I have a sudden mighty nerd to write a parody of Ella Fitzgerald's song "a tisket a tasket" but about debugging a broken kubernetes cluster

I... I just need it, okay? For reasons

I’m in Denver/Broomfield for a few days for the SW2con (used to be Gluecon) event. Giving a talk on Weds. meeting a bunch of old friends. https://www.sw2con.com/#agenda

TIL that low estrogen also affects the elasticity of tendons and can contribute to hip and joint pain.

Gotdammit. I'm gonna have to take some collagen pills, aren't i?

Thanks, . Yet another thing to love. is bullshit.

@DeliaChristina if you take hrt does that help with it? Or is it a thing where once perimenopause starts you're kinda fucked?

Fascinating when a total stranger on here links out one of my posts to talk about how I'm a terrible person and all the men who follow and reply to me are just here to educate me. Lmfao I wonder what the difference is. I wonder if I made my profile pic an equation what they would infer instead.

@tess @grimalkina even worse! smart, hot, successful, in leadership, not even single??

Literally the worst person on the planet. Not a single inferiority complex left untouched. Scorched earth 💀

I can't figure out if mastodon is a high context culture or not. People seem to be expected to give long introductions and do a lot of identity/positionality disclosure, but also an enormous reply guy culture which is defined by low context drive-by. Conversational turn-taking is extremely low compared to other platforms ime, but depth-seeking is high. What an interesting mix.

*obviously, these experiences are all situated within my own network effects, and I'm not well networked here.

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@grimalkina oh it's a super fascinating mix, honestly. I'd be very interested in seeing the real reasons behind this.

I suspect having to do self curation of your feeds puts people more in the "actively seeking out depth" category, but the really poor UI for having threaded conversations and actually seeing things in a certain way prevents you from having those longer conversations.

Lack of QTs and algorithmic ranking ironically likely also contributes to lower conversation depth? Dunno! 🤷‍♀️

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@grimalkina I mean, honestly, even when writing that I realized after I sent it that I sent my response in a more closed loop framing and didn't really leave room for a further follow up response from you. I can't remember if that's how Twitter ended up being too (I think so), but I see that closed form sort of response a lot more often here for some reason.

Lemme open it again

What do you think about that? Does any of that resonate with you, or am I thinking about it wrong? :)

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@grimalkina I totally get how things on Twitter feel lighter. I bet the character limit and the ease of how quickly you could reply or navigate helped a lot. I'd feel like I wasted a reply if I sent "wdym?" In a mastodon reply, but doing so on Twitter felt natural.

Durable conversation streams vs talk panel format, hmm... That sounds more like it, honestly? Like sometimes I feel as if I'm speaking on a panel when replying on mastodon rather than having a conversation

And yesss!! Diversity 😭

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@grimalkina oh yeah. Social media is now much more transactional and time boxed for me. We got too good at building exploitative platforms and so it's more of a Self-Protection mechanism to make sure I can still get something valuable out of it and continue to have the social connection without being drained.

There's also an element of it now being a career growth tool, which is an interesting mix for me

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@grimalkina I think it actually transcends social media specifically because I see the same thing happening in gaming and any other computer related activity.

There was a time period of about a decade where I was fairly all right with removing time out of my life in order to spend it in virtual reality, and now I want to use technology to enhance the real world and my life in the real world rather than using them as an escape mechanism

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@grimalkina If I dig into that more, I think of the fundamental shift for me was actually not a coming of age (although that played a big part), But rather it was going from having no agency to having sufficient agency to where I want to (and can) intentionally seek out fulfillment

So, now that I have that agency, I take steps in order to minimize use of things that remove agency from my life. But I see people that still use tech for escapism having that lack of agency; I think it's related?

@jonobie @grimalkina hmm, I think my Twitter feed was sufficiently neurodiverse that it's comparable to here. There's definitely more of it here than Twitter, but I was so thoroughly on ADHD, queer, and systems thinking Twitter that basically nobody was neurotypical 😅

It must be really awkward hosting Q&A’s with the staff celebrating record profits to the tune of billions of dollars only for employees to ask why you’re doing layoffs every quarter then?

This is why CEOs can’t wait to replace their pesky employees with AI.

@attilasedon agreed! I'm now dreaming up what a double bass purdy shuffle beat would sound like, with double triplets for the high hat as well. All the groovy syncopated stuff is so good to my brain and I love it sooo much

But I also really dig heavy bass and the heavier sound and figuring out a way to blend them together in a balanced composition would be super cool (but I know next to nothing about music)

My director told me about a conference that she really liked and wanted to sent some of our principal engineers to. It was the O'Reilly Architecture Conference... But unfortunately, it's not a thing anymore. What's your favorite alternative conference that's close to that one?

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@irvingreid I've spoken at it before! It's quite good. But I'm not sure it has the same feel as the architecture conference did. I never got to see that one in person, but I heard about how fantastic it used to be

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@fuzzychef I don't know! I only heard about it second hand, but the people I know who went to it early on enjoyed it quite a bit!

@anthrocypher @jmsdnns I'm sorry for jumping into things, then! ❤️

You probably didn't phrase things poorly, I just see so much of that type of reply in bad faith that it's hard to see the well intentioned ones sometimes

For sometimes very good reasons, leaders right now are scared of dealing with extended constituencies. But they're also the only way to build something with outsized impact in an internet age.

I don't love VC-scale businesses for their own sake, but I do love the internet.

@jmsdnns @anthrocypher are you aware of who you're replying to and how extensive their expertise is?

@fasterthanlime Fascinating! This score seems to have gone down for me after transitioning. I think I'm masking better now as well as being affected by the whole autism presenting differently in women thing
