Talking about devex flywheel with open source at open source summit na 2026 - @jerdog.dev

Jeremy on stage with slides. Line 1: "what is a flywheel?" Line 2: "metaphorically in community" line 3: "a self-reinforcing loop or cycle that, once set in motion, gains momentum and drives continuous growth and improvement"

Jeremy on stage with slides. Title: "Developer Experience (DevEx)" then a quote from Jessica West: "... The journey of developers as they learn and deploy technology, which if successful, focuses on eliminating obstacles that hinder a developer or practitioner from achieving success in their endeavors."

The Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is senseless & dangerous. It would weaken weather forecasting, climate research, & the science that keeps people safe. We urge that this plan be abandoned. Call Congress to #SaveNCAR today. buff.ly/7ka1BQA

Save NCAR from being dismantled today!

The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

NCAR is foundational scientific infrastructure. This is escalating the assault on climate science, and there is a direct line between this step and the loss of many human lives.

Climate denialism, empowered by nihilists and know-nothings, undermining science & destroying the evidence that they previously just rejected. Meanwhile, out here in WA, roads are sliding into rivers (an unprecedented weather event) b/c it’s too damn warm to be raining this hard for this long.

Key misunderstanding I want to get ahead of: NCAR isn't really a government agency like NIH or NSF. It's one of the largest NSF grants in history, and is given to a non-profit org called UCAR, whose job is to make NCAR exist (www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/...). That means the buck stops with NSF right now

Does anyone know of a good writeup/course/presentation/etc. for contract negotiations for community-run events like volunteer-led conferences? I'd love to pass it along to various groups I volunteer with (and learn myself) as we get into sponsor contract negotiation season for the coming year.

So I've had this idea bumping around in my brain forever, and I came across a few posts about gerrymandered districts that made me want to toss this out: What if the law was all districts must be a regular geometric shape such that each state picks one? E.g., state A picks hexagons. Stupid thought?

I think it's also worth remembering for times ahead that resistance and assistance come in a lot of different forms, not all of them overt and public. In my own life, I send money for things I, for whatever reason, don't talk about publicly, because I've determined that's the best way to be useful.

HOW TO TRANSITION FROM TWITTER TO BLUESKY!! (Another image because alt text couldn’t fit it all)

I have mine set to 2 likes, so if any reply gets more than 2 likes, it shows up on my feed. This has nothing to do with replies to your own posts, you'll see those anyway in your notifications.
Block often. Don't interact with trolls, don't quote dunk, comment, nothing.
Let them rot in silence, just block them. This is the Bsky way.
Likes on reposts do not trigger notifications. If you only repost stuff, it might look super quiet even if people are liking what you repost. Try more regular posts or quotes! (quotes do trigger like notifications).
It takes fime to rebuild, and that is fine, but the best time to do it is right now.
Twitter is only gonna get worse.With only 10% of the followers in Bsky, most of us end up having twice as many interactions. Fewer bots, more people who care, no more playing for a racist algorithm

Do you post photos/video here? You should "subscribe" to this list that auto-blocks content scraping accounts that steal content and regularly post it without credit. The fewer eyes they have on them, the less power they have (and thus the more original content we'll see). bsky.app/profile/did:...
