The whiskey aging process is influenced by time & place. Aren’t we lucky. These barrels have all been influenced by the greatly varying temperatures & humidity levels of their original source and their time in our rick house in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

The ongoing misunderstanding about Bluesky's architecture allowing for decentralization meaning it is unstoppable has me thinking a lot about mutualism. numergent.com/2025-04/Unst...

AI middleware. And some Microsoft history. hardcoresoftware.learningbyshipping.com/p/230-mcp-it...

For those looking for my slides from MonkiGras 2025 last week you can find them here in a google drive. They will stay there, viewable until approx September 2025 or around the end of the year. bit.ly/erioldoesdes...

Really appreciate this history of open source. We can’t ignore the consequences of licensing models and their incentives @chrisjrn.fyi #monkigras

Here’s the full SMBC comic about finding something you can get real weird about I referenced on my #MonkiGras talk, in case anyone missed the URL on the slide. www.smbc-comics.com/comic/weird-4

@jedi.be @ #MonkiGras 2025 talking about what makes you tick, learning from family. Equal != same. Learning paths differ. Sometimes you just have do things.

“If you want to build a sustainable project you need to build a team around it” @iamstan.elmo.sh @ #MonkiGras 2025

Amazing talk on passion plays, craft wine and parallels on software craftsmanship by @ricardo.bsky.social @ #MonkiGras

Labels matter. As @ricardo.bsky.social shares on wine bottle branding, a label can carry meaning and help folks to select a bottle, or avoid it. #monkigras

@cote.io giving his D&D with GenAI talk and the crowd is already full in! And maybe a bit inspired by the cider. #MonkiGras

Here's the talk I'm about to give to a potentially craft cider-sotten crowd at #MonkiGras: cote.io/chatdm/

So many flavors. Should I get the flag one?

For #MonkiGras folks interested in hearing @alex.zenla.io’s @redmonk.com conversation w @rstephens.me you can catch it here: redmonk.com/blog/2025/02...

“Putting trust in someone can be a game-changer” - @luxas.dev - #MonkiGras

#MonkiGras - for those who feel they are overachievers and need some perspective.

It’s easy for people from a non traditional background to think you were lucky but probably you worked hard to get where you are - Alex Zensa on their journey into technology #monkigras

My #MonkiGras slides about Power Dynamics, rug pulls, and other impacts on sustainability in OSS. fastwonderblog.com/wp-content/u...

“The Slippery Slope of Volunteering” @miketheman.com #MonkiGras I can already tell this is going to be an absolute mood

@fintanr.bsky.social with some very wise words at #MonkiGras Create a will. Establish a digital legacy plan. Nominate a succesor.

I'm also thinking about @monkchips.com words on inclusion and respect. Not just at this event, but day-to-day team working. Stark contrasts between the sometimes unconscious bias and ego that I'm seeing on a regular basis. While that knowledge makes me sad, #Monkigras is a positive haven today.

@geekygirldawn.bsky.social @ #MonkiGras on power dynamic changes and minimizing risk.

@taylorbar.net kicking off @monkigras.com 2025 - touch grass!

This thread is pure horror. Hippos are like all D&D monsters rolled into one.

Zuckerberg is a bootlick, Facebook is a privacy invasion machine, and Meta is angling to become a military contractor. I won't believe that "the left" gives a shit about anything other than convenient shows until we start seeing double-digit percentages of US Instagram accounts closing.

men only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting

Wish I could do more, we are recruiting at CDPR. Some writing positions on our team for Cyberpunk Orion will be listed here soon, too. If you know great game devs who got laid off - which could be so many people right now - please let them know. www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs
