I think the biggest blind spot in FOSS is that for most people most of the time, computers aren't liberating or empowering at all, they're just in the way. They're an unwanted layer of complexity that's been forced into the gap between them and whatever they're trying to get done.

We've had a chance to microdose on that experience with the proliferation of silly IoT widgets - wtf is this, why is there a computer here I'm trying to make toast - but IMO haven't really absorbed the core lesson.

TL;DR: In a thought-provoking keynote at the 2026 CAPAL-ACBES conference, insights were shared on confronting challenges in the academic library landscape, emphasizing the need for innovation and adaptation amidst evolving societal needs. https://librarian.aedileworks.com/2026/07/02/now-is-the-time-of-facing-monsters/ 🤖 #autosum

Well, I just got let go from my job after 2.5years so it’s time to find the next thing.

I have almost 30 years experience with #PHP and for many years was one of the community’s loudest voices about testing and code quality.

I like helping teams turn business requirements into working software and refactor applications and modernize them to conform to patterns and practices that lead to better outcomes.

I am looking for 100% remote roles where I can use my PHP (with a bit of Python ) skills to help your project get better.

I am in the North American Eastern time zone and have dealt with jobs where folks were both in EU time zones and North American Pacific time zone.

I am eligible to work in Canada and I also have a consulting business so non-Canadian companies could use me.
