"Metrics are absolutely necessary to compress complex phenomena into an easily legible value that can guide decision-making. They are, however, lossy compression, meaning that without context, we can't properly interpret the data." 😍

Pay attention to what gets people promoted. Even if you're not looking for promotion, it shows what the organization values.

We're suing Google for deceiving users and invading their privacy. Our newly unsealed complaint shows even Google employees agree with us:

-Google used dark patterns to trick people.

Wage theft is the biggest stealing crime in the USA but we aren’t fully funding the National Labor Relations Board!! The NLRB exists to protect the rights of workers when we work together on issues like wage theft.
If we starve the NLRB, bosses can keep starving the workers 😤
ALT A graphic of a freaked out looking cat in front of a presentation chart. The chart is titled “WAGE THEFT (when employers steal from employees) and OTHER TYPES OF THEFT” The bars are sorted to size on the following categories of theft: Wage theft: Minimum wage violations: $23.20 billion Overtime violations: $8.80 billion Rest Break Violations: $4.00 billion Off-the-clock violations: $3.20 billion Other types: Larceny: $5.30 billion Burglary: $4.30 billion Auto theft: $3.80 billion Robbery: $0.34 billion (shown as a tiny sliver)

OK, just had a peak teaching experience teaching Tufte's classic mega-rant, "The Cognitive Style of Powerpoint", in my Tech & Design Ethics class. It went SO GOOD and I kinda want to teach it in my intro ethics class now. And I get it way more deeply?

We need to have a serious conversation about how much power high-level techies have to "make change from within" at unethical companies.
It's zero. They have no economic leverage. And the narrative otherwise is abuse enablement. "It'll be different this time, you'll see".

This book will teach and show you how to write minimum viable documentation for your product. No big budgets, no technical writing team, just you and an ambition to help your readers.

We wrote a book! 😱
About 22.5 months and a pandemic ago, a motley crew of tech writers decided to follow our own advice and document how to create good tech docs.
That book is Docs for Developers and it's available RIGHT NOW 👇👇👇
