At the org we're slowly assembling, the plan is to build the work around the people. Find good people you can trust to be diligent, give them a choice of problems to solve and resources to work with, and then let them figure out how to proceed.

My first real job, at a major university, was handled that way.
That was 1985.
The brokenness runs deep.
@inthehands This explains much of the frustration that has led to me no longer bothering to apply for tech jobs.
Maybe the companies that use these broken processes will soon start to collapse under the deadweight of accumulated techbros? A girl can dream...
@AutisticInnovator Makes me wonder if the bots are written in VBA running under MS Access97 or something... :D
Pippin story #17. She is very missed.
Age: 16
When we moved here there was a woodstove close to all the places Pippin liked to be. Nothing had been off limits to her before.
When she was being a pill she’d amble over to the roaring stove, look back at us, put a paw onto the hearth and stretch dramatically toward the fire.
The showdown came when she leapt into the tub behind the stove filled with cozy cat things like kindling, matches, and an ash broom.
No regrets.
@cthululemon You're running it on a home server?
I don't have a step-by-step, but may be able to answer some questions.
@1goodtern "If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats... will [long list of things that most people want and that are kinda also core to the idea of what the US was supposed to be]".
The brainwashing, it burns.
Howbout an app for carbon dating, where the goal is to find the right O2 pair for your C, and make enough polycules to destroy the climate.
@Researchbuzz They have the same footwear as Blue Meanies, but you can tell they aren't Blue Meanies because they like good music. :yellow_submarine:
When a YouTube title and thumbnail makes you go SKKKKKRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTT
@DemocracyMattersALot I just watched a video by HCR in which she reads what sounds like today's "radical left-wing agenda" but it's actually the GOP platform from 1955 or so.
(Ok, found it in my history -- and actually I'm only about 2/3 of the way through.)
@luna I'm just wondering if he remembered to rotate out the spare, if it's a full-size, and then do a balance afterwards. (Failure to balance your passwords after a rotation can lead to premature wear.)
Do any of you have recommendations of books or documentaries about Appalacia/Eastern Rust Belt?
I want to know its history, why the area got so rich, then so poor, why the whole place has been left to rust, and why the people there keep voting against their interests.

Live in an apartment complex and I’ve secretly deployed several tubs of sidewalk chalk around the building and one of the downstairs family kids just found one.
Summer officially begins.
