@Starbucks after a disappointing cup of coffee yesterday (a mocha latte that was missing the chocolate) the team nailed it this morning — plus it tastes good.

@bears_43 @GergelyOrosz My point was not that they still use it, just that they blamed they inability to deal with harassment on Twitter on Rails. The problem then was their inability to effectively scale and ship. Read the article, a lay person would vindicate them. An engineer will see through the BS

@philnash Shocked! Twilio and all of us who use Twilio were better because of you (especially us Rubyists). Take a minute to relax, I am sure you will be on to something new in no time.

@nateberkopec And this is why NewRelics new business model is doomed.

@penelope_zone If you have not already take another test. If you get bloody noses and had any blood in your nose at the time it can lead to a false positive on many of the antigen tests. Lots of people with colds getting false positives because of this.

20 pieces and we are just on the first 2 bags.

Thanks @LEGO_Group for ruining my sons Christmas. His one gift he was looking forward to is missing a ton of pieces and he can’t build it Christmas morning. We have had a missing or damaged piece, but nothing like this. This is insane.

[Jonathan De Jong @SmarterSoftware]

On top of that all the replacement parts are out of stock. Insult to unjury.

[Jonathan De Jong @SmarterSoftware]

@penelope_zone That’s awesome! Congrats!🎉🍾

A little weird to be back at a big conference again but so excited to learn this week @AWSreInvent @helloGLOBO

[Jonathan De Jong @SmarterSoftware]

Goodbye #RubyConf2021 it’s been real!

[Jonathan De Jong @SmarterSoftware]

@penelope_zone Yup. Been up at 4:30 (if not before) every day. And struggling to stay up past 9. It’s crazy. Never had this happen before.

[Jonathan De Jong @SmarterSoftware]

@penelope_zone It’s your British wit. That’s what got in the way there.

[Jonathan De Jong @SmarterSoftware]

@ChloeCondon @tsmith This is legit the best thing I have seen all day. Nailed it is an understatement.

[Jonathan De Jong @SmarterSoftware]

@acossta @tylerwells Congrats @acossta and @tylerwells ! You guys will do great!

My favorite part of #AskYourDeveloper, the new book by @jeffiel, CEO of @twilio, is the constant reminder that developers are *people*, not mythical beasts or troglodytes or, worse, "resources" 1/5

[twilio @twilio]

In #AskYourDeveloper, @jeffiel shows business leaders at every level how to unlock growth and innovation while empowering their talent. - @Padmasree

@ashishkjha I was just thinking about this today. They should have built software to manage this. An AI that can identify risk and know vaccine supply to match a vaccine site with people. As vaccine is shipped, people are queued up. That way there is no cognitive load on people.
