@elonmusk I think about this all the time with mobile devices. When I’m at a stadium or concert I feel like I’m at a data center. I’m not sure why we don’t have micro transactions yet for people to rent out cycles on their phone.

@NETGEARhelp when are you rolling out a wider patch for the RBR50 so we can access the admin? I shouldn’t have to buy a support ticket on your buggy firmware update or factory reset.

@DanGrover I ended up picking a third option. Assessing if stress was a mirage. I read about Stoics and Buddhism.

Wrapping presents is a lot like writing software. It can be beautiful, I can be ugly, improves with practice, needs large blocks of time, and in the end be deprecated to the trash.

@umanagineer @render Congrats @umanagineer 🙌

@patrickc I’m sure you get this a lot but it’s worth a shot. What about offering a “round up” donation as an opt-in option for SAAS subscriptions where it benefits core OSS projects?

In May, @staceyabrams⁩ told ⁦@19thnews⁩’ ⁦@emarvelous⁩ that voting by absentee ballot was “the first step to reclaiming our democracy,” and that “we have to have proof that this works for November.”

@chamath I think about #3 a lot and I keep coming back to the fundamentals of “greater good theory”. Is it lost on us? Cities voting blue is a indicator to me that this lives. For the rest, maybe greater good thinking is still there, but only for who look and talk like me.

I worked for both Netflix and Slack, wrote a book on programming, gave several acclaimed tech talks and built the profiling tool for a major frontend framework.

I don't have a degree, nor do I apply to jobs that require one. Just take the requirement off.

Hey Twitter, are we going to see more 10x developer memes? https://t.co/kCl8DIMa0K

Writing software is a pure creative activity.

I don't have a CS degree...or any degree. Some of our best engineers at GitHub never even graduated high school. But also, some of them had a BS, masters, or PhD in CS. Amazing programmers come from all backgrounds. Using formal education as a hiring filter is nonsense.
