My work gives parental leave based on whether they’re the primary caretaker or the secondary one. The primary gets 6 months, the secondary gets 3.

What decider whether you’re primary or secondary? Simple. If your partner is taking more than 3 months they’re primary.

What this means in practice is that for US-based employees pretty much everyone at my company is the primary caretaker since few people’s spouses even have the option for more than 3 months.

Hopefully their plan for software sovereignty includes using a European desktop environment.

Leftover broad is worse. Leftover cheese is edible on its own.

That’s a systemd slurpee.

I need to know more about it. Is this a “you get to be part of the main crew” thing, or just “you exist in that universe?” Because it’d be cool if I could be a Bob-like AI in the Bobiverse, but if I were simply transported into the Bobiverse in 2026 well… I’m not sure I’d even notice.

My very specific niche in programming.

If you ask me about some very common things, I have no clue. JavaScript? More like JavaShit amirite? But if someone can explain OCI layers, describe the boot process of a RISC-V device as it leads U-boot and a Linux kernel, and talk about performance optimisations in modern Python… Well, my team is looking for more developers and this combination of skills seems impossible to find.
