​> 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!

"Let us be the repository of your passkeys" and "We may terminate your account at any time and permanently refuse to communicate with you" ... seems like a bad combination?

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.

I was reminded of this excellent post

People talk a lot about "inbox zero." I am far more gratified by achieving laundry hamper zero.

Is it me or are major internet platform outages getting more frequent? I used to instinctively reboot my router, now I just assume it's the platform. GitHub broke for me this morning, now LinkedIn is offline. Reddit and Twitter feel like they go down twice a week. Meanwhile all these companies are bragging about layoffs because they've "become more efficient with AI". Like, dawg, you can't even keep your website online.
