Two decades ago today, DTrace integrated into the operating system. Much has changed in the last 20 years -- but one thing has remained true: we ourselves still use it on a daily basis. With your forgiveness, a short thread... 1/

I wrote about the idea of craft -- a concept I've been hearing a lot lately in conversations about software work and often find myself wrangling with. But it also turned out to be about my grandpa. In a year of many losses, I have been thinking a lot about those I love and try to take with me in everything I do.

It started with me opting not to keep smart lights when I moved. I found the routine of pressing physical switches more rewarding than the tap of a touch screen. I've since gotten into vinyl, and film photography. I still stream music, and I still take photos with my iPhone when it's more convenient, but I find the physicality of analog devices uniquely rewarding.

The fragmentation among friends that follows Twitter’s collapse is exactly the kind of problem that Mastodon and the social web solves for. Imagine that you don’t have to pick and choose which new platform to adopt, or make and maintain a million accounts—because you can follow anyone regardless of which platform they’re on. That’s our reality.

It's so much easier to set up certain mons for raids now that you can transfer them back to gen 8. I have a ton of extra random cash/xp candy in those games just from shiny hunting during dynamax event raids
Money's a lot more scarce for me in gen 9 since the event raids are 1 and done things where you catch a single powerful opponent and move on.

Dunno about you but that suits my ass to a 'T'. I hate it when soulless corporations read over my shoulder.

The moral of this story about a developer who helped the team by pair programming and coaching junior engineers at the expense of his own individual metrics is “you shouldn’t judge a fish by how well it climbs a tree.”
Unfortunately companies tend to standardize on performance review systems that are easy to measure. So there are often people who add a ton of value who end up penalized by the system.
