Okay I’ve got another hard problem: marinate on this...
How would you solve Conways law for all the open source computing projects?
I talk to a lot of engineers in different layers of the stack and we all know vulnerabilities and bugs happen in between the layers. These are the worst offenders. How do we make our platforms better enable communication between layers of the stack while doing code review?
I’m not just talking for one project, I’m talking from the CPU vendor, firmware all the way up the stack to where your application runs...
So think conways law for the entire open source computing stack... solve that :)
Oh and try to automate, the answer is not simply communicate or docs :)
Put it into a blog post

“I am skeptical of companies who don't really have open source in their founding DNA to do the best thing for the community in the long-run, and I worry that the cloud is just moving us back to a world of proprietary software.” Same. Really good piece from @skamille
In my opinion (depending on the project of course) the projects coming out of cloud providers have less of a use to the more general industry and are more pieces of shit than projects that are derived elsewhere.
It’s more like it’s a play for cloud providers public relations than actually trying to solve a real problem, I found myself asking the people building the projects what problem they were solving time and time again and not really getting great answers.

If there’s anything I’ve learned in my life, it’s that it takes a level of security and self-confidence to be humble, and those who lack that are not worth your time. Insecurity leads to a big ego.
On a different level, maybe someone will find it helpful, as a woman in tech I started my career proving I was smart, now the interaction has changed to me reading if someone is intimidated by me. But hey, that’s not really my job. And if you’ve ever met me you’d realize I’m not.
TLDR; shits weird, people are weirder. And don’t worry too much what other people think of you. Just do the right thing in the moment and have integrity.

I think if I was purchasing a product from a cloud provider the first question I would ask would be: how did _you_ implement this?

You might be curious what you find out :)
“Ask the right questions, and you might find the answers you are looking for.” - yoda or some shit, nah I just made that up
The second question I would ask is what _their_ threat model is for their service, not mine, I’d know mine, but I’d want to make sure they understood theirs.

Today, we are announcing the first release of our technical whitepaper: oscoin.io/oscoin.pdf 🙌

The paper describes Oscoin, a cryptocurrency that rewards open source software projects based on their relative value 👇
The easiest way to think about it is something like Bitcoin, but where a portion of the block reward is distributed to open source projects within the Oscoin network.
To distribute oscoin to FOSS projects we created Osrank. The intuition behind it, is that in order to determine the relative value of a software project in the network, we need to leverage the graph of FOSS dependencies and contributions. Osrank is informed by PageRank /TrustRank

Love it #QConLondon
I like @robynbergeron - she has opinions
Some of this talk is worthwhile... but some of it isn't right... use what is right for you (I think that's what she said)... @robynbergeron

I'm loving this talk. Really fun

X : How to deal with technical debt?
Me : As a rough analogy, I will take liberties, let us start with out Tea Shop example with custom built kettles.
Me : The first thing I do is mark on where things should be ... in this case our operations people are arguing that we should use standard kettles.
I would then add metrics per unit provided (i.e. cup of tea). I will make an awful assumption that the only capital expense is the kettle (i.e. we have depreciation of the kettle) and everything else is variable - paper cups etc.

I'm working on a talk called "build impossible things" about writing a program (rbspy!!) that was outside of my comfort zone. so here's a series of myths about building ambitious-for-you software!
Myth 1: "Ruby has existed for like 20 years. If it were a good idea someone would have done it already."
Reality: Not that many people actually work on Ruby profilers! Those people have different priorities and interests than me!
Myth 2: To build innovative software you have to already be an expert
Reality: Doing a survey of how all existing Ruby/Python profilers worked helped me a LOT to understand the current state of the art and what I could contribute

One thing I worry about a lot is that the rising pressure to “regulate tech” will cause policymakers to create over-broad legislation that doesn’t actually solve problems & instead hurts small companies, nonprofits, & open source/content projects.
There are very real problems with the current state of the internet, especially with the ways information is shared and data is collected. But we need carefully tailored regulations to solve these problems while still allowing for the good parts of the internet to fluorish.
Facebook isn’t Medium. Google isn’t Wikipedia. Twitter isn’t Github. We need legal and policy approaches that recognize these differences and protect the good things we get from both the smaller websites and the larger ones.
