@shanselman RE #hanselMinutes E903.(continued)
Success for any #union help out the other unions. Our union has gone over 400 days without a contract. The employer didn't appear to bargain in good faith until after the #teamsters deal earlier this week.
Success for #sag & #wag can flow down to other unions.

@shanselman RE #hanselMinutes E903.
I was talking to my brother about what it took to live as an actor shortly before the #sag #wga #strike. The life of a working actor is brutal, you can make a living in #LA, but you may need a roommate and be ready to got to Toronto tomorrow for some random job.

@shanselman #camraOn I notice that I feel my #tourettes #tics when I'm on #onCamera.

I'm trying to be on camera more but it is a struggle sometimes.

We are officially an On Camera culture here @ work, but I notice that most of the other #devs don't cooperate either.

Caught up with @shanselman #hanselminutes with @nova yesterday. It was a great episode and I hope they do one together again in the future! https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS9ndnR4VWlJZg/episode/MjE3NDVmMGItOGJjNC00MDBhLTgxYzEtNTBlN2E5NzZlNjE5?ep=14

I’m listening to @nova describe the joy of physical creation on the #Hanselminutes podcast, and it’s reminding me why I got into this wild and wonderful business to begin with. Thank you, gracious overlord - I needed that. #mentalhealth https://hanselminutes.com/872/hachyderms-kris-nova-on-running-a-mastodon-server

On my morning walk today I listened to the #hanselminutes episodes where @shanselman chatted to @nova - at one point they discuss psychological safety and how you shouldn't "flip the bozo bit" on someone for not knowing something you think they probably should know (💯 agreed) . There was a certain element of irony as I had to go and look up "bozo bit" to fully understand the analogy! Really great episode! I've bought Kris' book and look forward to reading it!

Listening to #hanselminutes 872 today with @nova

It was a fun, engaging episode. And then @shanselman seems to dismiss the idea he's an influencer.

Perhaps you don't think of yourself as one sir; but you most definitely are.

@jonskeet Microsoft hired a buy to try and sort out filename length restrictions across the board. I recall a podcast (#hanselminutes or #dotnetrocks) interviewing him. I had high hopes at the time!

Unexpected blast from the past listening to @shanselman interview Mekka Williams. She and I both used the SL-1 language in our first jobs out of college, and we both used it to program telecom equipment.

I was a Bell Northern Research from 1979 to 1983, programming the SL-1 private branch exchange (PBX). I remember debugging by setting breakpoints using a hardware debugging card with 16 red LEDs and 16 switches to specify the address.

@nova @shanselman I have been a long time listener of #Hanselminutes and a new viewer of The @nova show. I am legitimately giddy for these worlds to collide.
It’s like the multiverse but with my favorite nerds.

Anyone compared mastodon/twitter followers? Like:

@robertdmcneill (Voyager Pilot) - twitter: 63.3K mastodon: 1.79K = ~2.8%

@shanselman (#Hanselminutes, etc...) - twitter: 308.3K mastodon: 8.3K = ~2.7%

Categorical cross over make sense. So those numbers being similar isn't surprising.

But, what about folks who play to entirely different audiences? Are there categorical trend lines? Can they be used to watch for a critical mass?

PhD students must be having a field day

Brilliant episode of #hanselminutes with Mark Thompson. We need to reset our mindset, stop worrying and being held back because of what other people may be thinking and take control of our own careers/lives
