It's funny. Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke are two of my favorite scifi writers. The more I learn about Mr. Clarke, the more I respect him. The more I learn about Mr. Asimov, the more I find him an egotistical bore.

My thoughts on the Red Hat Clone Wars

There's been quite a bit of conversation and FUD about what has been termed the Red Hat Clone Wars. For those who are unaware, this is all about a change being made by Red Hat regarding access to the RHEL source code with the specific intent to "handle" the situation with various RHEL clones.

If you are pivoting to #GenerativeAI and don't have an #opensource strategy, then you're screwed.
Do we *really* need to force fit generative AI into *everything*?

I suggest reading (or rereading!) E. M. Forester's amazing and prescient 1909 short story _The Machine Stops_.

I'm surprised and disheartened by what goes for "being an expert" in something nowadays. How can you be an expert in something if you've never done it? It's like someone saying "Yeah, I'm an expert in neurosurgery. Now I've never _done_ neurosurgery, but I've read a lot about it, and have worked with lots of neurosurgeons, so that makes me an expert and someone you should get your advice from"

When did real world experience become no longer a factor?

This seem like it should be a LOT easier, but if so, I can't figure it out.

It's easy to get a list of members of one's NPM org:
$ npm org ls <foo>

But how do you get the _email addresses_ for those account names? Doesn't it seem that that should be pretty easily obtainable??

YES! I will be speaking once again at this year's @allthingsopen 2023 event in Oct. https://2023.allthingsopen.org/round-1-speakers/
Round 1 Speakers - All Things Open 2023

We cannot overstate how much we value speakers that speak at our events. Without them, we wouldn’t have an event – plain and simple. We are elated to announce and publicly say “thank you” to the world-class group of experts and thought leaders included in this year’s first round announcement. Tessa Kriesel Head of Platform...
