We have been consistent and clear with communicating our needs to management all year. We don't want to be striking, we want to be back at work supporting creators and backers. Please support our union's efforts!

Kickstarter United @kickstarterunited.org · Oct 2

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Great to hear Donald Trump is concerned about bird deaths, and excited to hear about his banning of cats, cars, and glass buildings, any second now.

You might be over-engineering your workflow orchestration.

I just shipped a simple Go library that gives you:
- Conditional branching
- Parallel execution
- Retry management
- State management
- Embedded scripting
- Snapshotting interfaces

govulncheck also has a binary mode to increase coverage for reflect based call chains #devsecops #golang

Go example that imports a library with a vulnerable accept header parser function from 2020. It uses the reflect package to call it. Running govulncheck in binary mode results in finding 2 vulnerabilities.

Source code:
```
$ cat main.go
package main

import (
"golang.org/x/text/language" // v0.3.4 (2020)
"reflect"
)

func Main() {
language.ParseAcceptLanguage("00-t-0o")
}

func main() {
reflect.ValueOf(Main).Call([]reflect.Value{})
}
```

Again the same Go example calling a vulnerable function using reflect. This time govulncheck is called in source mode though, reporting:

No vulnerabilities found.

Your code is affected by 0 vulnerabilities.
This scan also found 2 vulnerabilities in packages you import and 0
vulnerabilities in modules you require, but your code doesn't appear to call these vulnerabilities.

dunno why people complicate things so much, a mono repo handled by #Bazel + #Gazelle, and add to the mix #gRPC + #GoLang + #HTMX + #Python, just the local setup is almost impossible, 😮‍💨

Of course this thing has a name. Now you know too, its called Hyrum's Law.

- With a sufficient number of users of an API, it does not matter what you promise in the contract: all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody.

New blog post! 🎉 Testing with Go and PostgreSQL: ephemeral DBs

Let’s say you created a #golang program that needs a DB — you installed PostgreSQL, wrote the Go code, and everything works; great! But how do you best provide PostgreSQL to your automated tests?
