| schestowitz | [18:56] <source> Hmm... I remember all that drama with TJ holowaychuck leaving the NPM scene | Mar 09 01:13 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz | [18:56] <source> Wondering if that was related to Microsoft acquiring NPM | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [18:57] <source> A bit off topic but that whole event seemed strange | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [18:58] <source> Yeah so Alex and I talked a bit about copilot | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [18:58] <source> The way he originally described it to me it sounded like code audit software | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [18:58] <schestowitz> anything I can find out about plans of copilot | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [18:58] <schestowitz> or NPM | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [18:58] <schestowitz> would help | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [18:59] <schestowitz> it's shrouded in mystery | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [18:59] <schestowitz> Microsoft is trying to swallow all the code | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [18:59] <schestowitz> and repos (NPM) | Mar 09 01:13 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-Farewell Node.js. Leaving node.js land | by TJ Holowaychuk | Medium | Mar 09 01:13 | |
| schestowitz | [18:59] <source> So this was a pretty big event | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [18:59] <source> At that point in time TJ had written like 60% of the no JS projects that everyone uses | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [18:59] <source> Mostly by himself | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [18:59] <source> Some people thought he wasn't a real person for a long | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [19:00] <source> Time | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [19:00] <schestowitz> hmmm | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [19:00] <source> Like they thought he was a collective | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [19:00] <source> Completely unrelated to anything I know about Alex | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [19:01] <schestowitz> still interesting | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [19:01] <source> TJ is just a legend and influenced my personal coding style | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [19:01] <schestowitz> npm is a piece for Microsoft's supply chain plan | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [19:01] <schestowitz> they hired from NSA for GitHub | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [19:01] <schestowitz> they can even plant back doors in downloads | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [19:01] <source> There was another issue with the guy who originally wrote node | Mar 09 01:13 |
| schestowitz | [19:01] <source> node ja | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:01] <source> Node js | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:02] <source> He wrote it then quit | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:02] <source> Joyent hired him | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:02] <schestowitz> I know that company | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:02] <source> Ryan Dahl | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:03] <source> Apparently thinks writing node JS was a mistake | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:03] <source> Interesting he's also from Rochester | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:03] <source> Alex is from there | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:03] <source> They're about the same age | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:04] <source> Oh wait, just went to school there | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:05] <source> Npm was acquired by github before the microsoft acquisition | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:06] <schestowitz> I thought the opposite? | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:06] <schestowitz> Can you check? | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:06] <schestowitz> happened about a year after | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:06] <source> I am almost certain | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:06] <source> But not sure | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:06] <schestowitz> unless you know something I don't... | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:06] <source> But this is my recollection based on being a JavaScript person | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:06] <schestowitz> like, if they agreed on it upfront | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:07] <schestowitz> June 2018 ish is MSGItHub | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:07] <source> Oh ok. Thanks for the correction | Mar 09 01:14 |
| schestowitz | [19:09] <source> Yeah tj's complaints about node mostly seemed technical but who knows | Mar 09 01:14 |

| schestowitz | Publication on behalf of the The Hague Staff Representatives (LSCTH). | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | Dear colleagues, | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | #BreakTheBias, is this year’s campaign theme of the International Women’s Day. Bias makes it difficult for women to move ahead. A visible episode to the world was a striking gender bias towards the President of the European Commission. | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | Last year, the President of the European Commission, Ms. von der Leyen visited Ankara to discuss how to resume coordination with Turkey on vital issues. Instead of a chair next to the country’s president, Ms. von der Leyen was relegated to a nearby sofa. Later she shared her thoughts: | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | “My visit to Turkey showed how far we still have to go before women are treated as equals. Always. Everywhere. | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | My story made headlines. But there are so many stories of women, most of them far more serious, that go unobserved. | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | We have to make sure these stories are also told! | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | ("5:34 PM · 26 apr 2021·Twitter Web App") | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | Ms. Von der Leyen’s call for women’s rights goes beyond the quest for equality, it recognizes that anonymous women have stories to be told, concerns to be addressed and dreams to be fulfilled. Everywhere. However, up to now the requested Workplace Gender Equality Diagnosis, the impact of the Childcare and Education Reform on our colleagues’ lives and careers, are just promises. The real obstacles and common concerns are not addressed by the | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | administration, colleagues are not listened to, and your staff representatives' input seems to be superfluous. Our women’s worries are being renegaded to a sofa. Where are the “stories of women” being told? | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | The staff representation would not think of a better way of celebrating International Women’s Day than giving voiceless women the chair at the negotiations table. Always. | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | Staff Representation takes action, strives to break the bias, gives you a voice. | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | Contact us on dhstcom@epo.org and tell us your story. | Mar 09 16:28 |
| schestowitz | In these tragic days of war in Europe, in this international women’s day our thoughts go out to the women of Ukraine. | Mar 09 16:28 |
