Following the stampede, I now have a Mastodon account at https://t.co/KdG2AXbcJL (@[email protected])

I'm staying on Twitter (assuming Twitter stays with us), but will try crossposting.

On my To Do list for next week is to resuscitate the dormant TDD Bay Area group with a rename to BayXP (even though it'll be remote for a while) and thinking about who to invite.

If you've got ideas, let me hear them!

My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user"

Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby

@AnnaVidot A lot of tech folks have found refuge on Mastodon. I've been able to pretty much replicate and improve my experience over there. I appreciate that not all communities can make a jump like that, though.

@sleepyfox @tom_a_r_johnson Sadly this fizzled out - so Virtual XTC is still searching for someone to take over!

Those who are truly self aware are hardest to offend cause you rarely provide them any information which they haven’t known about themselves.

Offense is usually felt when your belief and truth has some distance in it which you want to avoid facing and someone pricks the bubble.

7 things all kids need to hear

1 I love you

2 I'm proud of you

3 I'm sorry

4 I forgive you

5 I'm listening

6 RAID is not backup. Make offsite backups. Verify backup. Find out restore time. Otherwise, you got what we call Schrödinger backup

7 You've got what it takes

Wrote a blog on why AWS never dove seriously into blockchain. Features groovy pix from a trip to New York, which is part of the story: https://t.co/cDKVRcv3T2

Agile, if allowed far enough upstream, can make for a complete strategy reframe. It is often however reduced to some notion of tactical efficiency, which frankly robs it of most of its value.

[Katy 🐭✨🇬🇧 @KatyCodesStuff]

Never underestimate the impact you have as a more senior member of a team. How you act will influence others. Take your holiday, take sick days, be polite, help others. It's really quite simple.
