There's a vibe coding thread where developers are having an epiphany: maybe they should keep old versions of their code around, just in case their latest inspired hack turns everything into digital spaghetti.
Congratulations—they've just discovered their first professional software delivery practice: Version control. That's from 1972.
Next week, they'll revolutionize development by inventing "testing" after their app crashes in production. Again.
Looking for quality #marketing communities to learn, grow, and share industry-related news.
LinkedIn just isn’t the place for that. Too many self-proclaimed "thought leaders" focused solely on cranking up visibility.
I just want a space where we can have professional conversations about what’s going on in our craft — without every second post being an obnoxious attempt at self-promotion.
No wonder everyone hates us 😅
I’ve spent years surrounded by brilliant SEO pros, and I feel like that’s given me the curse of knowledge.
Working recently with small and medium businesses reminded me just how stuck in 2012 most SEO understanding still is. Hummingbird? BERT? MUM? It’s like they never happened.
Over the past few months, I feel like I’ve spent more time explaining modern SEO than actually doing it.
Education has become a core SEO skill — and a really tough one to master.
Some dangerous but frequently expressed myths spotted in the media:
Wealth trickles down from the rich.... (it doesn't);
The state is like a household & must therefore 'balance the books'.... (it isn't & doesn't);
The poor have only themselves to blame...(no, poverty is often due to external factors);
The rich got there through hard work.... (no, mostly the rich have either benefitted form inheritance or have, unacknowledged, good luck)....
Just sayin'
Apparently Libre Office is free and contains no AI.
Fediverse is still the most lively social network I have ever used, since MySpace in 2003. It is better than Twitter or any commercial social media platform ever was. Absolutely love being here.
The most profound thing about it is the international coverage. After the first wave of enshittification in 2010, algorithms took over, and suddenly as a polyglot I was labeled as Finnish. No more visible international posts, people only saw the Finnish ones.
I've noticed the same effect in commercial AI. It ignores the fact that I use English online 99% of the time and still replies to me in Finnish despite all instructions. Algorithms and AI label you. They assign you a language, a status, a certain type of person. There's no changing that.
The Fediverse and Mastodon are delightfully mine, yours, and truly open source - respecting privacy. Nobody's machine can tell you, "You are this, and this is why we do that."
Fuck labelers and the fog machines. Let me be me. Here, on my own server, I can embrace my weirdness and post however I want, how often I want, whenever I want, in whatever language I choose - without constantly worrying about how my identity will be perceived by a machine.
