I’m not well versed in the saints, but I think this is a better origin story than most.

All we need is a tearful prayer, with a vow towards some further action: even if it’s just in a cell for the rest of his life.

And then he is on the same level, in my opinion, of some medieval saints I know a little about.

Could easily be a saint for denied claims and other obstacles in healing.

Thanks for all these gift links btw, it helps a lot of people

I think this is like a parallel situation as seen in the Reddit ceo driving migration to lemmy.

The wp meltdown was destructive and healthy at the same time. A minority of wp users will look into alternatives, which will help make those better to use because the devs get more support, and/or the alternative communities and ecosystems start to grow

It takes being organized and working with others, as a group, to make the change happen.

This seems to be broken in many areas if the world thanks to how much technology has changed, as well as two generations of social upheaval and mass migrations.

Nobody knows how to do this right now, the best that can be done is a day or two of activity in the larger metro areas.

I think people will find their way, but not this year

This seems to be a rare individual who would not have done such except for his own misfortune with his back.

If I learned anything from this, is that most people cannot do any real changes either for health or environment. It has reinforced my cynicism

When I was learning to program in the 1990s, at university, it was easy to get good advice and learning from the printed word: both in books and on websites. I think if I had to start learning all over again, and not be in a good school, it would be very hard for me to do as well.

Today there is too much advice, too many influencers who recently learned whatever they are peddling, too much AI, too many fields of tech.

I think the best way to learn now is how many of us learned decades earlier; use a list of books that are vetted by many ( can find lists here and there, saw one in GitHub last year). And while reading the books read the documentation even if they are gaps in one’s knowledge and the docs are badly written.

I don’t think one needs recent books for many concepts and basics. The wheel has been reinvented many times in the hundreds of tech stacks in use today. And the same concepts will be easy enough to learn in newer docs once a technology and programming set of tools is invested into by the learner.

As for new software engineering ideas and architecture concepts: usually these are reiterated from earlier ideas and often marketed for profit. So older architecture books, refined by several editions, are still best.

Sounds like the nyt cherry picked some influencers to reinforce an opinion that may not be widely shared: that a viable strategy is to give up and do useless politics.

The article vaguely criticizes other movements without giving alternatives.

All posts are filtered, organized and sometimes made by AI, or non AI programs, which will decide which users get shown which posts?

Interesting
