Every time I’m in my home country I am reminded that software should be built so it works with slow and flaky internet connection in mind and that we should consider bandwidth as a scarce resource #smalltech #SmallWeb
I’m not a fan of performance reviews even if I’ve always done well in them. And in the last few years I’ve seen more companies start using “auto-evaluations” which I find even worse. I find them to be such BS.

“A female colleague and [I] had dared to discuss wage transparency and gender pay gap in the office … Unfortunately we miscalculated – our boss Matthias was beyond furious. After that office meeting, he told my colleague ‘there will be consequences.’ … I want to expose the hypocrisy and double standards in FSFE leadership. How the organisation ‘promoting’ transparency, equality and inclusivity treats employees and more specifically women.”

new article on #lowtech magazine that I'm sure will resonate with a lot of folks here:
'How and why I stopped buying new laptops'

PCR test came back negative 🎉
Finding the right songs for a trip is always the hardest part 😅
Setting up a temporary #Android device for an upcoming trip. Two minutes using it and I've already seen a handful of ads. There are so many good things about this platform but it all goes to hell because of Google, I mean the ads.

My take on this is that while they actually want better code, they know they are evaluated by productivity i.e. how many tasks they finish and to reduce this gap, you’d need to change the evaluation system.
I’m always confused by what dev teams demand and how they work. During meetings almost everyone will agree they want to improve code quality, some are vocal and demand linting, test coverage and review processes. On practice however, most are trying to either cheat the linter, avoid adding tests or feel annoyed by the review process. How do you deal with this?

How much funding did you take? $0
What's your marketing budget then? $0
You must have a great sales strategy? We don't do sales
You must use tons of sneaky website elements to trick people? None
You can grow without being annoying and without supporting the adtech.
Finally giving Mandelorian a chance
We need a culture and economy that rewards companies and workers for simplification and tuning as much as for adding new features.
