I do have to put in a word for our labor history though. It’s had wins and losses but it’s always been there and has actually included small-scale warfare between workers and owners. bookshop.org/p/books/a-pe...
If you live in a place with a different tipping/wage culture I have no critique. But yes here employers have successfully outsourced a lot of their wages to customers’ goodwill.
Not sure if you live in the US but the federal minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13 an hour here.

I can now say I'm open to work as a full-stack software engineer with a product focus. I'm a founder with 5 years of startup/small business experience and a doctorate from Yale. Bay Area and open to in-person/hybrid/remote. Reach out if you'd like to reach out!
For almost the past 8 months I've been following a self-taught roadmap for web development and I'm finally "finished". Wrote about the process here. www.natemay.dev/blog/how-i-l...
Python seems to have a community-based approach to governance, although it’s a nonprofit so ownership model is different. e2c.how/python
US-based folks should check out @usworker.coop. My company formed a worker-owned LLC (simpler but less robust than a bona fide coop) with their help and they’ve got great resources and connections.
Nice!
This is the one I looked at www.rewiringamerica.org
I also assumed the server components generated html. Was actually able to look at the source of a production app that uses RSC and see all the script tags loading chunks.
I see a lot of their stuff is open source but not this app, so I'll just have to study it from the outside. Seems to be a Next.js app with Material UI components & Tailwind, but that's about all I can tell. github.com/orgs/rewirin...
It deals beautifully with a lot of complex data and keeps the user ready to take the next step, when it would otherwise be easy to get lost in the weeds.
Among the next steps are to choose your motivations for using the app (save money, reduce carbon footprint, etc.), which presumably changes the hierarchy of info presentation in the rest of the app.
Email validation page that includes buttons for "Re-send validation link", "This email is incorrect", and "Skip this step."
As an example, after I signed up it showed me this screen, which supports four branches in the flow: 1) email validated, 2) resend link, 3) email is incorrect, 4) skip & continue in unvalidated state. That's a lot of work to support edge cases.
Kind of obsessed with @rewiringamerica.bsky.social 's web app. This is a nonprofit (helping you make a plan for switching to solar & electric appliances) and they've pulled off better performance and UI/UX than most banks/ecommerce giants. www.rewiringamerica.org
This thread got me in a deep dive into how server components work--definitely had it wrong in my head so thanks.
I just open-sourced the platform I'm building to house the creative music learning tools I've developed. I'll be posting updates as I go and welcoming feedback. #nextjs #buildinpublic www.natemay.dev/blog/announc...
What if, instead of replacing humans and building shoddy software to solve nonexistent problems, AI-driven productivity boosts were used to make things ~work better~.
What's your source for build in public rules? Curious to check that out.
New blog post about how and why I built Finfetch, an open source transaction downloader. www.natemay.dev/projects/fin...
I just released Finfetch--a free/open source app that allows you to download all your bank and credit card transactions to CSVs with one click. Should be useful if you keep track of your income/expenses in spreadsheets or with #plain-text-accounting software. github.com/natepmay/fin...
Thanks for the tip!
Okay I failed at not implementing this. Refresh and you'll see a share link this time.
Thanks for the catch. Try again now. I just fixed that and also added a bluesky share link.
Weird—I can’t reproduce that on my own ios safari. If I were planning on maintaining this I’d look into it more but for now I’m glad you got it working on firefox.
Thanks for the love everybody! Here's a blog post about it, since you also didn't ask for that: www.natemay.dev/projects/hos...
You're in excellent company.
Nice! I'm *trying* not to work on this project anymore but if I fail at that, this will be how.
