A new post, and my first in a little while (I've been sick and burnt out). This one's about the contempt for materiality that elites have, and why we need to pay attention to the world we're actually in.

Coding in a material world | deadSimpleTech

The common ideological kernel of all of this behaviour is a deeply embedded trope in anglosphere societies: a contempt for materiality, or the idea that the material world that we eat, sleep, drink, fuck and die in is somehow beneath the notice or the care of sufficiently important people.

If you’re using Emacs on a Mac, do yourself a favor and fix its font rendering:

defaults write org.gnu.Emacs AppleFontSmoothing -int 0

("queer elder" in bio voice) i know you trans people make a big deal out of "bodily autonomy" but it's really irresponsible to ignore the fact that if you're on ANY kind of hormone therapy and you read Aisling Fawn posts it will cause the hormones to chemically transform into organ explosion juice. it's really scary how much ignorance there is about this.
@hipsterelectron This this this. 👆 It's complicated by the fact that there are some situations where the developer *is* the user. DX-centric tools are appropriate for these settings. Non trained programmers making spreadsheets or small databases or whatever for their business logic or personal use. The problem is applying these things in settings where you're deploying software to a userbase whose needs should be primary and for whom you should have skilled programmers working to meet their needs.
@dalias well i think developer experience is useful but it should never ever conflict or compete with user experience. developer experience can be considered as a user experience (particularly regarding autonomy and control) since the software is only written once but "read" (used) many many times it's very important to take pains to improve user experience over optimizing for writing
