It's always been hard to make a living as a writer, but in 2024, it's harder than ever. Dirt has published this depressing but essential essay by David Hill, a union organizer turned author, on the grim reality of writing life. "At the time the National Writers Union was founded [in 1981], $1 a word was considered a bare-minimum rate for freelance writing ... Today it is no longer considered the floor, but a ceiling."

@CultureDesk @bookstodon “I wrote maybe the best thing I’ve ever written in my life and sold it (and all rights in perpetuity) to Vice for $100.”

That’s rough.

Hey friends,

Today's review is of Olympus XA2 — a camera I was hoping would bring me joy the original XA couldn't:

Alas, it didn't. Though its lens is undeniably good, the odd shutter button design and a frustrating clamshell trigger made it unlovable. Sigh.

@chris undeniably pretty! That's why I keep trying. Maybe the next one is better 😅

In five years time, some CTO will review the mysterious outage or technical debt in their organisation.

They will unearth a mess of poorly written, poorly -documented, barely-functioning code their staff don't understand.

They will conclude that they did not actually save money by replacing human developers with LLMs.
