Most SWE job descriptions are written to target people with a narrow set of skills and a promise of no autonomy in development direction. IOW, they are written to target fungible engineers, and unfortunately, this is rarely dishonest. If you're ready to work on the software equivalent of a factory assembly line, then this is the job for you!
Couple this with the fact that most SW orgs have no idea how efficient they are, and you get a quagmire job with quicksand. Move on or drown.
Come into work today and find out IT has taken down all the build servers. They are a vital part of our official dev process, so it's a good day to work to rule. :-D

Hello toot friends, I bring #antiLawn memes.
I'm hoping to radicalise you all against the boring monoculture lawn and turn you into biodiversity defenders.

Other than maybe #Pleroma or #WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin, are there any other #Fediverse projects that support multiple post types/kinds/objects so that one could have *one* Fediverse home instead of 10?: http://stream.boffosocko.com/2022/other-than-maybe-pleroma-or-wordpress-with-the-activitypub-plugin

In France, over a million people have opened a "solidarity economy savings account" that invests in solidarity enterprises, many of which are cooperatives. The popularity of the accounts is booming.
Here is my article about this promising phenomenon - it is an issue of a weekly newsletter that covers existing success stories & exciting new ideas about the future of the cooperative movement.
Consider subscribing, every new subscriber makes me very happy :)

Big shout out to our dev teams. Thanks to their efforts, we have a free software mobile platform and vibrant third party app ecosystem based on the GNOME stack. And because
we are upstreaming improvements the GNOME experience on desktop has gotten much better at the same time! Read more by @tbernard https://puri.sm/posts/how-to-be-upstream-first/

When we created ODF 20+ years ago, Microsoft first laughed at the committee at OASIS, then made OOXML to render it moot, then rigged ISO to make OOXML a standard, then implemented ODF and now participates in the ODF committee and helps fund its work through COSM.
#Bluesky is Twitter's OOXML to #ActivityPub and it's at the "rigging ISO" stage.

One of the most important feature requests we've heard from you is "WHERE THE HECK IS MY #THUNDERBIRD MOBILE APP?"
Here's a straight answer:
YES, we're excited to announce that an Android version of Thunderbird is coming!
We'll have more details to share with you in a few weeks. We'll talk to you about it here, and over on our blog at https://blog.thunderbird.net.

MyCoolClass is a #platformcoop owned by the teachers to facilitate online teaching.
It that has a crowdfunding campaign that seeks investors. People from outside the UK can invest too - the platform is global, with teachers using it around the world.
I am not involved with it but have invested £200 and warmly suggest you do the same, retoots also appreciated :)

Tell your young people not to give their spare energy to employed work. Their employers will take it if they give it but all that happens is the young folk burn out. Teach them “no” and “pay me”
I love Star Wars ('77); hate the franchise.
Coding tests never tell you much about a job candidate. They are about as useless as asking the applicant to tell you about a project they were proud of (like they gave birth to a baby, instead of just doing a job).

Means-testing (i.e. "prove you're poor before we'll help you") has always been about denying help to those who need it, not keeping out those who don't. Demand concrete, universal, material benefits from your congresscritters today.
