Is there a better way to have a speed dial to relaxed than an old fashioned?

Notice that all of the execs who are deciding that DEI isn't worth it are white. Meaning the people who are in charge and get to decide what's "worth it" are still white and mostly men.

That was part of the point of seeking more diversity. We know what they're gonna do. We need somebody else.

Some of the best code I’ve ever written, paring with @tooky.bsky.social, was made one day a week, over 18 months, with ample space for contemplation in between each weekly session.

We weren’t trying to be (or look) productive, yet 10 years later what we produced was vital to that project’s success.
How do you measure productivity in software?
Should you even measure it?
Hear what #SanderHoogendoorn has to say about it after epiphany from @kentbeck.bsky.social.

I’m not one for regrets, but the whole elf on a shelf thing.

Magic of Christmas == 24 days a year of scrabbling around making up an elf-prank when all you want to do is go to bed.
