I disagree that an employer is paying for 40 hours of my time: They're paying for output and results. I think rational employer would concede the same. > Until you get caught It's not as true today, but across 2020/2021 th

In my experience of highly paid tech jobs you're generally on salary and your work is managed by some clueless project manager with some notion of how many points you can accomplish in a week. If you find yourself in that situation, an

Is the ActivityPub spec just as bad, or would it be performant if written in a proper language?

Interesting how this summer all we heard from Musk was how Twitter was overflowing with bots and spam, but now that he runs the place he sure spends a lot of time bragging about all-time high "user" counts.
