent like an hour trying to humor before my deep-dive into the library's internals turned up the fact that *IT WRAPS ANOTHER EVEN LOOP* (so you can combine it with components that use GTK) and there are undocumented settings that can control this
@SaddestRobots Holy shit
Ok - I actually prefer that to "Trying to mirror a repo returns a 500 Error" being ignored, but only because I am assuming the Qt support person had gone mad trying to debug the issue

@HippyWizard well, no, they just sent back, "ok, just gdb it and put breakpoints everywhere, you figure it out" — not even, like, a breakpoint file that'll set the useful ones for tracing the problem
@SaddestRobots Oh, well then I have literally no sympathy. That's literally what you're paying them for. Bah. Exactly this shit. It's why so often when I hear people say you pay for software because of support I am skeptical.
@HippyWizard my only real sympathy here is, like, they were clearly trying to sunset this whole service entirely (it was very hard to buy it at all), but boss insisted we keep paying for it
still, though

@HippyWizard my funniest paid-support interaction was with Red Hat, when i sorta got them to admit the GNOME team completely killed support for multiple X screens (like when you have :0.0 and :0.1) because they just forgot what it does

The decentralized internet is cool because in the early 2000s a canadian politician tried and failed to get belinda.com but someone blogged there.
And because they were a woman who swore the politician decided it was porn and tried to get it shut down, and the blogger wrote an article about how it was weird she got more traffic from confused Canadians but didn't even *know* that someone tried to shut her down.

Also, it's definitely pornier than I remember, which is surprising since i was like 16 when this happened so I feel like that woulda been higher on my priority list.
