    Silicon Valley doesn’t need to cuddle its bigots out of fear they won’t shit out another unicorn turd. It needs to embrace the responsibilities of running a major part of the world economy, and do so with decency, empathy, and ethics.

    Ok look, I never link these myself but this one I just like as proof that (very) occasionally it’s worth including details of things users won’t have ever noticed. Because, tbh, software is really fucking ridiculous.

    They all love to pick "diversity" as their "PC evil" of choice. And I'll give them that: calling these problems "diversity" problems is pretty inaccurate. Instead let's call it what it really is: workplace discrimination based on gender and race. Which is - SURPRISE - illegal.

    You'd think that hearing all of the stories that have come out this year about how women are systematically raped, harassed, and discriminated out of the workforce would be a wake up call, but no, men are still whining about how "not being PC" gets a few men fired each year.

    I ran my first deploy to Amazon's Fargate — it worked, but I'd been hoping for something ... simpler. Despite Docker, containers, and Kubernetes, the world is still looking for a deployment and operational experience on par with Heroku in mid-2011. There's lots of room to grow.
