@KaranOrg I've been working with computers since 1992 and I *still* don't know what scroll lock is useful for.

@LottoLabs @venturetwins Something like that, but more like "a service that trusts me is sending you a random piece of clothing in your size they found at a thrift store. Show me a photo of it."

@kartar I'm American and only recently discovered mango timtams. We're a bit behind.

@richburroughs @fivetanley I've had this issue lately riiight at the start of the work day when I think about one of the 7 non-work projects I have going right after the pills start working. Then suddenly it's 2pm.

ICY you wondered: we achieved 100% RE match in 2017.

Azure: carbon neutral via offsets only, announced 60% RE match goal for 2020, unclear on timeline for 100%.

AWS: not carbon neutral, 50% RE in 2019, undefined timeline for 100%.

@jackbootedthot @therealfitz (4/4) We'll review the tooling and processes around this so we do the right thing the first time more often. Suggestions are always welcome, and my (brilliant) VP @nandaatul is very much engaged and listening.

@jackbootedthot @therealfitz (1/4) TSE here, just my opinions. Most of our time goes to the largest accounts who give us the most money (8 figures monthly+), naturally, but we do regularly screen cases owned by newer support folks for escalation as needed.

@jackbootedthot @therealfitz (3/4) In this particular case, it started out just like someone "skipping" the economy check-in line because they had a business-class fare, but then the agent mis-read the ticket and told them they'd need to wait. Our mistake entirely.

@jackbootedthot @therealfitz (2/4) Our main constraint these days is hiring, and getting the number of people we need at the quality we need is a necessarily careful process. We pay quite well and we always need folks with strong SRE/SWE/devops backgrounds. Offices all over the world.

@yerhot So much better than "DAD! I'm done come help!"

@xpollen8 I'm pretty sure my sets in 2000 were cringeworthy, but it doesn't matter because I put Cornelius, Pizzicato Five, and Apples in Stereo onto airwaves of the Midwest. Worth it!

[Giotto @arthabaska]

@xpollen8 Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Giotto @arthabaska]

@richburroughs A sponge.

@elonmusk Someone told me if I drive 88mph with my cowbells for two minutes, it'll enable the Spotify app, but I can't get it to work. Am I missing something?

[Giotto @arthabaska]

@realchrisebert @abeisgreat @rakyll That's the thing. At Google, we do generally feel safe in speaking up because we've learned that it actually helps us arrive at real solution through dialog.

@photomattmills @photomattmills I know Google has quite a few openings right now..let me know if you want a referral

@StephenKing Got the theme song right here buddy: https://t.co/88HrzO2qHR #ArlingAndCameron

My sincere thanks to @TMobile for allowing me to roam from Mexico City *and* tether, which is proving to be much faster than the wifi provided at the @HyattTweets Hyatt Regency.

@kartar Not even joking. Those among us who can’t benefit from a little psychological assistance are probably in less challenging fields.

Sending hugs to the Amazon SREs right now. That's probably $100m in missed/delayed revenue today.
