If there are so many great local creameries around why then do you have Kraft and Mars products dominating most of the US stores? Oh I can answer that, it's because the US is a corporatocracy that only cares about profits.

That someone is even pointing this out should give most people in the US a cause for concern. Sadly most people in the US have no idea what real cheese or chocolate actually tastes like.

This is more of a Thomas Kuhn moment than anything else, where the mainstream doesn't accept new theories that will upend their own work.

The relatively recent academy award winning film about animator Ryan Larkin is also mind-blowing:

Incredible. Thanks for posting. This is an amazing podcast episode. What a life she led that was cut way too short.

I'm very sorry to hear this. My she rest in peace.

Are you talking about money or fame? Honestly, I think most folks who work in open source are either funded by some sort of start up or they are independently wealthy and can spend time working on projects that "interests them".

However having said this, I do think that contributing to an OSS project is a great way to get a job in the "real world". <--- whatever that means.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "getting you ahead". It takes a mature and confident organization to implement this type of strategy for sure and allowing people, who are not managers, to make some of the strategic decisions.

Definitely, but the point is that technical people shouldn't feel like they need to take the managerial route to "get ahead". In the same vein, managers should become managers because they are good at managing people and not because they are the smartest people in the room.

This is a re-invention of the wheel. Many companies in the past had non-managerial career paths for technical people, and for some reason this fact, along with many other things, becomes "an innovation" by the current generation.

This is an excellent article on a writer that more people need to know about.

8 hours on a zoom call! That would be a hard pass for me.
