My first advice to junior contributors is to STOP using vibe coding for PRs. OSS is always about people more than about code. We don't need more code generated by LLM, we need more people who care.

People make fun of Dickens for how ridiculously over the top his villains are.
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

I recently started learning @gleam.run (mainly through exercism.io and codecrafters.io) and I'm really loving it so far. So much I decided to contribute to the project with a small recurrent donation.

The @uniofreading.bsky.social is spearheading the attack on trans rights within British universities and we need the @goodlawproject.org supporting its students and staff NOW.
We are hearing some very troubling stories about trans exclusion, supported by the University, at Cambridge. We are making contact with affected societies and individuals and will fiercely protect the legal rights of trans students to live with respect and dignity.

Why Women in Tech isn't enough
Women in Tech spaces help, but fall short in the long run. Real progress needs systemic change and active involvement from men in positions of power.

It wasn't anti-white to support boycotting South African teams under apartheid.
It's not Russophobia to support boycotting Russian teams after the invasion of Ukraine.
And it's not antisemitism to support boycotting Israeli teams after a genocide.

This is super cool! What a great project, and very impressive results
For the past few months I've been working on a new web server in Gleam called ewe 🐑. To summarize my development path to the v1 release, I decided to write a blog post about it.
