Remembering a high school comic book guy acquaintance attempting to explain to me that women weren’t equal to men, they were “equivalent”, and suddenly it’s clear why I never meshed with that culture & stuck to new wave sf.

OK retweet this far and wide. 😜
How to Become Successful Developer
1. Learn a technology you like.
2. Build something with that technology.
3. Tell everybody how much you like building things with that technology.
4. Ask to get hired to build using that technology.
5. Profit!

My parenting philosophy is simple: my children don't owe me a g-d thing.
Once they are of legal age, our socially-obligated guardian contact is concluded. I will always love them and be a friend, but they are welcome—encouraged even—to live their own lives how they see fit.

"text": "You should blog. Yes, you. It's really easy to get started. Use whatever platform you want. And you can subscribe to all your friends' updates too.\u2014 Ben Werdmuller (@benwerd) October 5, 2022\n\nI obviously agree, seeing as I\u2019ve been blogging for ~20 years now. But it did get me thinking about what I\u2019d like to see out of a modern blogging system. (More specifically, self-hosted blogging systems.) There\u2019s nothing wrong with WordPress, per se, but just as a thought exercise, what would I want to do differently if I were going to write blogging software? \n\n\n\n\nBuilt in subscription reader. One of the things that systems like Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook get \u201cright\u201d is that consuming and publishing happen in the same place. It\u2019d be great to see an integrated RSS reader, with easy re-sharing functionality built in. Ideally, the RSS reader would be Open Reader compatible, so those who want their own RSS reader can integrate with it if desired.\n\nCustomizable Editor(s). Make a nice rich text editor, sure, but also make it easy to swap out for markdown or other solutions, so users can choose what works for them.\n\nStrong Native APIs. That\u2019s kinda broad, but I also mean it kind of broadly. WebSub, Webmentions, RSS, everything for both writing TO the blog and reading FROM it. This would allow for some interesting potential applications that could build from the blog backend, and leave room for custom frontends using any number of different frontend frameworks (React, Vue, and so on).\n\nMedia is a First-Class Citizen. Photos and video should obviously be supported, and with a good organizational structure for files and attachments (I know they\u2019ve put in a fair amount of work on it but I\u2019m still pretty unhappy with how media is handled in WordPress). Further, support for multimedia embeds and unfurls from other services.\n\nDead Simple POSSE. As a reminder, POSSE stands for Publish on Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. It\u2019s the principle of posting everything you can on a site or service you control, and then letting integrations with other services share that content to other sites (such as automatically cross-posting images to your Instagram or announcing new articles on Twitter, et cetera). I realize this is somewhat limited by other services being willing to play ball (they want to capture your content, not share it, which is why you\u2019ve seen many services get progressively more locked down).\nIt\u2019s worth noting, a lot of these things you can already sorta do with WordPress. You don\u2019t hear a lot about the WP API, but it does have one. Likewise, there are several alternative editors, including a \u201cClassic\u201d editor for those who don\u2019t like the new Gutenberg editor, and ones that enable Markdown. It\u2019s really about making it all feel built in, not tacked on, where the reading and writing flow feels natural.\n\n\n\nWhat \u201ckiller feature\u201d would you want to see that would help you start blogging?",
