Looking at his LinkedIn profile, he seems to be the MBA type, with little to no technical experience. For the past year he's been the SVP or GM of Firefox, whatever that means. Take that as you will...

His one technical skill is building PowerPoint decks...

Why? It's his website, he can put what he likes on it. Your rational is...?

This is something that actually drives me a way from using "a thing" - that some team post something "open source" - but in reality it's a product and there's a pricing tab on the website.

I think we've overloaded the term for sure. I'd prefer honesty - "hey we have a new product/service/platform! We've opened up our customer tooling source code and made it free and available for anyone to contribute too"

To me releasing open-source to specifically try get people to sign up to a paid product is a sales tool.

Built an easy-to-use tool to help devs and small teams create high quality designer-grade app icons.

Just describe your app, browse and select from different visual directions, the tool handles the rest, includes advanced controls and editing options for pro users

Try it out!

Looks like the SSL is incorrectly deployed as I'm getting a net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID that is refusing any access

Yes? At least this is what I've found. The only major social media account I have now is my Mastodon account. Not using X/BlueSky/Threads - I find I have more time to myself - my book count this last year has gone from near-zero to at least one book a month now.

There's really not much else to leak, a lot was already being published. I've prepared a uni exam of ethics in it about chat control and I was so angry and felt so disempowered when writing it

It's not that I want to avoid the career metagame (I would argue I haven't so far) but that the career metagame is different depending on your environment.

This - I've been very honest with my manager that I won't play "the game" in this organisation - I don't really have to, there is plenty for staff engineers to tackle to have a long career without the yoke of management.

This article resonated a lot with me - I have a 25+ year career and until my most recent role I'd usually switch companies every 2 years.

My current company I'm now on year 4, and 3rd year leading a team building an internal platform for the business - for me it is a dream role - management mostly stay out the way, strategy comes from top down but our team make all the decisions, and after a slow start it's now paying off with several teams using us and helping drive through real requirements, and not the imagined ones from a few execs.

This has lead to constant positive feedback from all of our 'customers' who would never have been able to consider running their own content delivery pipelines - we're solving their real problems. Regardless of any politics, this is what gives me the energy to turn up every day.

I've found glasses like these work well (https://www.amazon.nl/Antireflectie-Gepolariseerde-autorijde...) - if I drive in Germany I can't do without them - they really help block the glare without making it unsafe to drive.

I'm a 44 year old man and I would love this - for years I've tried to dabble with music with much lack of success - but this looks really fun to play with. Great job.
