The sad part about today's xz/liblzma discovery is that again critical infrastructure was maintained by overworked volunteers without sufficient assistance or support. We, as professional software engineers, or even we, as society, relying on their volunteer work, failed them.

After a lovely summer off, I’m now looking for work. My preferences lean towards something in or adjacent to the infrastructure/operations/site reliability space. Open to both FTE and contract.

My lukewarm take of the evening is that while MBA types might actually be good at “business”, business doesn’t actually benefit anyone. On paper it might show some returns for the shareholder class, but in practice it’s a net negative to society as a whole. – at Berlin, Germany

The recent southwest meltdown is a great example of this, same for the safety record and product lines of Boeing/McDonnell Douglas merger. Or Basically any PE buyout. – at Berlin, Germany

GPT4 will be out soon and will probably cause a similar economic shock to one from Covid. Instant distribution with nearly instant adoption and nearly instant productivity increase for hundreds of millions of knowledge workers. Brace yourselves, 2023 is coming
