In the lounge at Heathrow sitting next to two movie producers and they’ve discussing a new movie one of them is making

“A band of mecnaries take a wealthy family hostage without realising who the father is, who’ll stop at nothing to get them back… Santa Claus”

it should be socially acceptable to retweet your own tweets that you thought were under appreciated in their time

an app for horsegirls where they swipe up watching never ending short videos of horses, called Clip Clop

is this the prelude to a terribly predictable romcom where, joined by naught but a surname and an email we fall in love before splitting up bitterly over the configuration of mx records?

less "you've got mail" and more "it took you 10 fucking years to respond to that mail?!"

"the domain is not for sale" and so our decade long dance moves into an exciting, new and yet enigmatic phase.

[Joe Pettersson @Joe8Bit]

spent the last 10 years sending increasingly desperate emails to the person that owns https://t.co/dXcmzzWmMw trying to buy it from them. not once got a response lmao

one of my life’s great disappointments is not being able to come up with a sufficiently good tweet based on the idea of “a telltale blart” a goth horror sequel to paul blart mall cop

[Joe Pettersson @Joe8Bit]

@Superhuman please chill with the video backgrounds at inbox zero, they're SUPER distracting. at least give me a way of turning them off

for like the twentieth time in my career an api call, two cli commands and some awk saved me from needing to spend $10k+ on a saas product

so given the stadia news today, i think i was broadly wrong about stadia and it's importance to google, but i think i was on the money in the thread about why they did it and why it failed

[Joe Pettersson @Joe8Bit]

Interesting article, but I see a lot of the Stadia commentary missing something important: Stadia is an *advertising infrastructure* product for Google (like Chrome or Android) they don't think of it's success in the way many people assume they do (thread)

“i could murder a brew” but you’re in Canary Wharf:

✅ little science beakers
✅ loose leaf “artisanal” tea
✅ a piece of dry ice in the strainer to make it smoke for literally no reason whatsoever
✅ £9.50 lmao

@jesslynnrose @RealCliveBarker You might know this one already but the Murderbot Diaries are great!

[Joe Pettersson @Joe8Bit]

globally normalising compensation is like putting on the hiring infinity gauntlet. massively juicing your ability to hire great people quickly is worth orders of magnitude more than the extra few weeks of runway

[Joe Pettersson @Joe8Bit]

paying global remote engineers doing the same job differently based on local salary levels is a sign you see technology primarily as a cost centre and not a value creator, which is indicative of a bad culture and people should be wary of working for you send tweet

[Joe Pettersson @Joe8Bit]

i mean, i get it, capitalism is gonna capitalism and we all get our solid gold toilets by exploiting the labour of the proletariat, but my argument is that it's not even the best Way To Do Capitalism™
