this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.
in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.
some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:
- all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
- this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
- don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

I'm now on two completely separate on-call rotations (as a programmer, rather than an IT person proper), and only being paid extra for a fraction of one of them. All this on top of being in charge of way too much code.
Haven't quit yet because honkin' big silicon valley mortgage and all, and if I'm driven off I want severance gosh darn it. Unfortunately my company also can't fire me because like you I'm a single point of failure. I will quit if things end up too annoying though.
