As promised by last Tuesday (woops), here is my latest article:

"What people wish they knew before becoming involved in OSS"

https://marijkeluttekes.dev/blog/articles/2024/05/16/what-people-wish-they-knew-before-becoming-involved-in-oss/

Inspired by research for my #PyGrunn presentation for tomorrow.

Edit: I removed the follow-up source toots because they mucked up the timeline, and they're also boosted or linked in the article.

You speak Norwegian with a Polish accent. Your vowels strained like half-smiles you receive from your neighbors; your consonants rough like a Monday morning workout session at SATS. There’s no escaping from stereotypes your accent invokes.

Open source contributors, what did you wish you knew when you started contributing? Or is there something that kept you from contributing for too long?

I am asking for a presentation, which I will give in two weeks.

So apparently 13% of Norwegian devs are women. I think it was about the same freaking 20 years ago. We can’t seem to manage to hold on to the women we have, but we keep on trying to fix the problem by pouring more women in. There is a Norwegian folktale about someone trying to carry water back from the stream in a sieve. Might be relevant reading.

Why would you log thread IDs when you can use emoji instead?

Thoughts on in-person events, the value of obliviousness to subtle hostility, and comparing usability across different domains (including the Fediverse).
