How quickly someone answers you is rarely a sign of how much they care about you.

Delayed replies to emails, texts, and calls are often symptoms of being overwhelmed.

Unless it's urgent, the true test of a relationship isn't the speed of response. It's the quality of attention.

Person just crashed their car into the water on the Indianapolis canal. Drove all the way to the north end of the canal on the ice, looped back and drove into open water

@jpcramer +1 for password managers! Though I can't help but recommend Bitwarden or 1Password over LastPass. BW is open source, hasn't had the hacks and security issues that LP's parent company(ies) have had, and has an easy import feature too!

Musk pushed staff to work 12-hour days, work though the weekend in the verified project… and I confirmed several software engineers who did so were simply fired.

Still, no pause, not even cancelling the standup the day of the layoffs.

What has Twitter become?

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

When we all collectively nodded to how a new low of layoffs was hit with the cringe the Better .com CEO Zoom call firing 900 employees…

… I didn’t think it would be Elon Musk who would set the bar lower. Not talking to any of the employees on Zoom or other ways before layoffs.

All in person companies have one style.

All remote have another.

In both there is a level playing field because everyone has relatively the same experience.

Hybrid companies are harder. They take more intentionality, more advanced planning, more collaboration.

It's 2025. Adobe Figma is part of Creative Suite and starts at $19.99/month, and everybody hates it.

A promising new design tool called Figmo comes along, and it's free! It disrupts the market, but it can become profitable?

It's 2030. Adobe Figmo is part of Creative Suite…

@mediocretes Idk why you are talking about peanuts, but you are absolutely right about those Kroger brand dry roasted ones! 🥜❤️

[Austin Stoltzfus @a_stoltzfus]

Wow.. I never considered this either. I'm all in for tabs now if and when prettier changes defaults!

[Jason Lengstorf @jlengstorf]

Holy shit. I had never considered this. I was pro-spaces and Rich was right — converted instantly to tabs. Accessibility wins this easy should *definitely* supersede personal preference.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

I believe in both bodily autonomy and the sanctity of life.

In some situations, abortion is necessary. Being pro-life requires being pro-choice.

Overturning Roe v Wade was one small vote for a group of mostly men—and one giant setback for human rights.

If you're surprised by the feedback you get at a performance review, your boss has failed.

Good managers don't wait for formal meetings to help you grow. They make it a daily priority.

The sooner you get feedback, the sooner you can break bad habits and learn better ones.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The person who makes you smarter isn't always the smartest one in the room. Often it's the most curious one in the room.

"Why do we do that?" leads you to question old assumptions. "What if?" opens your eyes to new possibilities.

Inquisitive people are catalysts for learning.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Creativity begins to die when we fail to celebrate curiosity.

We reward students for getting the right answer, but not for asking good questions. We promote managers for delivering results, but not for developing new ideas.

Encouraging imagination is the mother of invention.

[Austin Stoltzfus @a_stoltzfus]

100% agree on all this! Shared script and style state would be huge!

[Nicole Sullivan @nicolesullivan.bsky.social @stubbornella]

YES! But JSX is not enough on its own. Let me explain…

Neuromyth: right-brained = creative; left-brained = analytical.
