@jesse_welles what is this beautiful Friday morning surprise??

A/B testing the entire vibe huh? It's gone be hard to choose.... Thanks for putting in double the effort to polish these songs up so beautifully. What a prolific prophet this guy is. Can't wait to see the tour!

[Cmd/Ctrl] [Shift] [A] in Chrome/Chromium is the best! Center of my Internet browsing life. Apps: PLEASE do not intercept this key combo.

I'm looking at you @SlackHQ and @Google Messages!

@Firebase I'll wait for the @fireship_dev video...

[Steve Shaffer @__shaffer]

Sending love to folks at @CrowdStrike. It seems to be where all the best and nicest software engineers I meet in OC end up. Really tough break. Take a deep breath, we'll all get through this and so will you.

@ryanarey I had no idea it came out

@geo_spatialist you ever considered doing a 3D map of Catalina Island off California's coast?

Wait I'm sorry... Does the first verse of N'Sync's turn-of-the-millenium masterpiece "It's Gonna Be Me" rely on a misunderstanding of the meaning of Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry"?

I managed multiple engineering teams before quitting big tech.

Now that I quit, I can speak freely.

Here are 12 things your manager may not be telling you, but I know for a fact will help you. 👇

@mcmillen I'm any case I think I agree that there's significantly less value in "the news of the day" than society seems to afford it. At least less value in moving society forward. It seems advertisers do find a lot of value in it.

[Steve Shaffer @__shaffer]

@mcmillen The author argues it was started by easy access to printing press but then boosted exponentially by television. And I would argue it's only gotten more entrenched (though interestingly more democratic/decentralized) by social media.

But whatever! You voted for them and here they are. Pick your favorite tag, using whatever criteria you like. The top 2 from this round go through to the championship tomorrow, when the very best HTML tag will be crowned.

[Steve Shaffer @__shaffer]

@seldo For me... It still holds a place in my heart as such a straightforward replacement for the immediately confusing <input type="submit">

[Steve Shaffer @__shaffer]

@dan_abramov I think a lot of (especially early) mutemath fits that bill. @DKtheDrummer is a BEAST.

[Steve Shaffer @__shaffer]

@seldo <a> beats <div> in the final

<marquee> and <input> also makes it into the final four

@astralwave @JodieannStephen @patriciamou_ Woops! Haha ya kids.....study your Dogma. Don't stray from those straight and narrow pixels as you code lest you face judgment in the launch review.

[Steve Shaffer @__shaffer]

@JodieannStephen @patriciamou_ And if you're a REALLY good PM on an effective team, one of the open chrome tabs was an early build of your team's app that's you're giving early feedback on and it has a memory leak and froze all of Chrome

[Steve Shaffer @__shaffer]

@JodieannStephen @patriciamou_ And best of all...

4. Learn how to force quit chrome. Cuz all the other things you just did are done in Chrome, they're all beefy applications, and as a PM you probably won't get an engineer-grade laptop. :)
