I remember all that drama with TJ holowaychuck leaving the NPM scene [01:13] schestowitz [18:56] Wondering if that was related to Microsoft acquiring NPM [01:13] schestowitz [18:57] A bit off topic but that whole event seemed strange [01:13] schestowitz [18:58] Yeah so Alex and I talked a bit about copilot [01:13] schestowitz [18:58] The way he originally described it to me it sounded like code audit software [01:13] schestowitz [18:58] anything I can find out about plans of copilot [01:13] schestowitz [18:58] or NPM [01:13] schestowitz [18:58] would help [01:13] schestowitz [18:59] it's shrouded in mystery [01:13] schestowitz [18:59] Microsoft is trying to swallow all the code [01:13] schestowitz [18:59] and repos (NPM) [01:13] schestowitz [18:59] https://medium.com/@tjholowaychuk/farewell-node-js-4ba9e7f3e52b [01:13] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-Farewell Node.js. Leaving node.js land | by TJ Holowaychuk | Medium [01:13] schestowitz [18:59] So this was a pretty big event [01:13] schestowitz [18:59] At that point in time TJ had written like 60% of the no JS projects that everyone uses [01:13] schestowitz [18:59] Mostly by himself [01:13] schestowitz [18:59] Some people thought he wasn't a real person for a long [01:13] schestowitz [19:00] Time [01:13] schestowitz [19:00] hmmm [01:13] schestowitz [19:00] Like they thought he was a collective [01:13] schestowitz [19:00] Completely unrelated to anything I know about Alex [01:13] schestowitz [19:01] still interesting [01:13] schestowitz [19:01] TJ is just a legend and influenced my personal coding style [01:13] schestowitz [19:01] npm is a piece for Microsoft's supply chain plan [01:13] schestowitz [19:01] they hired from NSA for GitHub [01:13] schestowitz [19:01] they can even plant back doors in downloads [01:13] schestowitz [19:01] There was another issue with the guy who originally wrote node [01:14] schestowitz [19:01] node ja [01:14] schestowitz [19:01] Node js [01:14] schestowitz [19:02] He wrote it then quit [01:14] schestowitz [19:02] Joyent hired him [01:14] schestowitz [19:02] I know that company [01:14] schestowitz [19:02] Ryan Dahl [01:14] schestowitz [19:03] Apparently thinks writing node JS was a mistake [01:14] schestowitz [19:03] Interesting he's also from Rochester [01:14] schestowitz [19:03] Alex is from there [01:14] schestowitz [19:03] They're about the same age [01:14] schestowitz [19:04] Oh wait, just went to school there [01:14] schestowitz [19:05] Npm was acquired by github before the microsoft acquisition [01:14] schestowitz [19:06] I thought the opposite? [01:14] schestowitz [19:06] Can you check? [01:14] schestowitz [19:06] happened about a year after [01:14] schestowitz [19:06] I am almost certain [01:14] schestowitz [19:06] But not sure [01:14] schestowitz [19:06] unless you know something I don't... [01:14] schestowitz [19:06] But this is my recollection based on being a JavaScript person [01:14] schestowitz [19:06] like, if they agreed on it upfront [01:14] schestowitz [19:07] June 2018 ish is MSGItHub [01:14] schestowitz [19:07] Oh ok.

[16:28] schestowitz Dear colleagues, [16:28] schestowitz #BreakTheBias, is this years campaign theme of the International Womens 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. [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 countrys president, Ms. von der Leyen was relegated to a nearby sofa. Later she shared her thoughts: [16:28] schestowitz My visit to Turkey showed how far we still have to go before women are treated as equals. Always. Everywhere. [16:28] schestowitz My story made headlines. But there are so many stories of women, most of them far more serious, that go unobserved. [16:28] schestowitz We have to make sure these stories are also told! [16:28] schestowitz ("5:34 PM 26 apr 2021Twitter Web App") [16:28] schestowitz Ms. Von der Leyens call for womens 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 [16:28] schestowitz administration, colleagues are not listened to, and your staff representatives' input seems to be superfluous. Our womens worries are being renegaded to a sofa. Where are the stories of women being told? [16:28] schestowitz The staff representation would not think of a better way of celebrating International Womens Day than giving voiceless women the chair at the negotiations table. Always. [16:28] schestowitz Staff Representation takes action, strives to break the bias, gives you a voice. [16:28] schestowitz Contact us on dhstcom@epo.org and tell us your story. [16:28] schestowitz In these tragic days of war in Europe, in this international womens day our thoughts go out to the women of Ukraine.
