Software development seems to be drifting back to task assignment instead of sign-up. I'd like folks to be aware of the incentives embedded in both models before choosing one. https://geekincentives.substack.com/p/sign-up-versus-assignment
Sign-up Versus Assignment

An Incentives Perspective

Happy New Year Mastodon!

People are like "why use the #favorite button if it doesn't boost it algorithmically?" and it's like, I don't know about any of you, but it makes me feel happy when someone favorite's something I say.

So from my perspective, you have a button whose sole purpose is that when you press it you could make someone feel a little happy.

Why wouldn't you press that button as much as you can?

Here is my user manual:

I boost posts related to .NET to help federate and grow the .NET community on Mastodon.

I will boost a post if:

- it contains a hashtag I follow (e.g. #dotnet #nuget #csharp)

- it @ tagged me.

- you ask me to by replying to the post to boost with something like:
@bot boost this, please!

I will generally only boost original posts, not posts that are replies and not posts from bots.

One of the problems with "10x" hero programmers is that they easily become constraints. The actual fix is to spread their knowledge around, but while that's happening, they have to be relieved of all tasks that get in the way of doing the constraining activity. 6/7
He thought he's great, but Thunberg was Greta!

"By banning some of us, Musk is sending a message to everyone else: Comply with the dictator or lose access. Twitter has become a virtual simulation of authoritarian rule."

"But Musk didn’t build Twitter. We, collectively, turned the bird app into a consequential power. If it remains under the control of a man who sees journalists as enemies, we have a moral responsibility to fly the coop."

I got myself banned from Elon Musk’s Twitter. Why you should, too

Next thing you know, it will be against the rules to mention Tesla’s stock price, criticize the Republican Party or link to stories in legitimate news outlets. We can’t enable this.

Greta Thunberg trolled Andrew Tate so hard he incriminated himself and got arrested. 2022 is ending on a good note.
