Email mastodon+swiley@swiley.net (this makes all of my computers beep and turn on an indicator light and is always the fastest way to reach me.) I was on octodon a while ago but abandoned my account. I've never been a member of gab or parlor.
If you’d like to learn to program I would consider the SICP [1] more or less the peak of American CS pedagogy (at least as far as beginners go) along with “The Practice of Programming” once you get through that.
I play ukulele, I’m ok at reading music and decent at improv. I learned from Walter Piston’s “Harmony” and some of Adam Neely’s videos.
My main phone is a pine phone so if I don’t pick up when you call the battery is probably dead, the modem is probably dead, or I’m currently swearing at calls/pulseaudio/alsa. I’d strongly recommend sending an email instead.
Dispite what my web page says I’ve stopped uploading my scratch projects to GitHub once I started to understand the basics of collaboration with git. I was using the flamegraph as gamification/motivation but it doesn’t work as well with feature branch/squash merge workflows so I just keep most things on my VPS until I’m happy with publishing updates.

Today's open source take:
You do have an obligation for support if you're aggressively pushing alternatives out.
You do not have an obligation otherwise.
There are people demanding others in OSS work for worse than exposure.
Exposure, except no one will ever hear of you.
But you get to be a CoRneRsTonE Of the ComMunItY 🤡

@johndolph All of this stuff is constantly teetering on the edge of annihilation. Any more staff than is needed for that and a small buffer because hiring and other stuff is hard would be wasteful.
If 20%-30% of the tech workers leave there won't be any more internet.
