    Data is not the new gold, data is the new uranium. Sometimes you can make money from it, but it can be radioactive, it's dangerous to store, has military uses, you generally don't want to concentrate it too much, and it's regulated. Why keep uranium you don't need?

    Alright, actually unpopular opinion thread time. Might delete later. Allowing pets in the office is not an inclusive policy.

    I have some personal news 👀 Today is my last day at Google! 🛫🏝🌅 I am leaving to take a long break from full-time employment and explore different ways Open Source maintainers can get paid. I want to make words.filippo.io/professional-m… a thing, starting with Go cryptography!

    Replying to @FiloSottile
    This is the maintainer who fixed the vulnerability that's causing millions(++?) of dollars of damage. "I work on Log4j in my spare time" "always dreamed of working on open source full time" "3 sponsors are funding @rgoers's work: Michael, Glenn, Matt" People, what are we doing.

    I just saw a professional electrician follow a YouTube video, and I was confused for a second. Then I remembered I have 15 StackOverflow tabs open, and it all made sense.

    No one is paying the log4j2 maintainers!? There is a whole page on the responsibilities of a @TheASF "Project Management Committee"... AND NO ONE IS PAYING THEM? apache.org/dev/pmc.html Open Source needs to grow the hell up. Yesterday.

    Log4j maintainers have been working sleeplessly on mitigation measures; fixes, docs, CVE, replies to inquiries, etc. Yet nothing is stopping people to bash us, for work we aren't paid for, for a feature we all dislike yet needed to keep due to backward compatibility concerns.

    I'm being downvoted on HN for mentioning that a black person saying "all white people are bad" is not the same thing as a white person saying "all black people are bad", in case you were wondering how tech is doing on understanding systemic racism.

    Earlier today, I kept getting "406 Not Acceptable" errors adding an embedded tweet to my blog post. Spent 15 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong. No hits on Google. Look at my Twitter name and tell me if you can figure it out 😅

    “We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic. Always. No, your company is not an exception.
