@jonmasters Over the last 20 years #workingremotely for #RedHat I've lived in 5 states, mostly small towns. Tried a 3 month stint in the office during year 7, just to see what I was missing. They're loud and full of distractions and it lead to a majjor productivity hit.

@BitIntegrity @jwboyer19 @spotrh Is it building on real hardware? People don't get to complain if the thing is on real hardware. On the arm64 simulator? 3. Solid. Weeks. To get to the %files section. Where it then crashed with some trivial file issues. 3. More. Weeks.

@jbeda Completely accurate. If you're managing people do it, put yourself into it, get into flow developing people like you used to develop code. Don't be the giant whose shoulders they stand on: grow giants.

@carlwgeorge @GordonMessmer @benblasco ohai, I don't check twitter much (Maston is much more pleasant), but I will say I have mad respect for people who take the trouble to be informed, then call it like they see it. Carl does this. Also, I've even seem him integrate new information into prior opinions. Amazing!

@jwboyer19 If you could just rant about things for about 20 minutes, then spend another 20 on what actually makes sense, i'd go that to one every time. Followed by 10 minutes of Q&A where everything is treated as a yes/no question.

@johannbg @Det_Conan_Kudo @RedHat Developed, as in additional training, opportunities, responsibilities and so forth. It is a key aspect of career progression. Couldn't disagree more about individuals being expendable. That is some seriously toxic thinking.

@ThatPodcastChap We're all a phone call away dude. Get a good headset and catch up with folks. Lots of people in a similar state due to Covid. You can do somebody a favor by initiating contact.

@jonmasters In Lubbock. Locals came to the airport and picked people up, took us to hotels, offered sofas. Lubbock > American Airlines.

@BrideOfLinux @acruiz The interesting question is not whether IBM did or didn't influence the decision (they didn't), but why Red Hatters are so irritated by the suggestion every time it comes up.

@jzb No, I don't expect protests to do anything: Lawmakers are not moved by conscience. We have to do that which is motivational.

@_msw_ I promise to say nice things if you buy Atlassian, then open source Jira DataCenter. :-) Seriously though, if you want to change the narrative you have to provide a new narrative, backed by action. Senior leadership changes provide a good time to do this.

@BitIntegrity @JeffdotLayton The RHEL8 Beta package set is largely derived from Fedora 28, with pieces from Fedora 29 and misc upstreams such as 4.18

@jonmasters Wait, wasn't that also true *before* Covid? Other than filling cups at a coffee emporium, hanging out is best done at 3mph down boulevards and forest paths.

@harishpillay @dustymabe I sure hope so- talk about unlocking potential! At the same time I wouldn't mind us learning from IBM about organizational scale. RH is 40x larger than when I joined. Growing 30x from here? Incredible.

@Det_Conan_Kudo @mattdm @ibuildthecloud @fatherlinux @brian_g_moore @CentOSProject I think people are picturing something like rawhide, when the reality is there is no point in time when untested work is allowed in. It's why lead time is longer than you'd guess, even for trivial changes.

@ignatenkobrain @Det_Conan_Kudo @terry_bowling @sgallagh_redhat We do this in RHEL on demand for certain libraries: compat-libthis and compat-libthat. In RHEL 8 we've started doing it for select applications as well. Wouldn't it be nice if we could do this for more than a select few?

@vathpela @halfline @katzj These layoffs amounted to double-digit percentages. Some of them were admins who were made redundant through acquisitions, some of them were engineers who didn't like change, some were people in countries we didn't want offices in anymore (where I learned "garden leave")

@sgnj151 @jwboyer19 I replaced an 8th generation i7 NUC with my desktop. It was great at first, but after a couple years it just started overheating no matter what I did.

@ze6erga @abbyfuller CS degrees are great, but you have to know why you want one. If it's only for a job outside of academia there are often other ways.

@ignatenkobrain @Det_Conan_Kudo @terry_bowling @sgallagh_redhat Why is fedora's libfoo different than opensuse's libfoo? Who is that benefiting? I'll tell you who: Everybody who has an incentive to see Linux distributions fail. Because it's a nightmare for developers, a distraction for upstream, and a treasure trove for CVE exploiters.
