Hi Mastadon, how have you been? Sorry, I've been on Bluesky a bit lately and generally ADHDing and forgot you existed. I'll make up for it!

In the meantime, my new site went live. I'll start sharing my blog with thoughts and code snippets on here now!

This is where they will appear.

codewordcreative.com/blog/

codeword: creativeCreative Bits: Dev blog about sustainable web dev and techCreative Bits is where you'll find green dev and writer Rose Newell's latest ADHD hyperfocus deep dives into wherever the current focus lies.

Thinking about starting a & blog, because I haven't seen one which aggregates news yet (like wptavern.com/ e.g.). I see lots of stuff on LinkedIn every week.

But blogs are a bit left behind nowadays (Getting into YouTube Shorts would maybe generate more awareness for the topic). And it's time consuming + it's connected to the big lost fight for 1,5 / 2 degree celsisus: You have to beg Mega Corps like Google, Amazon & Co to take action = can be depressing. 🤷🤔

Hey! Has anybody here already read "Building Green Software" by Anne Currie, Sarah Hsu, Sara Bergman by chance? Or has someone taken the (free) course "Green Software for Practitioners (LFC131)"?

I’d love to dive a bit deeper into green coding & green web after I started with by Tom Greenwood a few years ago + saw the talk „Fooled by the Website Carbon Calculator” by Roberta Haseleu + read inspiring blog posts by @fershad 1/

Currently at the crossroads of figuring out a new job pathway, ...

- I really liked working with craftcms, this would mean trying to get another - potential stressful - agency developer job.

- Also I would love to work towards a purpose (as developer), like „fighting the climate emergency“ - but these jobs are not advertised (yet?)

So „follow your passion!“ does not work as Rutger Bregman stated here as well:

InstagramRutger Bregman auf Instagram: "It's become standard career advice: follow your passion! Millions of job coaches help us to look inward and find our ultimate 'purpose', so that we can do 'what we really want'. To be honest: I think this is terrible advice. All this navel-gazing is not what the world needs, and I wonder whether it's even making people happier. Gandalf never asked Frodo: 'What your passion, Frodo?' He said: 'This really needs to happen, and I think you can do it!' So, a much better question to start with would be: what are the biggest problems in my community, in my country, and in the world, and how can I make a substantial difference? Someone who's done exactly this is Lucia Coulter, co-founder of one of my favorite organizations, the Lead Exposure Elimination Project. No, fighting lead poisoning wasn't always Lucia's dream or 'passion'. But she and her colleagues did the research and discovered a couple of essential facts: (1) one in three (!) children worldwide have too much lead in their blood, (2) more than half of all countries have no regulations on the use of lead in paint and (3) this problem is both super neglected and solvable. So what did they do? Lucia and her team started buying and testing paint from stores in Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Angola, Sierra Leone, Bolivia and Pakistan, and have already convinced the Malawi government to more strictly regulate the lead content of paint. That is estimated to save thousands of lives. Now, I don't think there's EVER been anyone whose answer to the question 'What is your passion?' was immediately: regulating lead in paint! But the things we care about can change as we learn more about how the world really works, and what is most needed. And if we want to discover that, we don't need more introspection, but - as the philosopher Roman Krznaric calls it - more 'outrospection'. Or in other words: find yourself a Gandalf, and then make this world a wildly better place. And yes, Lucia is now very passionate about regulating lead in paint! 😄"5,538 likes, 101 comments - rutger_bregman am October 14, 2024: "It's become standard career advice: follow your passion!
