This Wednesday is the Folk Tech Connection Call:
> Folk Tech is a movement among people who want to develop apps for their community without depending on big tech companies and a community of developers making decentralized, p2p, open source, open standard-based tech
Featuring an interview with @mauve!
@ellyxir Yeah I'm not 100% sure but at the very least I'm remembering more of the weird ones. Mine have also been pretty surreal historically. One fun thing is I'm actually playing the role of "myself" in the dreams more often.
This is not limited to devs, either; infosec has the same issue - and has had, for years.
This shit is why I keep pushing for unionization; management is fundamentally incapable of understanding this systemic issue.
Something in the MBA mindset removes the ability to comprehend systemic workforce logistics; they end up assuming "someone else" will do the training.
That's gone now.
Your company will need to learn to invest in juniors to teach them how to be seniors, or you will not have any more seniors, period.
@vincentpants FWIW you can use the twiddler wired too :P
What were your vim issues? I'm finding decent success building my sortcut muscle memory so far
@il_Lost_ Right, I was gonna look at the family plans for that.
@cblgh ty. It's very hard. 🥲 TBH the sugar parts of my preferred beverages has been the hardest part to quit.
Me at 11 PM since I stopped caffeine.
@atax1a I feel you. This is why I've been wanting to make a web browser impl which uses native UI only, with minimal styling for layout so that more stuff could be left to the OS and user agent.
web apps piss me off when they break because it's always due to the devs being too clever and trying to implement things in JS that work fine using the built in features. E.g. modals and forms.
To be totally for real I blame designers trying to make every generic web app look like a grad project and hijacking scroll functionality instead of just making it work.
@vincentpants So far I'm finding it to be a great replacement for my phone keyboard. I already use weird input devices a lot so it feels natural. Way more reliable than the Tap Strap 2 which was my previous chorded keyboard. Still need to do some coding 😅 Do you still use it? My main input device is my GPD Win 4, for comparison
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Yap with me and send me cool links relating to my interests. 👍
