call me an SRE but "the hr manager decided to resign over a single workplace policy decision" is the bare minimum of investigation and accountability with no guarantee that future events of this kind will be handled well, and no investigation into potential past events, either

✨just a friendly reminder that the idea of "unskilled labor" is a myth perpetuated by the wealthy in order to justify poverty wages and when you parrot it to your fellow workers you are actively undercutting your own worth✨

This is exactly the sort of backlash that I've spoken about, and part of the reason that I think that the #embedded industry as a whole is "stuck in the stone age". To disdain someone for sharing knowledge is such a disservice to the industry, and those who aim to improve it.
I did something unusual with the linker script: I wrote it as a reference and I wrote it inline in the comments in the file. This is in contrast to most of the educational stuff I do- that's generally written as guided instruction through an article, blog post, or video.

Will no longer read posts with “considered harmful” in the title.

Seeing Reddit moderation culture reminds me of internet forum culture in the early 2000s: an intense focus on formal rule-following, rather than informal "what's good for the community" best judgment approaches.

"Don't self-promote, ever" is an easy rule to enforce, but has weird effects and is likely overkill for the goal of "don't spam our community with low-effort content where you don't engage." Compare Lobsters to most subreddits on this point (Lobsters has its own issues though).

Moderation is hard, mods are volunteers, and all these things have trade-offs. I personally find Reddit's general moderation culture more irritating than alternatives.

Elitist jerks like to attribute content that's written in a way that can be understood by inexperienced people as being written by someone who is also inexperienced.
