If I come off like I know what I'm doing, then I sincerely apologize.

@GreenlightFiber how come there are links to pages that say they are interactive maps, but no maps? https://t.co/qxj1TR5fFL

@vchiesibrown @MSchwartzTV It is to be his handler AND be the mascot on occasion. I’d imagine it would lead to eventually becoming full time Billy Buffalo.

@MarkRober are you aware or involved? If it doesn't already, maybe @crunchlabs should also be offering a 3D print option as well, and do it on the cheap. https://t.co/GtTkUdFdKe

Really touched by the gesture of one of today’s @BPort_Football/@CortlandFB referees who just gave me this Stagg Bowl 49 challenge coin at Halftime. #unexpected @D3FBHuddle #d3fb

@alexbrasky @Gonzo1105 @MHFLSentinel Why wasn’t this ruled as an illegal forward pass, making it incomplete and enforced 5y from the spot of the throw? Batavia would keep the ball. That looked clearly forward throw towards the Umpire. Am I missing something about HS rules?

When there are no "good solutions" to a problem, it usually means there aren't enough constraints being put on the problem. That can sometimes stop you from going in circles about various tradeoffs.

Getting a little PTSD here. Git isn’t always easy but it’s certainly better.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

I see people complain about Git and I can't help but remember my first programming job had a full time person whose only job was to merge Subversion branches and resolve conflicts and merge requests into "trunk" could take weeks.

@Tesla @elonmusk Change car UI to show average energy use in miles/kWh. No one likes Wh/mi. I pay by the kWh, so show me the miles I get per kWh.

Educating a team slows you down for a week or two. Not educating the team slows you down forever. Time spent in learning is never wasted.

[Dave Hergert @dhergert]

@allenholub And has every bug you’ve personally fixed been discovered and fixed in a test env?

Btw I do agree with your sentiment. A team’s goal should be to have as much confidence in your test/deploy process to deploy on a Monday as a on Friday. But should you is a different question. :)

[Dave Hergert @dhergert]

@allenholub What about “change freeze windows” to avoid critical processing time periods during a month or year?

[Dave Hergert @dhergert]

Good form, head to side. No foul.

Looks like @turbotax's Community software could use an update. Pretty sure ICQ Numbers aren't a thing anymore, AIM was shutdown in 2017, MSN Messenger in 2014, and Yahoo Messenger in 2018.

[Dave Hergert @dhergert]

This really is good for baseball.

@Jones11_ Oh, and Happy Birthday is in order!

[Dave Hergert @dhergert]

@Jones11_ did you intentionally or accidentally call it "Burrowhead stadium" at the top of your segment tonight? :-)
