Compassion and Code Around the Web

  • Struggling with loneliness? Try these tips on how to find your people

  • I’ve discussed “dark patterns” like confirm shaming in previous talks. Some of these patterns are apparently now officially banned India. I have mixed feelings about this… As much as I want us to move away from them, it feels like overreach to make them illegal. What do you think?

  • Developers are often prone to poking holes in new ideas and looking for failure points. This can be useful at the right time. Outside of that time, please try not to rain on anyone’s parade.

  • An article about AI responsibility that isn’t extreme and alarmist.

  • Survey on aging developers from Kate Gregory

Talk to you soon!
