Marco Arment made some good arguments for keeping podcasting open versus what Spotify and others are trying to do these days. Worth a read: https://marco.org/2019/04/27/overcast-clip-sharing
Chris Aldrich mentioned it was his #indieweb anniversary today, which made me wonder when I first encountered indieweb. Turns out it was six years ago! I remember being excited about the idea of federated comments. I had no idea I would be getting involved with the community for years to come, though. In that time, I've organized some meetups, traveled to several IndieWebCamps, and even co-organized an IndieWebCamp. I've met a lot of great people through it all and have had a lot of fun. I've made some good improvements to my site and learned things that have helped my professional web work, too.
You should join us! Check out indieweb.org, say hello in the chat, and join us at the IndieWeb Summit this June in Portland.
@aaronpk So many lessons in the Mythical Man Month that people insist on re-learning the hard way. This book should be required for any CS major: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheMythicalMan-Month
Somehow, Iโm not even a little surprised Samsungโs $2600 phone โ that folds in half โ is having major hardware problems.
