I've been deploying a new major piece of software/infra recently; something that's being iterated on the fly in the field with live users. One thing that continuously shocks me is how people refuse to report issues and just work around them. If you don't report something it 'aint gonna fix itself.

The psychology behind ignoring and moving on is kind of wild to me. People rather just try to fix it the way they can instead of approaching an open channel ie direct contact with my team. The path of least resistance is report and fix, yet they take the hard headed approach. Always blows my mind.

special edition of the Learn With Jason livestream is back, Thursday at 9:30am PT! what's the value in working on new web frameworks today? why should we care at all? @ryansolid.bsky.social has been working on Solid 2.0 and grappling with the shifting landscape of OSS youtube.com/live/8f09f50...

The image of an eagle terrorizing the goose that the Whitehouse posted has actual footage of the goose eventually winning 😆. If this isn't a metaphor for US trade policy then I don't know what is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIja...

Currently sitting at my desk staring at Lake America. 😆😜. Sigh, this timeline is weird.

Is it possible that Mark Carney might be the most powerful person in the world (albeit briefly)? Power isn’t just military. It’s leverage. It’s trade. It’s relationships.

It's sad watching what's happening between Canada and the US. This is a vital moment between both countries but one side is seeking to diminish the other. This is not what allies do. Glad to see Canada standing up to a bully. It was the right move. It will come at a cost, but we have no choice. 🇨🇦

The sad part is Americans are being buffered from what's happening with their largest customer. Here's how much they are paying attention...

This represents many years of hard work by Ryan and our maintainers. Very proud to get this out the door. Give 2.0 a spin while it’s in RC and report any bugs on Discord! Let’s get this shipped officially 💪

Ugh, I just watched a Musk interview and what he's saying about a zero-cost society is kind of spot on. After feasting off Drexler and similar futurist authors for decades I do believe technology will bring us there. I fear Musk and other billionaires tainting those ideas by just talking about it.

I'm late on my quarterly ERP rant, so here it is... For the love of god someone please disrupt the *whole* ERP industry. It's ripe for change. Don't make me spend the next few years of my life tackling this problem, it doesn't look fun :p

Last weekend I got to see one of my favourite bands during their 20th anniversary tour. Any Canadian millennial likely knows the words to their albums. What a fantastic show @billytalent.com!

The pit was wild haha 😂

Heading back to Toronto from spending a weekend in #Halifax (Nova Scotia) at a tournament. Makes you realise how amazing other parts of Canada are. The food, the people, the weather. Thanks for a beautiful weekend. I’ll be back soon! I’ve neglected the Maritimes.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed with Americans. It’s turning into a much deeper harder feeling to shake. We’re suffering from wildfires and they’re turning to politics. When the US was down on its luck with California fires and 9/11 we helped. We are down and they’re kicking us.

This moments will not ever be forgotten. They will motivate future conversations and push us in a direction I don’t think any Canadian would have thought was normal just years ago. It’s truly sad.

So Canadian tax payers have to eat billions of the cost and risk but give 50% to the US just…because? Then they call us “allies” while basically extorting the situation. What amazing allies we have.

If you're wondering what's up with all this talk with the word "fascism" these days, you would enjoy watching this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV8K.... This is basically the content you'd learn and first year political science.

youtube.comIs Fascism Back?YouTube video by Johnny Harris

I personally disagree with Roger Griffin. Illiberal democracy isn't a potent enough word. Neo-fascism is far more accurate and captures what we're experiencing. I could probably defend that as well.

About once a year I rant about the state of ERP platforms. I'm due for one so here it is. The ERP industry has to be the most deficient niche I've seen in the software industry. Every project seems to be death by a thousand cuts due to legacy/deficient software and horribly archaic process.

Everything is aligned to the disadvantage of the entity licensing the software. It's practically anti-user experience at every level. What I hear often is "this is how it has been and probably will continue to be". There's a complete lack of interest in easing the burden for adoption.

Lastly, time is literally money when it's about utilizing their time (if you saw the billables your eyes would bleed). When it comes to your time though, it's abundant and so they can be so irreverent. Someone please disrupt this space. If not...I'll do it myself. :p
