Did you know "collaborative two-stage exams" are a thing? I learned about these from my friend Dr. Claire Meaders who is doing excellent work in how we teach about biology. And as usual, I try to think about how we might incorporate some lovely lateral learning into how we run software teams.

Imagine if performance evaluations had an individual component AND a group component. Imagine being able to promote whole teams together. It's a cool idea.

The overlap between self-compassion and my own areas of expertise (learning/high performance/resilient productivity) are super fascinating.

"Because self-compassionate individuals have an emotionally positive self-attitude that is not contingent on performance evaluations, they should be freer to engage in activities out of interest rather than out of a desire to protect or enhance their self-esteem."

@ddosecrets is the real deal. we don't deserve the amount of work, risk, and integrity it takes to run a group like that. $400/150k, i think they deserve the funding: https://donorbox.org/ddosecrets-five-years-later

JSON is bouba and XML is kiki

@mcc javascript promises are completion based and not readiness based. when you call .then() it will either call your function right away, or add it to the callback list that's executed when the thing that's blocking the rest completes

you don't need to poll/wait/whatever on a promise for it to have forward progress, unlike in rust or python
