@rachelmyers They try and reach out, but in a lot of cases there's like olds or incorrect emails that they reach out to, which don't necessarily get them anywhere

People ask me all the time what brought me to @QuotaPath , and since I’m hiring, I figure this is a great time to share.

I just came across https://t.co/9hcTlyGrMT for the first time in like 15 years. Still running.

If you are looking for an async job, ask the company what they think async means… some think it means providing/giving info and breaking down work in a way that allows you to progress independently and others think it means monitoring you with robots and never talk to you.

@shmeadyy @github I haven’t seen it as much on the profile images because I think folks are more inclined to use photos versus logos…. But as a general rule anywhere I can have an image would transparent backgrounds would be 💖

[Lynn Wallenstein @LynnWallenstein]

Dear @github … if you are going to support dark and light themes and use them as backgrounds behind images (logos for my org) you HAVE to let me have a dark and light version of my logo.

@nickborromeo I am looking at the HORL because I feel like it might prevent me from screwing up too bad. https://t.co/61P1zefulU

I have aged into a person who becomes excited about knife sharpeners. 20 year old Lynn owes my mother an apology for wanting a vacuum for Christmas.

Every once in a while you need a brand new programming language that's really basic and easy to use... And maybe doesn't even do all that much, but is extremely accessible. Any mature language has complexity that makes it too hard to be anyone's first language.

I am done making political contributions in order to "get X done". I will pay after the service has been performed... Like ya know, how everything else works.

Are good at your job as an engineering manager? you will probably find that your bosses want to load you up with “more teams” and “more headcount”. This is totally a trap. More people, more problems. Did a great job? More pain is not a reward. Grow when it makes sense for you.

That time of year where I have to renew all my domains... And look at the list of bad ideas that I had one night that I found a domain for that will slowly expire and some squatter will buy and try and sell back to me.

You can tell I'm really disconnected from kid life in that there's a sign in my neighbor's yard that says proud home of a senior. I saw it and thought to myself."Wow! How nice of them to let us know an old person lives there, I should say hi"

[Lynn Wallenstein @LynnWallenstein]

I am disgusted by the “prayers and moments of silence don’t cut it anymore” news headlines. THEY NEVER CUT IT. This is part of the problem. If you can’t openly admit that nothing has ever been done to help there is no hope to make any progress in the future.
