Seeing some extremely terrible takes (i.e., feelpinions) which lack evidence, and it's adding more confusion to a very fragile moment.
A totally valid and justified option right now would be to just STFU and just show care, support, solidarity and empathy to those most affected around us.

You can build great solutions 🚀 but can you repeat it? @simoneb.bsky.social at #DDDAdelaide 2025 shows how to make the whole process repeatable: pipelines, code, templates, doco, backlogs 🔧 Work faster, cheaper, and go to bed on time 😴✨

Long weekend here. Rode my bike a few times, went for a swim, signed up to get a boat license, cooked yummy food, planted herbs, hung some pictures, fixed my coffee machine, played some music, did some yoga, at pancakes. Did not get involved in social media navelgazing and bluesky drama. ✅
