It’s @popey.me at #MonkiGras talking about how resistance to progress can be *productive and valuable* when applied thoughtfully and constructively - the Luddites were asking some legitimate questions!

“Written context democratises knowledge” @luxas.dev #MonkiGras

💯

Documentation is scaling for knowledge - if it’s written down, people can easily read and learn

Yes spoken knowledge transfer is great but it’s less accessible and more resource intensive

My takeaways from
@miketheman.com’s #MonkiGras talk:

1️⃣ Everyone uses #opensource, and few maintain it, but its importance cannot be underestimated
2️⃣ Volunteering opens doors, sometimes ones you don’t anticipate

Really insightful #monkigras talk from Alex Chan on building software systems that last. 3 key takeaways.
