On my late night walk I was so frustrated on how I've been golfing for a year and feel like I've barely improved

Then it dawned on me that I've only really played 10 full 18 hole games. Practice at the range was a lot but if I don't know what I'm doing wrong it was wasted time

Oh shit my hair is long enough to fully be a ponytail with no loose pieces 🙏

[Mathew McKinney @MMathew93]

I've recently opted into doing some New Year's resolutions for the first time ever

I've always thought they were a bit silly since it's up to you as the individual to commit and do them, but I figured if I write them down and post it note them all over it'll remind me to do them

Chinchillin at AWS Re:Invent 2023, hit me up

[Amir Rajan @amirrajan]

Last day to get a commercial license to DragonRuby Game Toolkit for free \o/

[Mathew McKinney @MMathew93]

Why do people have to be so difficult in daily scrum meetings?

Holy shit get me out of here.

@CJDesiderio Saaaaaaame

[Mathew McKinney @MMathew93]

I was so confused why I kept seeing this stupid X on my notifications today.

I've now realized that the bird is dead. Good thing I can still tweet.

[Mathew McKinney @MMathew93]

Oh shi waddup

[Mathew McKinney @MMathew93]

@ninja_muffin99 Bro I have the same issue. I leave 'test' variables in all the time LOL

[Mathew McKinney @MMathew93]

@Escamilla_J3 Depends on the context, but adding personality to a resume or letter IMHO is a good thing

[Mathew McKinney @MMathew93]

@Escamilla_J3 @DThompsonDev 100% yes

Worst case they tell you no, best case they like you enough to give you an opportunity or hell even a different position

[Mathew McKinney @MMathew93]

I tweet therefore I spout off nonsense

[Stella Soe @stellasoe89]

Happy 30th Birthday 🎂 #Ruby
