Things Covid has proven:

1. The job you were told couldn't be done remotely can be done remotely

2. Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didnt want them to.

3. Internet is a utility, not a luxury

4. Universal healthcare is necessary

@chicagotribune Can you please post a summary of cases by county in Illinois? It's very hard to find info on which counties have confirmed cases.

[Julie Torres @JulieTorero]

@pushrequest Big companies do, but you have to make the case of how it benefits the company. Managers are more likely to approve it if you plan to teach your coworkers what you learn. That multiplies the benefit.

What would happen if tech and medicine swapped philosophies?

Tech: “First, do no harm.”
Medical research: “Move fast and break things.”

@ianmiell Totally depends on what you’re working on. I used basically all of them in my first role, practically none in my 2nd. If your predecessors haven’t set up any GUI tools, it can be easier to just use command line than to install a bunch of things yourself.

Can we all get together and decide between “else if”, “elsif”, and “elif“? I’m tired of having to relearn if-statements for every new language.

‼️ UPDATED VERSION! ‼️

Bottom left used to say “Do you know when I can expect an update by?” and I took off the top part because it didn’t fit, but forgot to re-read it.

Nice catch, @Andy_Macster! Updated file attached. Thanks for letting me know! 😉

[Dani Donovan 👩🏻‍🎨 ADHD Comics @danidonovan]

Quite a few of you asked if I could make a printable version of this to keep at your desk.

Always happy to help! 😉

@developingjosh You are so much more of a real engineer than someone who is insecure enough about their own skills that they have to put you down.
