My recent Hackernoon deep dive into carbon aware computing (and its perils) has been trending for a week in the top 4-17 most read articles among 4 million monthly readers!

Awesome to see such environmental interest among devs! Would love any feedback.

Today marks a day that changed my life. Again and again. It happened 40 years ago exactly. This week, it changed my life again. This is the story. Indeed, #OurStoryIsOne.

[Ismael Velasco @IsmaelVelasco]

#OurStoryIsOne
Today was a painful, hopeful and deeply meaningful day for me: exactly 40 years ago, June 18 1983, 10 Bahá'í women were executed in Iran, hanged in a public square. the youngest, Mona, was 17.

@philsturgeon @getpostman @akrabat Good read! I take it Stoplight is the screwdriver here? I've only superficially played with it a while ago, so wondered when you personally preferred it over postman in your own use cases, or whether the overlap was such that the decision was mostly aesthetic?

[Ismael Velasco @DevOnAJourney]

Deciding whether to invest in @getpostman for our API ops (openapi/asyncapi/graphql via AWS). It's the tool I know best: powerful, versatile and helps the API community. Zero green awareness is a big downside for me.

Is Postman your tool of choice?
Cc. @philsturgeon @akrabat

[Ismael Velasco @DevOnAJourney]

@JustSteveKing @getpostman @philsturgeon @akrabat @treblleapi Interesting! I had not come across it. Looks like a brilliant API analytics tool. I am more focused at the moment on the building and collaboration stage, but I will bear @treblleapi in mind as and when the API expands. Ta!

[Ismael Velasco @DevOnAJourney]

@philsturgeon @getpostman @akrabat When do you use Stoplight and when Postman? If you were told you could only use one for the next 3 years, which would you choose and why?

[Ismael Velasco @DevOnAJourney]

@philsturgeon @getpostman @akrabat Hope you get traction! Tried to raise the subject without success. Looked at all their annual reports, public docs and media: can't find a single use of the word "sustainability", not one. Pity, because @getpostman could lead the greening of the entire ecosystem with huge impact.

Can we green Web3 and #blockchain technologies? A prerequisite is to be able to measure their CO2 emissions in a transparent, credible and ideally trustless way.

I'm proud to join this groundbreaking #sustainability round table hosted by the Internet Computer to explore this.

This joins only a handful of tools that I know of that do static analysis of code's environmental impact. Has anyone tried it? https://t.co/tUlSgOoxRM

GPT-3 based browser automation in PHP 🔥

You can provide an objective, such as:
"Buy a Laracon EU ticket"
"Find and buy a Playstation 5"

And GPT-3 + @laravelphp Dusk will run on autopilot, browsing the web to complete the task.
