Building apps with #VerifiableCredentials? Or just getting started?
The updated @w3c "Verifiable Credentials Overview 1.1" is a great starting point for #developers and implementers exploring trusted digital credentials. Find out how Controlled Identifiers, JOSE/COSE, Cryptosuites, #JSON Schema and other key specs fit together to help you build interoperable, #privacy preserving digital #identity solutions #GroupNoteDraft

@collective_truth RE: "( I was just imagining if #developers actually gave me more attention towards developing people... and then having to do all of this people work! )" 👈🏻 Why would you need those developers when they are the gatekeepers and the bottlenecks of what you're aiming at?
I wouldn't necessarily want to rely on them. It's great they've put together these tools out there for us to make use of them, but it's more useful to find your own way (= communities & networks).
@elsua54 I think it can literally be a show stopper as you say when it challenges #developer's fear / courage.
( I was just imagining if #developers actually gave me more attention towards developing people... and then having to do all of this people work! )
Would I / the test hold up as I say... or fail ?! :)
It would be an ongoing thing of course. We would measure + have testimony of the people.
I'd be the most respectful but most fear-dispelling person ever !
Fun thoughts of adjustment!

You might be interested to check out my posts around the concept "Community has no boundary" I talked about 5 years ago, e.g. in this topic: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/standardizing-on-a-common-community-domain-as-ap-extension/1353
When I was still facilitator of #SocialHub I claimed that it wasn't a community in any real sense, with mostly #developers driving by on self-interested motives. It was just a discussion #forum, where a poor commons janitor (me) had to do the unthankful volunteer upkeep.
"Expectation mismatch" plays an important role when anyone mentions "community". A "community-driven #FOSS project" is partly the formal #governance that is in place, but mostly implicit cultural aspects. Knowing what you can expect is important, to not get disappointed.
A #fediverse instance to me isn't #community. I only use the Home timeline.
As we navigate fedi we 'weave' in and out of #communities seamlessly, without realizing it. A rich concept of inter-community #Social networking is possible, I think, but it should be carefully designed.
Unicode strings that look the same aren't always the same. The @w3c's "Character Model for String Matching" document explains how case mapping, case folding, #emoji and other #Unicode details affect #interoperability and why specifications should define matching rules carefully #timetogiveinput #FPWD

The goal of this document is to provide a common reference for specification authors, software #developers, and content creators.

Dear #CLI / #TUI application #developers,
Please don't output your -h | --help text to stderr.
Users should not have to foo --help 2>&1 |less just to figure out how to use your program.
Just use stdout.
Thanks.
Shout out to all the developers out there resisting the pull to become a project manager of a team of LLMs.
Your ability to accumulate skills and experience will prevent you from "falling behind" all those who are now spending their days writing markdown and managing slop PRs.
