“In the Who Cares Era, the most radical thing you can do is care.” YES @dansinker.com

"People like AI because it acts like a sponge, a gas, a perceived infinitely malleable material that adapts to whatever shape is presented to it. It will fill a space in the same way that cats do." 👌 newsletter.danhon.com/archive/s19e...

Interesting last night was SO GOOD. I smiled and laughed and cheered and sang and handed out stickers and took almost no photos and saw loads of people and it was, of course, very very VERY interesting www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/interestin... Thanks @undermanager.bsky.social

Once again, it is time for Interesting 🥳 russelldavies.typepad.com/planning/202...

Interesting approach to journey mapping trauma @erioldoesdesign.bsky.social #monkigras

“When you don’t have a code of conduct it signals that your space is not safe.” @kat.lol delivering truth at #MonkiGras

@kat.lol thank you for this reminder. In work, and in life. #monkigras

Strong talk title 💯 @kat.lol #monkigras

Really like @stefanprodan.com makes the point that how critical being a good tech writer is when you are a maintainer of an open source project. #monkigras

#MonkiGras where @reconditerose.bsky.social is speaking about how to build a sustainable community around a fork, going from Redis to Valkey. Also, celebratory Valkey birthday cupcakes!

This is the talk that threw my understanding of open source onto a completely different track, and I cited at least twice today at #monkigras. Keeping Linux Great, from @r0ml.net https://youtu.be/i3nJR7PNgI4?si=l98Cz6cxo-AggVBm

Ben from Gravity Well sharing the origin story of our favourite Leyton brewery 🍻 #monkigras

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

“The myth that receiving money is merely enough to make a project sustainable” @chrisjrn.fyi #MonkiGras Some tough truths about the challenges of sustainability in open source and the choices we need to make - and the importance of choosing to organise as workers

"Licensing as an organising tool is Dead" @chrisjrn.fyi #MonkiGras

xkcd.com/2347/ very much the comic of #MonkiGras 2025!

Open Source is like a sewer: when it works you take it for granted, when it doesn’t… 🫣@powen.net #monkigras

"Resistance is a necessary coercive force, not an obstructionist force." - @popey.me #monkigras

Love to see a Thick of It reference 👏 @popey.me #monkigras

Every generation has its automation scare, but there is always more failure to fix. The more rules we create, the more exceptions there will be 🤷‍♀️ @jedi.be #monkigras

Commenting and documentation - and documented decisions - make it possible to communicate synchronously and work as a team. This may be preaching to the converted but frankly it can't be stated enough 👏👏👏 #Monkigras

Wine making as a labour of love, and why passion projects can be dangerous… @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

Lars argues sometimes you *should* reinvent the wheel… #monkigras
