reminder:
QA people are your friends, and they have the final or nearly the final say in whether your thing goes out on time. don't make things hard on them, if you can help it.

Doing partial prod builds under controlled conditions for comparison purposes. Cold caches, no shrinkwrap, 3 different package.json in a monorepo-type thing, 1797 dependencies installed, only npm install times shown:

- npm4: 406.01 seconds
- npm5: 60.96 seconds

This is a bit less speedup than what I got excited about yesterday, but still (a bit) more than 6 times faster! 🎆 🍻 ✨

A lot of trans people have mental health issues, but it's not because we're trans. It's largely because of the shit we get from cis people after coming out.

It never seems to end, this constant pressure to continue validating ourselves in the eyes of bigots who can't think of anything aside from what genitals we had at birth. It sucks, and I'm sick of it.

Thanks for the PTSD & bipolar depression, you bigoted assholes.

@aredridel While I personally do feel that I was always a girl (or at the very least never a boy), I think it's destructive how the "born this way" narrative is used to justify being trans. There are many ways of being trans, but the dysphoria is equally painful. Thank you for sharing a different narrative.

Requiring that I erase my past, to present a consistent and current identity to the world is a violence.

I have not always been a woman. My being a woman is complicated. My old name was still my name. My time as young man taught me a lot about being a man in our culture. My time as a woman has taught me a lot about it too, and vice versa.

Who else is writing code? :raised_hands:

boost this toot if hell is gay

boost this toot if capitalism is garbage

let all the tech blogs think this is a failure

websites are garbage

When you design a CoC for your #Mastodon or #GNUSocial instance, remember that you want enough strictness to:

- Kick ESR off if he shows up
- Aggressively ban botters & 4chan
- Shut up the nazi-brigade when they come
- Protect your users from abusive third parties.

This is the kind of book programmers at witches.town read.
