Please tell people when you find work they have done to be good.

We just had a client mail and tell us that the spam issue has stopped, and thanks to recent work we did they've just had a booking for 16 people at their project "thank you".

We all perked up so much.

We do good work, but praise or appreciation is _rare_.

If you use Mastodon; please pay for your use. Please.

This is not the corporate web of Twitter and Google. No company is paying for your use of this service. Your use of the service is not being sold to ad companies.

You use it? That is costing your admin owner literal actual money.

Pay for things you like. Or they go away. Or they stay but get taken over by exploitative people that will eventually destroy it.

Please, find your instance owner and pay them some money.

Thanks.

1/2 “My input stream is full of it: Fear and loathing and cheerleading and prognosticating on what generative AI means and whether it’s Good or Bad and what we should be doing. All the channels: Blogs and peer-reviewed papers and social-media posts and business-news stories. So there’s lots of AI angst out there, but this is mine. I think the following is a bit unique because it focuses on cost, working backward from there.”
