Missed @benWerd I/O's keynote at this year's @fediforum? Here's the full transcript. "The opportunity right now isn't to build a better Twitter or to provide a nice place for people who care about Linux to chat: it's to build infrastructure that vulnerable people can actually use to organize, to communicate safely, and to build community. But we can only do that if we're building with those communities from day one, not building for them based on our assumptions about what they need."

You might have seen my performances on shows like The Harry Connick Jr. Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Showtime at The Apollo.

I'm passionate about making technology accessible for blind users and love working with developers to achieve this. A Juilliard graduate, I currently serve as the Minister of Music at New Hope Baptist Church in Hackensack, New Jersey, where I was born and raised.

Beyond music, I enjoy video and audio games, skiing, indoor rock climbing, and bowling. I love spending time with family and exploring new musical and non-musical adventures. Excited to connect with you all here!

The second morning of Django On The Med 🏖️ just finished and it’s amazing how much we achieved together.

Many new ideas and feature proposals came up while working side by side. Sometimes, being together really helps speed up things. 💪

We also had fun breaking the pony-shaped piñata! 🐴 Now it’s time to relax a bit before the afternoon.

Sending our greetings to Wagtail Space 2025 as it’s about to start! 🌍

We had a wonderful evening in Calella de Palafrugell 🌅

A great dinner, good company, and lots of nice conversations ✨

Even though it’s October and off-season, the weather was perfect and the quiet coast made everything even more special 🌊

The local wine chosen by @felixxmMariusz Felisiak was amazing! 🍷

Thanks also to @carltonCarlton Gibson and @judy2k for staying "literally" until the end of the evening. 🌃

요즘 채용 시장을 보면 닷넷의 자리가 줄어든 것처럼 보이지만, 그렇다고 해서 닷넷 기술의 가치가 줄어드는 것은 아닙니다. 실제로 파이썬, 자바 중심의 흐름이 두드러지지만, 닷넷은 여전히 독자적인 강점을 가진 기술입니다.

종종 간과되는 점은, 닷넷 개발자가 닷넷의 멀티/크로스 플랫폼을 아우르는 기술 포트폴리오 덕분에 그 자체로 풀스택 개발자에 가깝다는 사실입니다. 웹, 클라우드, 데스크톱, 모바일, IoT, 웹(웹어셈블리 포함), AI까지 이어지는 폭넓은 기술 스펙트럼에 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 닷넷은 시장에서 쉽게 대체할 수 없는 강점입니다.

특히 닷넷 10의 파일 기반 앱(File-based App)은 비싼 IDE에 의존하지 않고도 텍스트 에디터 하나만으로 애플리케이션을 빌드할 수 있게 해줍니다. 지금처럼 불경기에 빠른 대응이 필요한 시기에, 이러한 역량은 그 어느 때보다 귀합니다.

닷넷 개발자 여러분, 시장의 기울어진 운동장에 주저하기보다는 닷넷 기술이 가진 다양성과 가능성을 더 확산하는 것이 중요합니다. 그리고 그 중심에는 이 기술을 믿고 함께 가는 개발자들의 연대가 있습니다. 그러니 위축되지 않으셨으면 합니다.

그리고 저는 기업들이 변화된 .NET 기술 환경을 다시 한 번 리뷰하고 채용 확대를 검토해 주시길 기대합니다. 이는 개발자와 기업 모두에게 큰 시너지가 될 것이라 믿습니다.

닷넷데브에서도 이런 현황에 대한 논의가 이어지고 있어, 관련 글타래를 함께 공유합니다. 🔗 https://forum.dotnetdev.kr/t/topic/13817

닷넷 채용시장이 더 좁아진 느낌

이직 생각은 없지만 채용 시장 흐름이 궁금해서 채용 관련 사이트(잡코x아, 잡플x닛,블라,링크x인 등) 여러 곳을 둘러보는데요. 중견기업 이상급에서 c#, 닷넷 개발 채용이 확연히 줄거나 거의 없는 느낌입니다. 느낌탓일지, 하반기에는 좀 그런건지 모르겠지만 기술 스택이 원래도 java가 압도적이지만 상반기에 c#, 닷넷 뽑던 채용 항목이 역할은 동일한데 자바로 바뀐것도 보이고요. 100인 내외, 혹은 그 이하 규모의 회사에서는 간혹 c#, 닷넷이 보이긴 하는데 그 마저도 점점 줄어드는 느낌이고요. 물론 python이나 go 뽑는 곳도 상반기 대비 많이 줄거나 안보이는 수준으로 비슷하긴 한데 보다보니 너무 자바만 보여서 그냥 개인적으로 좀 섭섭(?)한 느낌이네요 ㅎㅎㅎ 이러다보니 현재 회사에서도 기술 스택을 바꿔야하나 얘기가 나오고 있고.. 아쉬운 마음에 끄적여봤습니다.

I wish I could be at EuroBSDCon this year, but something else overlapped.
Truth is, I still don’t feel ready to come back ... not in person, and not even virtually in the community space.

That doesn’t mean I’ve stopped caring. Quite the opposite: I still care deeply about FreeBSD, about BSD in general, and about the people who keep it moving forward. That part never left me.

A special thought goes to two people who were there this year. I would have loved to see you, even if I’m not at my brightest right now. 💜

Maybe one day I’ll join back again. For now, I prefer to observe and care from afar.

Lots of hugs 💜 🌷

Mutual Aid Request w/link

I'd hate to waste your time, but I need your help. Actually my wife needs your help.

I've explained a bit of this in a previous pinned post (still on my profile in a set of four)

But basically, my wife is unjustly incarcerated regarding the death of her mother and we need help with bail. And remainder that doesn't reach the target amount or overshoots it will be used for other things, such as bills, mortgage, food, additional legal recourse and such.

She's loving, caring, headstrong and she has worked for a behaviorial health center to help drug addicts get back on her feet. She's far more selfless than I ever was.

She's also Bi, has Rheumatoid Arthritis and she is married to me (a neurodivergent)

Climate data get worse by the day, fascism is on the rise, derailing and dismantling the system. Governments are ignoring or blocking sufficient action.
We need to deal with the crisis bottom up.

O My Friends, There is No Friend by Matt Hern, 2025

The Politics of Friendship at the End of Ecology

Can friendship as a political practice offer enough traction to imagine a borderless world? The startling contemporary rise in aggressive ethno-nationalism and end-times ecological crises have the same root: an inability to be together with humans as much as the natural world.

directory.doabooks.org/handle/




Matt Hern and Am Johal suggest that porous renditions of being-together animated by friendship can spark a repoliticization of the political to surpass the foreclosures of the state, speak to a freedom of movement, and find renovated relationships with the more-than-human. This volume includes interviews with Jean-Luc Nancy, Leela Gandhi and Leanne Simpson.

This is my new Mastodon server. Yeah, another moment, another time, I reset my VPS and then reinstalled this instance again. I enjoyed discovering how to configure my VPS very perfectly without flaws, without results that are due to low-quality decisions, mistakes, and unorganized or unplanned choices.

But, my presence in the Fediverse isn't new. It has been traced back to around the 2020s (I can't remember the exact date) when, at that time, Vivaldi Browser offered me the opportunity to create a new browser sync personal account, and I also started using their Mastodon instance called "Vivaldi Social."

In Malaysia, there were many news mentions of the Fediverse and Mastodon because, at that time, Elon Musk was buying a platform called Twitter before he rebranded it as X, which caused people online to be upset that their favorite platform could be easily bought by a so-called billionaire.
