I need to get out of my workplace ASAP. Leads on decent workplaces with suitable positions are appreciated. I no longer feel psychologically safe.
I'm open to junior level SWE/SRE, FOSS journalism, and to a lesser degree technical writing. I work for <large_tech_company> as a TW. CompSci background.
I've recognised that I need this lifeboat. My mental wellbeing has been declining for a very long time with work being the source.
Any help appreciated.
We at @mainmatter have been long-term active members and contributors to the #emberjs community.
Now we're expanding into #svelte. Why do we do that and what does it mean for our involvement with Ember?

Alright it's that time again...
Tell me about a thing you own, under $50, that has noticeably improved your quality of life in some small way. Some small stupid thing that now you use all the time.
It's gift time and I never have ideas. Hopefully this will help other people too if it gets some good answers.
Surprising fact: no major professional scientific organization has flipped from a paywalled publishing model to 100% Open Access.
The @ACM the world's foremost professional computing organization, is going to be the first on January 1, 2026, when its entire digital library will become freely available to the public.
The word "excellent" is derived from the Christian practice of giving up the use of Microsoft Excel for 40 days to commemorate Christ's sacrifice.
It is a period of great productivity.
The date of lent is calculated by using an obscure Excel macro on a field that didn't originally have anything to do with dates, but Excel converted it to one anyway.
Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:
A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.
Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply *more likely to file bugs*.
Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA
I genuinely feel like #Protomaps is not nearly getting the attention it deserves
We can drop a single file on a static host and get stylable vector maps? Magic ✨
In combination with Maplibre it's a game changer for 99% of web map use cases 👏
