@joepie91:pixie.town | KFears (burning out): there is; a lot of companies are purely extractive towards their developers, in that they are expected to be 'shipping code' at all times, and they do not get the room to experiment and learn to improve their craft | 16:15:23 |
@joepie91:pixie.town | it's not the only factor, but pressure is often a factor in unnecessary corners getting cut, because people start taking the most obvious paths for everything, assuming that any further effort would slow them down, instead of actually doing the analysis | 16:16:10 |
@joepie91:pixie.town | and so people start associating "doing it right" with "costs a lot of time" even though often the opposite is true, not just in the long term but even in the short term | 16:16:50 |
@joepie91:pixie.town | this is very much a culture problem, ultimately | 16:17:26 |
@emma:rory.gay | i do a lot of shippiong code | 16:17:32 |
@emma:rory.gay | but at the end of the day im just fucking around | 16:17:52 |

uep | i thought mjolnir was essentially dead/unmaintained | 00:22:38 |
uep | i don't know if draupnir still has the same issue, it may already have been improved there even a little | 00:23:06 |
uep | (all the above issues are valid, just noting that in addition they're essentially fossilised here) | 00:24:19 |
uep | * (all the above issues are valid, just noting that in addition the specific consequences are essentially fossilised here) | 00:24:45 |
uep | even if such a PR might actually be accepted, it's less likely to be made, and maybe less likely to make it out into the world as a release | 00:26:15 |
| Brian May joined the room. | 01:15:26 |
Cat | Mjolnir was brought back into active development. | 08:27:21 |
Cat | And as for odds of getting into a release they do cut releases from time to time | 08:27:47 |
uep | TIL | 08:41:20 |
Cat | Like I won’t say mjolnir has the highest thruput feature wise or anything like that but actively developing yes. | 09:44:11 |
| Tim joined the room. | 10:21:59 |
Moritz Sanft | Not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but does someone have an invite to the new Nix / NixOS matrix room for me? | 12:57:55 |
@emma:rory.gay | done | 12:58:53 |
| GZ7d0 changed their display name from GonZo7d0 to GZ7d0. | 15:18:40 |
balsoft | I got invited to a bunch of spam rooms all named "NixOS <some unpleasant things here>" , presumably because I'm in the NixOS room. I know it's a hard problem to solve (Telegram has it too) but what can theoretically be done about this? | 15:28:10 |
@saiko:knifepoint.net | theoretically? word filters on the homeserver level | 15:59:34 |
@saiko:knifepoint.net | might already exist, idk | 15:59:50 |
@joepie91:pixie.town | on an individual level, not much. on an ecosystem level, a serious reworking of how invites are handled, both on a homeserver and a client level | 16:00:24 |
@joepie91:pixie.town | some homeservers block external invites wholesale but that also blocks legitimate invites | 16:00:45 |
@joepie91:pixie.town | wordfilters could work in principle but a lot of spam invites over the years haven't been clearly identifiable with specific words | 16:01:09 |
@jh-devv:matrix.org | In reply to @saiko:knifepoint.net theoretically? word filters on the homeserver level @emma:rory.gay might be able to help | 16:05:20 |
@emma:rory.gay | meow? | 16:05:30 |
