@YupItsCaitlin Employers could just be transparent about their pay bands. Why does it have to be so hard!?

My favorite part of the day is when Felix runs around the house screaming at our cat. #bestfriends

First lesson learned: always check the calendar invite for the zoom link.

Hello World!! I'm attending a virtual conference for the next two days which means I suddenly have a lot to say.

[Elise @VintageSunset]

@mysallyvalley So many good virgos out there... why even bother with the other signs?

[Elise @VintageSunset]

I'm grateful Felix doesn't yet require homeschooling but he still gets a healthy dose of the Friz from me on a daily basis. Definitely feeling this author's inspo: https://t.co/JqIACjsEiD

Ditto @WashingtonDC_CM I'm getting a 404 from Dropbox.

@mysallyvalley I can see both sides to this. I’m only bothered when the person has more than a cough or the cough is really hacking. But seriously, if coworkers are being passive aggressive, HR needs to know and maybe they can even help facilitate a better wfh policy.

https://t.co/zXDkSHjNha - Thanks for including the section on parenting! I definitely witness these issues even though I'm blessed to work at a startup offering paternity leave... it's still not enough and nowhere near equal to maternity leave.

Sigh... sitting next to a creative in a loud coffeeshop who's having a client call. I can't imagine that's a good user experience for your clients.

Today's surprise inspiration comes from the Whole Foods website... love the pre-loading content animation.

Monday... I yell at you until you go away.

[Elise @VintageSunset]

@double_thunk Spooky!

TIL not to wear an underwire bra to the Berlin airport. 😳

My greatest work triumphs are when real people actually use the things I build! So gratifying to see those GA event numbers uptick.

Things I've learned while hiring devs for jobs 1) there's a tremendous lack of female candidates; 2) women ask for ~20K less than similarly qualified men; 3) NO ONE seems to have a portfolio site anymore

[Elise @VintageSunset]

I was so distraught by the lack of female leads on @TGIFonABC that I started @CallTheMidwife1 Now I’m empowered yet afraid I might have all the STDs.

Today I will give a free year of RubyTapas to any woman in software who wants it. DM me your email. No questions asked so long as your Twitter account seems legit. Especially interested in women just getting started. Tell your mentees, your interns, your code school students.

[Elise @VintageSunset]

@Twitter Sunsets are pretty. Vintage for that sepia tone!
