TIL job seekers who reside in the EU (or the UK) can request to see all the interview notes made about them under the GDPR Right of Access.
The employers should keep the notes for (recommended) 6 months.

OSS is about collaboration and not celebrity pageant. I’d prefer if the winner got this money to allocate onto the well-being of their team. Otherwise, we are just perpetuating the “singular genius” narrative when in fact OSS is oftentimes a result of multitude of contributions.
An open-source-maintainer popularity contest seems weird to me. I get that it's probably a marketing tactic (and a smart one) but something about it feels weird.

I’m thinking a lot about my stepfather who owns a small travel agency in a small Polish town.
When all travel froze for 2+ years, he wouldn’t consider layoffs as an option because he feels responsible for the people he hired and because his integrity is important to him.

…and 8 weeks later I’ve done my first continuous 5k 💜
It’s fascinating to see how my endurance changed. In Jan I’d wheeze after a 1,5min jog. Today
@SianGooding
and I were able to run, chat, and laugh for 40 mins. My body got stronger but I also handle discomfort better now.
Inspired by
@wheresnadia
who told me about a runners club in NYC, I joined a London one.
I don't like to rush so, naturally, I don't run but today's first meeting brought me so much joy 💜
For the next weeks I'll be learning to run 5k without imagining the impending doom.

In a 3-person team you get to see how people really work.
I'd known Jani from his work on innovative tech. Here I saw him as an excellent project lead, empathetic diplomat, and experienced technologist who quickly zooms in/out to prevent future problems.
Get him on your team✨

When I taught at a bootcamp, there were so many women who learned to code to be able to afford baseline safety by moving out of their family home or divorcing an abusive husband.
Knowing you don't have to put up with bs and that you will be fine on your own is liberating.
I haven't decided how to write about this yet but 1 year into making 6-figures and I am consistently smacked in the face by how much earning a decent salary has affected my relationship to men and dating as a cis heterosexual woman. I cannot be alone in this.

Exciting news 🥳 Also: we are hiring!
To most, StackBlitz is "just" a mind-blowing technology.
To me, it's also a workplace and a team that balances ambition with empathy, autonomy with collaboration, and hard work with rest. I never thought I could be this happy at work 💕
In March, over 2 million developers & 70% of top OSS maintainers collaborated on StackBlitz. 🤯
Now it's time to take things to the next level.
We're excited to share we've raised $7.9M led by Greylock & GV (Google Ventures):
This is just the beginning!

With everything that's happening in web dev, I keep thinking about how our language shapes our attitudes and actions. If we see a discussion as war ("win", "defend", "battleground", "attack"), it becomes that.

My upstairs neighbor has been learning to sing and play guitar and piano for the past half a year.
His complete lack of sense of pitch or rhythm doesn’t prevent him from an everyday hour-long loud practice of Hey Jude, Life on Mars, and one more I can’t yet make out.
