Good morning, insomnia, (-)
Good morning mastodon. Last night was one of those nights where I don't know if I actually slept or not so I could either be to tired to hate myself or hating myself was caused by me being tired.

"Software Disenchantment" by Nikita Prokopov http://tonsky.me/blog/disenchantment/
Somewhat ranty but interesting piece on how "good enough" seems to dominate in the software industry. I can definitely share some of the frustration with how bloated and inefficient everything tends to be.

Code of conduct
For quite a few years, I was a member of a hackerspace in DC.
In 2012 or 2013, we voted to institute a code of conduct. It passed handily, 2/3 to 1/3.
That last third pitched a fit in the meeting, resigned, threw their keys on the table, and walked out. That was maybe 30 people
The rest of us threw a party after the door slammed.

My friend @ulvra: "I know you and I don't fit in the working world, so I think of how we could make it work still."
My parents: "We want you to get a job. We don't care if you even like it or it ruins your life forever. Just get a job, because we want the best for you"
