If you're hearing a lot about the fediverse these days, you should know: Mastodon is not the whole fediverse and the fediverse is not simply a Twitter replacement. The fediverse is an entire ecosystem, built on something called ActivityPub. Learn more: eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/le…

#TWTechRadar events about the latest edition in Germany: Tomorrow, Nov 8, in Munich, Nov 10 in Hamburg and Stuttgart, Nov 15 online and in German thoughtworks.com/events thoughtworks.com/radar
The 2 things I like most about the Mastodon hype:
1. Attention to one of the many approaches to decentralization other than web3’s blockchain-hammer-for-everything
2. Saying toot and tröt invariably makes me smile,especially after reading Eugen Rochko say „I’m just bad at naming“

.@mikemasonca and I hosted an interesting conversation with @boicy and @martinfowler about the unavoidable force that is Conway's Law, and why "software architects need to think about IT organization design"
Conway's Law is an enduring issue in software development that needs to be continually reckoned with. We discussed what it means today on the latest Technology Podcast episode (featuring @boicy and @martinfowler) thght.works/3zILGUc

An interesting analogy for software maintenance by @eferro (eferro.net/2021/02/basal-cos…) sparked some good discussions among us a year ago, which we finally got around to putting in a podcast episode
Really enjoyed helping get the latest @thoughtworks Tech Podcast episode live — it's a great discussion between @neal4d, @georgina_not, @birgitta410 and @boicy on maintenance and complexity (among other things) thoughtworks.com/insights/po…

Carbon offset, on the BLOCKCHAIN. With a "Goddess Nature Token". By Adam Neumann, of WeWork fame. Raised $70m. 🤷♀️
"Remember: if you don’t understand crypto products ..., you are forced to rely on the judgments of celebrity investors like A16Z to guide your financial decisions"
Is this satire or what? Unfortunately the story (though not the deal) is for real. WeWork founder raises $70m for blockchain-based, ‘voluntary’ carbon credits by @doctorow link.medium.com/9WaoKDAxnqb

CUPID properties instead of SOLID principles: "Principles are like rules: you are either compliant or you are not. This gives rise to “bounded sets” of rule-followers and rule-enforcers rather than “centred sets” of people with shared values."
