Anyone want a badass senior release manager, experienced in F/LOSS? Bay Area/Remote. I'm so proud of my work at Mozilla, shipping Firefox to hundreds of millions of people around the world. https://linkedin.com/in/lizhenry/ <3

Mozilla just laid off 70 fantastic people. If you can help them - open positions, offering helpful conversations and references, anything else - please say so.

Use #MozillaLifeboat as an umbrella tag for easy finding. (It's already flowing on the birdsite.)

If you've been affected, I'm happy to chat directly. Also have some open positions (see rest of this thread). But doesn't have to be today - take time to recover if you can.

Most of all: thank you folks for making the web better.

me: working from home gives me the opportunity to focus on tasks free from the the distractions of a noisy office!

I personally like that people are open-sourcing messy code. that's what a lot of real, practical code looks like. "good code" is an American-dream-like illusion that is used to sell textbooks.

The doorbell rang. A large stone, twice my height, stood just outside.
"Not through the house," I said. "Go around the side."
I didn't see it move. You never do. But when I checked the garden it was there, in a circle with the others.
The next morning they were all gone again.

the destruction of for-profit publishing and, frankly, any antagonism of capitalist ambition toward academic scholarship is essential to our collective future and I hope we continue to cultivate interdisciplinary solidarity around this moving forward
