All my carefully laid plans are usually undone in a single fleeting moment…
It’s great to rally support for the Amazon strike, but a lot of the posts I’m seeing talking about it seem incomplete.
In particular, there’s a lot of talk about avoiding Amazon this specific day, July 10. That seems to imply people would be fine resuming any purchases tomorrow? But delaying purchases by a day doesn’t seem like something that would actually accomplish much. Boycotts don’t work if they stop before the company gives in to any demands.
A meaningful boycott of Amazon means being willing to spend weeks or months taking business elsewhere, and having some way of tracking the status of the demands to know if/when the situation changes. It also means having an agreement of what exactly the sort of business to avoid with them entails. That means identifying subsidaries (ex. Twitch) and determining how to handle them, including in more ambiguous situations (ex. watching Twitch streams without directly giving Twitch any money). And it takes time to get a meaningful amount of people on board with all this.
I hope the strike and any boycotting is going well in Europe, but the stuff I’ve been seeing around Tumblr doesn’t seem like it’s currently coherent enough to make much meaningful contribution.
The tiniest spider found its way onto my glasses and decided that would be a nice place to explore. Unfortunately the glasses were still on my face.
I scooped the little lady up real gentle like and set her down on my desk.
The trouble with being a software engineer who is also a writer is when it comes to writing design documents.
As a writer, too much repetition isn’t generally that good of a practice, (unless you’re going for a particular effect) so the interchange of similar words and phrases makes sense.
In technical writing this confuses the heck out of senior engineers who assume that if you refer to something as the “base layer” that’s all it will ever be. Gods forbid you later call it the “base level” and they lose all sense of direction.
