a long time ago i followed @sgillies blog and the moment he announced he had left a job we hired him to work at mapbox, a major coup. now is the time for you to do the same thing for your company, i guarantee you will not regret it: https://sgillies.net/2026/04/24/laid-off.html
Laid off
Welp, I'm joining the ranks of the unemployed tech workers again. As before, I'm in a good situation. I don't depend on my former employer for health insurance. I've got some severance and savings, my family is in good health, we have a roof over our heads, and I have good connections. I don't feel afraid. But maybe I should? The job market is worse than last time this happened to me. I've seen experienced and talented people go for weeks and months without offers, and read some harrowing stories about what under-employment looks like for older tech workers these days. After a little detour into the biomedical field, I'm looking to get back into helping to solve important geospatial problems. If you've got them, please let me know.

I’m excited to introduce OpenGeoPub (opengeopub.com), a new platform designed for geospatial learning and publishing. The goal is simple: bring books, video courses, and hands-on lab assignments together in one place, with flexible pricing and lifetime access.

i think the 2005-2015 era open source boom was built on a nice job environment where people had a little free time and employers believed in creativity the free time dried up, everyone burned out, 2015-2025 open source has been explicitly targeted toward getting funding & making money. what's next?

Recent tiny blogpost. I mourn Twitter-that-was, and a culture of working in public beyond just the sharing successes and announcements that I see on LinkedIn. matthewrocklin.com/fail-in-public (although admittedly this probably is less relevant to the BlueSky crowd)

The uv build backend is now stable, and considered ready for production use. An alternative to setuptools, hatchling, etc. for pure Python projects, with a focus on good defaults, user-friendly error messages, and performance. When used with uv, it's 10-35x faster.
So now there is the 2day AI4EO symposium in Renne in Sep 25 (previously 3 times in Munich organized by TU Munich), and new 1.5 day ML4Earth in Bonn also in Sep 25, directly organized by TU Munich. What's up with that.

At Living Planet Symposium next week. Looking forward to lots of ML&forest sessions, but also the random "I have 0 clue about this but it's awesome" volcano, ice etc session. That makes #LPS25 so great. Would love to meet some new people for coffe chat and learn new things! Just ping!
ah yes, you were using gemini-4o-xx1-beta-2, of course you got bad results, you have to use openai-o3-mini-xxl and toggle on the 'do it good' button
I'm looking for any info about how & why it was decided to use the Space Shuttle do create SRTM in 2000 A few questions I have: - How of the world had we mapped in 3D before 2000? - Why the Space Shuttle over a dedicate satellite (or pair of satellites) - How the data was processed
