       Oh look, another software anarchist, how original.I'm part of a small software consultancy co-op based in Copenhagen. I wish I didn't have to toil under capitalism, but here we are.I'm trying out the #fediverse experience to see if I can find more of a sense of community than the very Personal Brand focused Dunking of Twitter.So far, it's felt pretty welcoming on here: lots of people, lots of tips on how to get started. But I have yet to find My People on here. #introduction #introductions

       I'd like to find a community of other people in #tech, maybe people who are interested in talking about things like #cloud alternatives, #cryptography, or #softwaredev processes (like #agile, I guess), #programming. I haven't found too much of that on here. Point me at the good discussions and knowledge sharing, if you know where it is!Look, software isn't everything, and I'm sure I'll get into some other stuff on here, but the above is what I haven't found yet.#introductions #introduction

       I absolutely hate for us in the software industry that we have no strong, well-defined foundation.That's why even before LLMs, we picked practices by sort of squinting at a description of them and going "yeah, seems right to me".Most software was terrible before, now it's more terrible, faster.Lots of human creative energy went to our industry to be wasted, now we waste more, faster.Absolutely embarrassing state of affairs, honestly.

       Here's a wonderful post by @baldur on the schism in the industry that leads some to embrace LLMs while others reject them, in the vein of the above toot: https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2026/the-two-worlds-of-programming/

       @libreoffice > which might feel like an unfairness to some, even though it isn’t.Pack it up boys, problems solved. You may have felt there was a problem, but there simply wasn't.

       @tante DHH moving back to Denmark (and being lauded as a SV innovator) and immediately bringing his SV racist mindset to bear on Danish (and European) politics is genuinely one of the worse things happening to Danish politics in recent times... everyone keeps inviting him to give his take, no Danish journalists are being any kind of really critical of him
