"In 1980, 26.5% of German social democrat parliamentarians had held formal roles with a trade union, but by 1994 this had reduced by half... parliamentarians who held a formal role with the youth wing of the party amounted to 51% in 2017 – up from 13% in the early 1990s."

@byllgrim@mastodon.xyz How do you know you have something to work on?
Work is always done to address a problem. What is the problem? What is needed to solve the problem?
Important topics in social media.

If Bernie isn't the Democratic nominee, I hope he runs as an independent (I doubt he will), because Trump isn't the enemy that needs to be defeated.
Nice essay; too bad Dvorak missteps at the end with his talk of rioting being bad for the Democrats. This take is based on old methods of information sharing (what the media presents; what the publishers allow to be printed; what local governments allow in the libraries).
The anarchists in the Haymarket riots would have much more public support in an internet age.
Of course, it's hard to blame them. The software development world continues to treat software as magic, not science, so there's no empirical evidence pointing toward the best development methods.
Software managers and their bosses never like to hear that the best answer is to start over, so they'll ignore such advice in favor of slipped schedules, undelivered promises, and unmaintainable software; then in ten years, they'll start over, often after the people wise enough to suggest it are long gone. #failureloop
Most of the software developers I've met who've embraced scrum are the same ones who think coding in 3GL is cool and software is an art and/or a craft.
...or...they're destined for management.
I've worked for both small companies and big companies. While it's easier to be a VIP in a small company, it's much easier to develop new interests in a big company.
In both cases you have to navigate entrenched bastions of mediocrity. In a small company, you might become stuck behind one; in a big company, you have more room to manuever around one, but there's many more to discover.
@byllgrim@mastodon.xyz Does the company present their real values, or the values they advertise? Too #cynical?

Voter suppression benefiting the DNC as much as the GOP. Do you really think the DNC will be in a hurry to fix it?

While even those who benefit the most from conventional corporations are turning against them, the cooperative sector is expanding rapidly.
Will this counter-economy reach a critical mass to replace modern capitalism?
