I had a great conversation with Carl and Richard about the Open Source Maintenance Fee: opensourcemaintenancefee.org. I really appreciate how supportive and genuinely interested they are in getting more sustainability ideas out into the world. I'll write up more when I get some time

Haven't seen this meme in a while. This was normalized by Windows a long time ago (there are limitations). I do wonder exactly what the push back is this time. :)

Wait, there are actually people who call themselves "Computer Scientists". I mean, I have a CS degree, but I've never called myself a Scientist. Not seriously, anyway. 😜

OMG! This is seriously great. Why didn't I think to look in Options > Save before?

We're obvious fans of the Wix Toolset and excited to sponsor its Open Source Maintenance Fee and learn from how Rob Mensching is continuing to take this project forward [ opensourcemaintenancefee.org ]

Open Source Maintenance Fee Two Months In robmensching.com/blog/posts/202…

What disappoints me about these YouTubers is that they happily promoted these Open Source Projects as long as they were completely free (as in $0). Thus they reinforce a culture that something is bad unless it is available for $0. All the while, they make $ talking about it. :(

I've seen this a few times: "huge win for open source". What does that mean? Look, Open Source already won. It doesn't need more validation. What Open Source needs is sustainability. If projects had a path to long term success, well that would be quite the Win.

Deployment Dojo S2:E1 replay available! Stef reviewed, so if you watched Episode 1 live, a review before Episode 2 is worth it. :) Also, our content schedule at FireGiant is in the blog post. Something is happening every week on the Wednesday.

Deployment Dojo Season 2 Episode 2 is tomorrow at 10:30 AM PDT on the FireGiant YouTube Channel youtube.com/@firegiantco If you missed Episode 1, here is a 20s summary. Watch the full reply on our channel.

This is a surprisingly good write up about Section 174. We survived the initial hit at FireGiant but it was very, very painful. It still hurts but we're getting close to the 5 year schedule. I should've recognized how it'd turn into layoffs elsewhere. qz.com/tech-layoffs-t…

We're only two episodes in, and I feel like we're already back in the groove with season 2 of the Deployment Dojo! Learn tons about MSBuild targets in this episode. Oh, and the FireGiant Cinematic Universe expanded, too.

Interesting. After a quick review of the issue, I think this adds credence to our yearly cadence for the WiX Toolset.

Funnily, designing features with AI chat is the first time I've felt that typing speed actually matters.

Does anyone know of any _total beginner_ programming content? I'm mostly finding garbage or content that isn't beginner enough. I don't really have the time to start another YouTube channel myself.
