@Tarah I adopted this idea of rewards vs punishment doing some contract work for a company. Punishment only discourages reporting when somebody accidentally clicks something they should not. The IT folks started handing out Starbucks cards for small acts of good behavior and quit punishing accidents. Everybody won.
Frog and Toad Bot“But there is one thing that I can do all by myself.”
“What is that?” asked Frog.
“I can go home,” said Toad. “Winter may be beautiful, but bed is much better.”

@siliconshecky @hacks4pancakes yes! I got caught in the crossfire of an OSINT CTF that was a great idea, well executed, but didn't benefit from having someone with experience to share "things to plan for". Which would probably have included warning someone (me) that some of my public info was part of the CTF. Caused me great consternation for a few hours while I figured out wtf was going on. Then I thought it was funny. Then I volunteered to provide them a little guidance.
@strap @hacks4pancakes and the danger in this attitude is vast. Nearly every after-action I've written or read related to a worst case scenario involved a junior person being ignored when they pointed out a fatal flaw. And then the org, or worse, the community, pays a horrible price.
@ohmu @hacks4pancakes sounds familiar. It's super hard to balance the connections that long-time folks have with the need for new folks to join the space. One org I'm affiliated with still has a number of people who don't have email. And there's a loud chunk of people who want to cater to that. Sometimes I just yell at the wall, explain it all to the cat, and move forward as best I can . . .
@hacks4pancakes this is important. I see it in other spaces too. I think part of the fix is to invite the next generation to the planning table in ways they can actually do so. Then actually listen to them and incorporate their ideas.
The ways that people engage and volunteer have changed. I'm watching some organizations die because they won't change.
"Hi, please consider volunteering a shit ton of hours in addition to raising your family, building your career, trying to buy a house, etc." isn't the answer. Meaningful bite size chunks is.
I struggle with this as a professor too. I'm old. I know I'm old. I know they know I'm old. And now I'm rambling. But it's a problem that does need fixing.
@thegibson does this mean the move is finally happening??
I'm responsible for a 3 year old today. So naturally we got up and had hot cocoa and chocolate bars for our breakfast appetizer. Now on to bacon and pancakes.
