After a life-changing journey building the Developer Success Lab at Pluralsight, the difficult decision was made that it's time to wind the lab down and part ways. When I came to Pluralsight, I pitched a moonshot idea: What if we did high-quality empirical science for software teams, in the open, and changed the landscape of how developers and organizations understand themselves? Pluralsight believed in me and my vision, and the adventure started. Building the Developer Success Lab from zero into a world-class research organization will forever remain one of the greatest highlights of my career. It wasn't easy, but every day proved that the impact we were having was industry-changing and necessary. Across the conversations, research and stories, our lab played a pivotal role in creating positive change and new understanding in the rapidly evolving Developer Experience space. To say that I am proud of my team would be an understatement. I'm in awe of the impact we had; truly, I believe it's impact that will continue to be felt for generations. With guts, heart, and rigorously compassionate science, we launched research that brought tens of thousands of technologists’ stories into the light and broke ground on crucial mechanisms for software team success. To my phenomenal colleagues who were impacted: my heart is with you. These moments are bittersweet, because even as we remember all we accomplished, the reality of the situation is difficult to hold. It was an honor and a privilege to lead you and watch you grow into a tremendous world-class team. I know wherever you go, and whatever you do, you'll continue to go forth and achieve great things. And finally, to you. To the incredible community of developers, technologists, leaders and managers. Most of all, to every participant who trusted me with your experience. I have always seen you as our partners and co-scientists, our most important community. In the beginning I told my team, “We will know we are doing it right when the developers tell us we are doing it right.” How you have lived up to that hope! It is because you shared our work, told your organizations it was important, and came into community with us that this lab was possible. It’s not an exaggeration to say that you have changed my life. Never doubt your humanity. We really magicked up some science together. While the Lab may not be able to continue, my story is nowhere near done. If anything, it's just beginning. In one of the first talks I gave on our Developer Thriving work I made a bold promise: “What could you do with a psychologist for software teams? Now you have one.” I'm excited to see what lies ahead, and I have ambitious goals. If you're curious to learn more about them, please reach out! But for now, I'm looking forward to reflecting, resting, and time with family and friends. PS: If you're looking to hire world class talent, I know some brilliant people looking for work now. I would love to connect you to them.

老媽說紫蘇好像有去除體內濕氣的功效，拔了他的小花園牌紫蘇葉來泡茶w
原來紫蘇茶也是加了檸檬汁會變色
我加了蜂蜜跟檸檬🍋，變成粉紅色的飲料www

我沒有很喜歡紫蘇的香味，但如果真的有功效的話，這樣子涼涼香香消暑的飲料還是ok喝啦～

The main problem with hiring a dedicated security researcher for the curl project is that we have no room for a 3rd helipad on the curl super-yacht.

Maybe we need to accelerate our plans for the project's aircraft carrier. The Anti-AI missile system still has some teething problems, though.💁🏻‍♂️

RE: mastodon.social/@reiver/114467

An update on the short-form documentary series I am working on with @Soel79 and @ShinComicsShin

Myself, @Soel79 , and @ShinComicsShin are also characters in this animation.

Shin drew a rough sketch of another version of the anime version of @Soel79

For the previous iteration of this character, see here:

mastodon.social/@reiver/114314

The previous version had more of a "cute" look. This is going for more of a realistic look.

Frpol, the alt-right playbook, où on en est et où on va

La Rive Sud de Rubicon est la vidéo de la série The Alt-Right Playbook qui m'a le plus impactée.

Je pourrais faire la liste de toutes les idées que cette vidéo m'a permis de formuler concrètement, mais le truc qui m'a le plus fait réfléchir, c'est le fait que j'avais déjà franchi mon rubicon depuis longtemps : lorsque darmanin a sorti à lepen, durant un débat télévisé qu'elle était trop molle sur l'immigration.

Et depuis, les choses n'ont fait qu'empirer. La repression constante et violente, la banalisation du nationalisme, de l'islamophobie et des discours réactionnaires en général, les attaques croissantes contre les mouvements et assos activistes, la désintégration des structures et procédures gouvernementales au profit du pouvoir présidentiel...

D'ailleurs parlons-en un peu parce que ça a été tellement banalisé que j'ai envie de crier. Macron a ignoré le résultat des législatives que son parti a lamentablement perdu et a élu sa première ministre comme si de rien était, alors que les centristes de meluche, techniquement grands gagnants sont dans une position de plus en plus vulnérable. Et le premier ministre actuel utilise le même discours que le rn. Et j'ai l'impression que ça ne choque pas autant que ça le devrait.

On ne va pas parler du reste des grands partis qui ont tous fait un grand virage à droite (et même les centristes de melanchon et ruffin suivent de loin).

On prend tout ça, on rajoute le fait que macron ne peut pas être réélu (enfin sauf s'il décide que finalement oui il peut le faire) et que son parti est complètement anecdotique sans lui et on arrive à cette conclusion: l'extrême-droite est aux commandes de l'état français depuis des années et en 2027, ça sera probablement concrétisé.

Les élections présidentielles sont dans 2 ans. On ne peut pas se permettre d'attendre pour agir. On est déjà bien à la bourre. Faut se bouger MAINTENANT.

「だんごのたかの」「だんごの美好(三好)」「たかのチェーン」の謎｜ハスつか

【779むすび】たかのチェーン(さいたま新都心)山菜 またまた大きな謎にぶち当たってしまった。 最近、和菓子屋さんのおむすびに注目している。 商店街の中にあるような庶民的な和菓子屋さん。 その中には、和菓子だけでなくおむすびを売っているお店があったりする。 確率で言うと、和菓子屋さん10軒に1軒くらいかな。 そもそもおむすび専門店自体が少ないので、この確率でも期待を持って、和菓子屋さんを探し周ってしまう。 和菓子屋さんを探している中で、謎というか気づいてしまったことがある。 それはたぶんチェーンのお店っぽいのだけど、名前や店構えがバラバラなお店の存在だ。

🎮 From Pac-Man to Nosh Kosh—retro games shaped generations. But many are vanishing.

Only 13% of classic games from 1960–2009 are still available. Some, like Jewish educational games by Yaakov Kirschen, who died on April 14 at 87, were almost lost forever.

Journalist Josh Renaud @kirkmanJosh Renaud explains why preserving niche software matters in the latest essay from the Vanishing Culture report.
