mastodon 4.7.3Free Software hacktivist · https://bluehats.world 🧢
After eight years of promoting #FreeSoftware in public administration, I’ll soon be leaving @numerique_gouv@social.numerique.gouv.fr

I’m passing the torch to all the #BlueHats 🧢 out there, and I’m thrilled to be joining a new adventure with Software Heritage @swheritage@mstdn.social
Lu aujourd'hui dans un article au sujet d'un "hacker":
« Sur son bureau, l’écran de son ordinateur affiche des milliers de lignes de code. »
Wouah... des milliers ! J'ai compté, j'arrive au max à 76 lignes... mais bon, je ne suis pas un "hacker" 🙃
What's if you could ~$ git clone SWHID?
"You’d end up with git clone as a content-addressed fetch primitive rather than just a URL fetch, which is an interesting building block for reproducible builds and supply chain verification."

Back when writing specs took longer than writing code, people: "Don't write specs! Be agile!"
Now that writing code by hand takes longer than writing specs, the (same?) people: "Don't write code! Be prompt!"
I love how laziness is still functional.
