So did I mention that no company or government pays me for the work I do?

But you can support my work if you want to live in a world where we have the Small Web as an alternative to the Big Web of Google, Facebook, and other people farmers.

So Meta (Facebook/Instagram) want to get into the Mastodon space.

Will it work? Will people prefer that certain-to-be-unfederated federation?

Here's a Reddit screenshot that is an interesting take on where things are with Mastodon and concerns moving forward.

Oh look, Google being Google.

(In case you were thinking of learning/using Go, I’d say skip it. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Unless you like telemetry by default in your programming languages and tools, that is. In fact, just don’t touch anything tainted by Google if you can help it.)

So there's a super interesting (IMO) thread on birdsite where Scott Hanselman asks younger/newer devs whether or not they enjoy diving deep into low level code or if that's just something we olds do. Overwhelming response?

"Yup. It's for olds".

I have so many feels about this. On the one hand, it makes me sad. On the other, maybe it's an understandable evolution of the field since we're just freaking DROWNING in architectural complexity?

On the other, what does it mean if we have an up and coming generation of developers who not only don't know how but don't WANT to know how to pull back the curtain and dive deep?
