Loooooooooong read, but here is a totally wild instance of a lawyer trying to use ChatGPT to write a brief https://www.tumblr.com/carriesthewind/718722289249730560/part-two-my-apologies-for-the-accidental?source=share

Doing some formalising of some mentorship for web developers, and I would like to ask you:

What are the fundamental concepts and foundational skills (not just technical) that a mid level web developer must understand to be solid in their job?

If it helps, the devs in question work mostly with JavaScript, CSS, HTML and Vue.js

We are now three years into the shift from office working to hybrid/home-based and the only strategy commercial property developers have is paying for advertorials bleating about how everyone should work in offices rather than idk pivoting their model.

Capitalism is not a driver of innovation, or they'd have fucking innovated.

Hi folks!

I'm looking for work in digital #accessibility, #UserResearch or DEI consultancy! Based in Sheffield, remote preferred but willing to discuss hybrid https://linkedin.com/in/kitation/

I’m looking for a role that’s people oriented so things like training, talks, workshops; anything where I get to chat to folks about making software more inclusive and accessible. I am also an experienced accessibility tester but don't want that to be the main focus.

In the short term, I am available for doing one off training sessions or talks on accessibility, inclusion and designing for LGBTQ+ folks (see https://kitation.co.uk/talks/ for the kinds of things I like to talk about, happy to create something custom for you)

Best way to contact me is via LinkedIn or DM. Boosts appreciated! #getFediHired

Hi hello I need a new job as I've been without one for a while and it's starting to cause problems and prevent me from doing things I want/need to be able to.

I know D, C# from my previous job, I like to think I'm quite good with Bash in particular, and recently I've started learning Rust and playing with Nix. I've been using Linux for 6-7 years and I've been doing personal sysadmin stuff for 4-5 of those. Also from volunteering I do outside of tech I've got experience in planning and management-adjacent roles.

I'm looking for a fully remote position. This could be in programming (preferably not Windows or web development), perhaps an entry-level Rust position, but also devops and system administration which I've had some interest in for a while. I may also be appropriate for some project management-type roles.

I can provide a CV over DMs on request. I'm trying to find something as soon as possible.

Thank you! #getFediHired

It's May 1st, Labor Day in many places.

A good day to remember that your employer is not your friend and your interests are almost certainly not aligned. They will drop you as soon as your cost exceeds the profit you generate for them.

Yes, even if you have a "cushy" job right now. That only means that your cost-profit ratio right now is in your favour but that can change very fast. It also serves capitalists to make you think you're different/better than other workers so you don't feel solidarity with them.

(and please don't tell me how *your* company is the exception, it probably isn't anyway)

@mekkaokereke @Green_Footballs @seldo I spent a lot of my time in my last few years on Twitter hardening my account against hate movements; if I didn't do it actively the service gradually became unusable.

The problem was only partially preventing those people from interacting with me; a lot of it was also preventing them from *seeing* me or my associates.

Mastodon works for me because those people aren't allowed on here and/or aren't generally allowed to federate with my server.

Our instance is two trans people running a service for many queer trans people.
