A reminder that it DOES NOT MATTER if you hire more Black people if you don’t ALSO have the tools and culture to support them. They’ll either suffer through it until they find something better or, if they can, leave when they realize you care more about perception than people.

At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.

@jlengstorf Congratulations!! It’s been so cool to watch your videos evolve over time. I love learning along with you!

@bria_sullivan I’m remembering your Render talk from last year. It was valuable because you were so detailed and realistic! I’d love to see the type of content you’d build

@whitep4nth3r I have and it’s incredible 🔥🔥😂

A very subtle way to lose innovation and gatekeep is to only hire internally or from one’s own direct circles.

So much innovation is thinking slightly differently, and paying attention to different perspectives.

Does anyone have a BSL (British Sign Language) lead?

My team has exhausted several avenues to retain a BSL interpreter for a pre-recorded interview for Mon., 5/20 at 10am-11am EST / 3pm-4pm UK.

Please let me know if you know folks who can do that day, or another day in May.

@KR1573N Sounds fun! I’ll pop by if I see you on!

I'm getting laid off at the end of May. I really need a safe place to land. I really enjoy developer experience/tooling work, I've also been working on e-commerce focused teams the past 3 years. Happy anywhere on the stack, remote preferred, US / Washington State based.

Just got back from a week-long overseas trip that I took purely to visit a friend whom I’ve known for more than four years but had never met in person. 😂

@SylwiaVargas Ooh tell me more

100% of the decisions we make about adopting new tools on my team are impacted by quality of the docs

[Aisha Blake @AishaBlake]

@HerbergRadio Oops 😅

[Aisha Blake @AishaBlake]

@shaundai Ah, that’s too bad! But enjoy the rest of your trip and safe travels!
