Hello Fediverse.

I'm looking for a co-founder/conspirator-in-arms!

If you're a member of a diversity minority who is under-represented or systemically disadvantaged in STEM, and would like to get involved in an "access to knowledge" project to try to help fix that, or know someone who does, please get in touch with me privately here, or via email (same as my fedi handle) to know more!

Please share/repost/boost liberally!

Wrote a little homily. Please share/boost so I can connect with other people who care about this.

TLDR;

Software can't remain operating like a cottage industry with "no liability" licenses. We need laws and processes (my hustle is called "D3") which have some measure of guarantee of function.

"For architects, it takes off the burden of having to rely on their memory and random tests and bespoke models to keep state. For engineers, it provides a clear "source of truth" and a process based mechanism to verify their implementation based on this source. And for project managers, there's much better visibility over the entire QA, analogous to but much more powerful than a simple TDD style development process. "

In our topsy turvy world, I have to reshuffle the bald old man's quote:

"The whole world is going blind because we take an eye for an eye."

Hamas murdering innocent young people is not going to do their cause any good. Israel murdering them back and calling them "human animals" is not going to bring back the murdered people by murdering more people.

Replace that with any pair of blood feud groups you like - and this is only going to get worse, as the real problem - climate change is happening, and we're like a bunch of rats fighting each other on a sinking ship.

Maybe humanity deserves to go extinct.
