  • You’re not wrong, and I can’t believe how spot on you are. I do enjoy dev, and it is something I do in my spare time, I did break the family computer by tinkering and Dad did tell me not to do it again, and I’m still chasing that excitement of the “Mr. T” calculator app I wrote in Haskell 15 years ago.

    I think I just want my job to be just a job the days, instead of this pressure to keep growing, learning the latest tech and keeping up with changes, and then needing to have a portfolio or personal projects to show that I’m still capable.

    Maybe I’m just feeling this way at the moment because I’m job searching and it’s so disparaging to be asked what favourite blogs are or the link to my portfolio website or github, or my favourite new feature of language X, and I just think I’m not that person. I’ve tried reading the books in my spare time and setting up an AWS dev account, but I just don’t care.

    Sorry, I just think your post set something off in me about how weird it is that we make this expectation of ourselves only in this industry it seems, and I think the pressure might be a bit unproductive at times.

    Feddit.uk went down for a bit and no one knows why. We’re seemingly back now though.

    There is only one fully privileged admin (the original owner), and they’re not super present. We have two other admins but they’re restricted in what they can do (don’t have access to the server itself I think?, can’t upgrade).

    A couple of users are setting up a new UK lemmy instance in response to this situation. One of those users is very keen for it to be a replacement, hence the posts. Not everyone is on board with it though. It’s been put in hold while they iron some things out.

    It’s not an “official” replacement for feddit.uk in that sense, but it’s another UK instance.
