Spot on, I’ve seen plenty of great looking projects that I could contribute to but have next to no onboarding or set-up process. I’m keen on helping out but I’m not going to spend days setting things up locally because the primary project managers CBF to simplify the process.

Minimizing the mental overhead to get started should be something these larger projects strive for, especially if they’re struggling to get devs.

Even something like having a docker container for web apps is massively helpful, being able to up a container and everything just works means more tech adjacent contributors can join the project (designers, UI/UX experts, testers etc)

Best thing I did was throw all my old socks away and just bought a dozen of the exact same socks. Never have to worry about sorting them or getting annoyed when one inevitably goes AWOL

Never even saw that one, looks great now!

Imagine how shithouse their diet must be to warrant the need for a poop knife 🤮 drink more clear fluids and up the fiber intake jeeze

There are plenty of other developers, new ones that were happy to work on integrations and apps for the fediverse. While sync is great, it’s like a giant Walmart moving into the area, displacing other viable alternatives.

Pretty happy with voyager, it’s a pretty solid choice despite being styled entirely for iOS. I’ll probably look into a more Android designed / focused app going forward.

It’s still needed until the transition to full renewables is viable in most places. People still need to afford electricity so it’s a means to an end

Things take time, getting the momentum moving to another platform is always super hard to do

There’s next to no difference in regards to payroll processing on a week by week basis. Companies want to push this to a fortnight or month so it’s easier on their finances. There’s very little reason it couldn’t be paid weekly.

Yeah been noticing it can be pretty hit or miss, the vibe is pretty chill here but people still come out of the woodwork to dog-pile on people. The unverified allegations with LLT / Madison are a perfect example of that

Apologists like people who ask for evidence for serious allegations? Yeah those people are the worst, let me get my pitchfork

It’s like moving from Coke to Pepsi. Similar enough in it’s own way. It’s definitely better than the other budget alternatives

We just doubled our numbers somehow! Look at all these new users joining the fediverse 😅
