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.

@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! ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

@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 ๐Ÿ˜ญ

@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

@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! โค๏ธ

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.

Forget YAGNI, the real advice is PPPPP: Probably gonna Phuck up Parsers, Protocols, and Permissions

auth system? phucked up
regexing your html? phucked up
anything involving email? phucked up
are computers involved at all anywhere? you're phucked

just say no to making silicone think

Look, when computer science departments have some of the worst learning outcomes of any department on campus maybe they SHOULDN'T be elevated as the experts on how students should "learn with AI" with the only reason being "computers"??? Just saying. I will gladly listen to the absolute heroes in CS who HAVE centered teaching and ARE incredible teachers but I guarantee their colleagues aren't.

hazelweakly,

@grimalkina applies real well to industry too, if I'm being honest. Whole lot of "opinions on how to level up your engineers by person who's never once thought about how to uplift their teammates" energy going on right now

I would burn so many gpus and do many questionable things if it got me the ability to throw a magic wand at a fuck cluster of terraform and tighten up / debug all of the AWS iam bullshit going on in there.

@clementd of course once you do biscuits one must naturally go all the way into doing macaroons because even though biscuits are cool, macaroons are even cooler

Who doesn't want their API to secretly be a prolog interpreter?

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@clementd oh fun! I've only seen articles on both and I've always wanted to play with them (or try them out for real), I just haven't had an opportunity present itself yet

hazelweakly,
@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io avatar

@clementd eyeroll I just realized I flipped biscuits and macaroons in my head and swapped datalog for prolog. Sigh. Biscuits are indeed the cooler one

Still, haven't played with either yet! I know fly.io did macaroons and I'm excited to see more about what you get up to with biscuits :)

Company: We have a monolith!

Me: ...

Company: holds up diagram of 8 services, 15 databases, and a home grown queue implementation

Me: You fucked up a perfectly good distributed system is what you did. Look at that thing, it's got clock skew.

@JuliaRez it's definitely non zero ๐Ÿ˜…

But that's probably more due to so many women leaving tech by 35 from discrimination
