A lot of people while say of course, it’s a new car, a new TYPE of car, these problems will be resolved over time. But Tesla as a company has been around since 2003 and...

Days like today, I hate working in tech. Basecamp data analyst Jane Yang bravely posted an open letter to Jason and David about her experiences: janeyang.org/2021/04/27/an-… Now she’s getting pilloried by Hacker News bros proud to stand against the “woke SJWs”. What a mess. 🤦🏻‍♂️

RSVP: Yes for the IndieWeb Camp pop-up session: "Webmentions Beyond Webmention.io" 📅Sat, May 15, 2021 11:00am - 1:00pm PST boffosocko.com/2021/04/27/557…
I sort of like the idea of "Brain Baking" as a framing for lifelong learning with a bit of commonplace book or digital gardening thrown in. You can't help but love naming short notes as "new half-baked ideas". brainbaking.com (boffosocko.com/2021/04/27/557…)
RSVPed Attending Webmentions Beyond Webmention.io
Webmentions haven't really been revisited in some time (and with the advent of people leaning to Webmention.io). This is a chance to see what's been really wanted, what hasn't worked and where we can go with it. Let's webmunch on the riddle of webmentions. How can we get more people hosting their own webmention sending, receiving, and validating? How can we prevent Webmention.io from being the beginning and end of IndieWeb participants' use of webmentions?

Many of you know Lindsay Caron. I first met her at critical mass in Cincinnati in 2005. She has been an organizer in so many bike and tech communities and she sustained life-threatening head + pelvis trauma in a hit and run last week and is in a coma. gofund.me/379af2ec
This story of alleged sexual harassment and assault in the Scala community is really disturbing. From what Yifan says, it doesn’t sound like the organization was set up to protect victims:
After three years of silence, I have decided to speak up and share the story of how I was manipulated and harassed the past several years by an idolized figure in the Sca...
Wow. The answer to people calling the founders of Basecamp on their bullshit was…to publish more bullshit. 😳 We're not talking about some bogeyman Twitter mob here. Basecamp's *own employees* are unhappy. I'm dumbfounded. Are they trying to destroy their legacy on purpose?!

For a while I thought this was something everyone knew... then I realized not everyone has a Persian dad
Since the word "algorithm" is in the news today, here's a reminder that it is derived from a person's name: Muhammad al-Khwarizmi, a Persian mathematician known as the fa...
This is *huge*. Your ultimate job as a programmer isn't to write code. It's to realize all the code you *don't* need to write. And that starts by questioning what you're tasked to build every step of the way. Quality > Quantity
If you want to be a senior dev someday, or a better one now, I think you should practice doing this: When someone comes to you with a problem, before you start to fix it...
Still struggling to pull myself together. How is your Pandemic Q5 going? Do you see the light at the end of the tunnel or are you still deep in the dark?

Changes At Basecamp: A Fan Translation by @theccoder gist.github.com/shantiii/dccfc…
One of the most disappointing things about Farscape for me is how the passengers interact with Moya & Talyn. It’s more parasitic than symbiotic, to the point of being exploitative to the point of colonial for the Pilot & the ship. 1/3
It’d be fun to give these to every driver, though. twitter.com/sangyeh/status…
