Software development as a process is a mirror of the general trend in software itself to use more and more resources for no particular reason except developer laziness and that it increases velocity and feature churn (which software users hate). All incentivised because pointless complexity and thrashing around using 200 things you don't need gets you promotions / job security / tech talk slots

Lol @ Github hand-wringing about the rapidly scaling overhead of operations. My dudes, you actively promoted that shit. Some of us just wanna write code and only interact with you occasionally when we push/pull. You're part of the whole "software development has to be incredibly complicated and require 12 cloud services, 638 dependencies and 6 code transformation stages now because...reasons"

Most of all people who gladly let the plutes destroy art, labor and the planet for a perceived 10-15% increase in their own productivity. But at...

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Same. I’m still using a really quite old Hugo version because I can’t be bothered to make the templates work with the newer versions. Doesn’t matter, works fine like it is and it’s just one binary to keep

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... yeah my wife and I have played through it 3 times at various points in the development. We prefer it to Factorio; for me the 3d element breaks it out of the feeling of playing a spreadsheet that Factorio gave me after the first time through

@nprofile1q... software engineering jobs hit a zenith a while back I think; even if they suddenly decide they need us again the sort of conditions you’re expected to work in in a lot of those jobs is pretty unattractive now. It’s all about velocity and crapping out the next thing as fast as possible just for the sake of it. Even Apple, supposedly the people who care about usability and design, signed up to a pointless yearly refresh even if no-one wants it.

I’m glad Apple’s new CEO is going to be a product guy. I don’t know if they’ll win me back on the desktop though - to do that the Mac has to become a lot more developer friendly again, and less obviously price gouging. I have such fond memories of what a Mac was like to develop on around 2008-2013, it was a perfect blend of Unix-like and friendly desktop, without all the stupid hoops you have to jump through now, and it was a modest premium to pay. Get back to that & maybe we can talk

I’m considering moving off Trello to a self-hosted task tracker; while I like Kanban for tracking current cycle tasks, it’s getting bogged down for backlog and bug tracking. We don’t need something much more complex but just a touch more nuanced - just kanban plus an extended issues list really. Anyone have recommendations?

Options I’ve found so far: Plane, Taiga or OpenProject look good but maybe overkill? Also I hate all the AI talk on the websites of some of them 🤢
