We managed to convince Google to open source PebbleOS. Took a while, but they just did it today! github.com/google/pebble
With that, we're bringing Pebble back! I blogged about it - ericmigi.com/blog/why-wer...

No it doesn’t. Being an asshole isn’t ideological diversity, it’s just edgelording. Wanting livable wages, healthcare, peace, kindness-those are all supposed to be 99% agreeable stuff. Folks just want to live their lives and occasionally get Friday’s off work. These don’t require a devils advocate.
Bluesky needs more ideological diversity, a thread:
1/8: I think the question of why commentators like Matt Yglesias, Lakshya Jain, Noah Smith, Nate Silver and Richard Hanania don’t post more, or at all on Bluesky is important.
This would be a better platform if they did.

My mom raised me to be someone who always asks questions and respectfully disagrees whenever I think someone is pushing me to do something I don't agree with. I've always loved this fact about myself.
But this coupled with inheriting my father's expressive face can be HELL in corporate America 😂

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

Everyone I know is figuring out how we can support each other, and make sure none of our money goes to the US. It’s a weird mix of patriotism and vengeance.

Most of my promotions were based on my ability to attach my work to the metrics below. Working at a major cloud provider made this a lot easier because we tracked everything. It largely comes down to earning and sharing the credit across different teams including engineering, product, and sales.
1. Impact. How much revenue does my work protect or generate?
2. Quality. Does my work meet or exceed customer expectations?
3. Efficiency. Reward making the right buy versus build decision.
4. Reusability. How do others leverage my work?
5. Supportability. How much work do I create for others?

a question for the people who write code for money:
if you could wave a magic wand and have your performance/promotability measured on any 5 metrics of your choice, what would those metrics be?
