@roxyska et c'est dans ce genre de cas qu'on est bien content d'avoir Sonar et des linters pour bloquer d'emblée la PR si les standards ne sont pas respectés ou si l'analyse statique relève des incohérences énormes (qu'on aura du mal à voir de nous-même)
@roxyska une PR avec autant de fichiers ça se valide ou ça se décline sans regarder le contenu :
- je décline d'office si je sais qu'il y a trop de fichiers modifiés en regard de la demande, y a forcément un quack quelque part
- ou je valide parce qu'on ne pourra pas vérifier que ça reste stable sans livrer de toute façon.
@maisouvaleweb les juniors vont apprécier, on ne les formait plus assez depuis le covid, maintenant on va chercher à s'en passer. Quelle logique court termiste pour faire un max de bénéfice. Mais dans 5/10 ans on aura une pénurie de senior et des juniors inexpérimentés pour les remplacer, certaines entreprises auront alors du mal à fonctionner.
@TarValanion Infomaniak.ch de mon côté et totalement satisfait.

Les patrons de la tech qui ne mettent pas leurs enfants devant des écrans, une légende urbaine
Une rumeur persistante voudrait que les cadres des grandes entreprises technologiques privent leurs enfants d’écrans. En réalité, ils font face aux mêmes questionnements et hésitations que tous les autres parents.
offf, this story about how Google made google search into a pile of seagull shit hits me hard:
https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/
Around the time of this story, I was living through a similar situation in my work life (on a much smaller scope, of course, WordPress.com first, Tumblr later).
Back in 2019, working on WordPress, I started finding myself, almost weekly, arguing against people who wanted to take the product we were working at and made it worse if that mean they could squeeze 0.1% more revenue from it
The 0.1% figure is not even a random number: I remember this speciffic A/B test on WordPress.com that was declared a success and shipped to 100% of the users because it increased the free-to-paid conversion by 0.1%. Soon after it was released, I found out that as a side effect, it increased the churn of free users by 20 something %,so I called for an urgent rollback and removal of the change. So I was promptly explained that we didn't care about free-users churn, because finance had calculated the average long-term value of the free users to be something like $2 per year, and the increase in conversion was bigger than what we could get from them.
Everything became about growth hacking. Everything became thinly-veiled dark patterns. In our private dev slack channels, we joked that since it was impossible to make it smaller or less conspicuous, the next thing the growth team was going to ask us to do was to make the 'free plan' button flee away from the mouse pointer when the user tried to click it. We kept making our product worse, we kept consciously crippling the cheaper versions so we could force people to move to the more expensive options.
Back then I was the lead of one of the two dev divisions working on WordPress.com, so my job was mainly to discuss what we were going to be doing, when and how. And I was getting drained by a constant state of fight against a constant wave of shit they wanted us to build. So much than by the end of 2020, the CEO quietly told me to follow the growth team plans and shut up or step down.
So I requested to move to tumblr, because I thought the pastures were greener over there. But it was all the same: Adding login walls to what we were pretending to be "the last bastion of the free internet", cramping in embarrasingly obvious money-making schemes disguised as features, and making them silently opt-out instead of opt-in so the less people the possible would deactivate them, having to fend off the pressure from the CEO to make everything algorithmic timelines because, you know, tiktok makes a lot of money and why aren't we, etc etc.
I found myself in a place where building something good that people enjoy using was no longer a priority, but tricking people into generating more money for the company was. And when I looked around me, I could see that happening everywhere else, not only in my company. Experiencing the start of the enshittification years from inside wasn't easy.
And, as in the article, the people who decided to turn the shit-metter up to 200%, have a name, in every case. And these people, no matter if they are called Sundar and Prabhakar or Matt and Mark, are destroying the internet. These people are milllionaires, or billionaries, and are destroying our shared, common spaces to squeeze some extra cash from us.
That's why the fediverse and its principles are important. Because that's how we take back internet from their dirty hands. That's how we make internet resilient against them. That's how we build the commons.

@cquest j'aime bien l'idée :)
Ce matin... deux BOT de scrapping pour alimenter des modèles d'IA/#LLM ont abusé du forum d'@osm_fr
C'est pas la première fois et ça devient vraiment une plaie, surtout quand #ClaudeBot requête les URL de notre ancien #phpBB, remplacé il y a plusieurs années par #discourse
Malgrès plus de 130 000 erreurs 404 rien que ce matin, il continuait à un rythme effréné...
Autre bot albert-bot... de albertai.com (rien avoir avec l'Albert cocorico), bloqué lui aussi.
@FabrysBesson la question est de savoir si Lestat claque toujours autant 😁
