    also, AI is not -free- and no one with those services is gonna just keep giving it away. There are so many costs, monetary and other, and if you aren't paying them yet, you will get blindsided when they come.

    Had a really great convo about how accountability without ownership is the pathway to burn out...Executive leadership measuring your perf, holding you accountable for your scope but not allowing for full ownership on decision-making. It resonated so hard for me and I just😳

    Many employers make folks ask for ANYTHING they want--raise, promotion... Your good employees? Will go to someone who won't make them ask.

    Today is my last day at the @nodejs Foundation. I'm -very- excited to dive back into challenges in the project just as a contributor(I'm not going anywhere!) and to continue to help remove barriers for collaborators as well as new folks who want to learn and use Node.js.

    I have had to advise some startups to absolutely NOT do this in the hiring/not-hiring process. It's gross, and the whispernetworks make sure it's known. No, startup, it is not a compliment to be asked to contribute to your codebase as an alternative to being hired.

    I keep thinking how I've been arguing for a seat at the table(for me and others), but in recent years found once I get there I want to make new tables because the people at the existing tables suuuuuuuck.

    I am grateful I'm in an industry where my work is in high enough demand that employers don't hold all the chips. We keep track of employers failing at being good employers. When you fire someone, often there's been a lot of failing above that person. WE SEE YOU. We share it.
