@smsohan what do you like about it?

[Shafi @dmshafi]

@matvelloso I am experiencing the same and I have absolutely zero engagement in twitter for at least last 6 months.

3 weeks until 5 pm sunsets.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

@hb4c @comcast @Xfinity @XfinitySupport @ZiplyFiber I had positive experience in Redmond with Xfinity but the upload speed was horrendous. I was capped at 6Mbps I think. Still I moved to Ziply because of the bandwidth and never regretted the decision

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Let's stop talking about Mason greenwood for a second and applaud the bravery of Harriet Robson 👏👏 I hope she fights this with everything and her actions encourage more girls to speak out about domestic violence and abuse. Get these scumbags in prison were they belong

Incredible!

[Snoqualmie Pass @SnoqualmiePass]

Lunchtime update from White Pass: Crews have been moving cautiously with blowers down each side of the pass. Slides brought down rocks, logs & debris slowing things down as we bring a loader in to remove debris in front of the blower. Still no ETA to open.

@AWSSupport @QuinnyPig Top response!

@NovallSwift It's fine, but it may not be the fastest.

#Covid19 started the working from home trend and now the #heatdome brought the office back to life!

@rakyll My intern took a service down. After sharing my previous blunders, I told him these are the stories you are going to look back and tell others to show that mistakes can happen by anyone. He came back stronger. And now doing amazing things at Amazon.

@b0rk Cannot stress the 'rubber duck debugging' method enough! Here are my debugging buddies :)

However, if your interest was primarily on back-end work, you need to work extra hard to move your team's dependency from you to the team. 3/3

[Shafi @dmshafi]

This is a very good advice. But it also comes as a risk of making you the only person handling the unwanted tasks. One common problem I have seen is in a back-end heavy team, most people don't seem to be interested in front-end work. 1/n

[Shafi @dmshafi]

However, if you are the one who volunteered to do the job, you might be considered as the front-end expert and all future front-end work will come to you. This is great if your aspiration is front-end-based. 2/n
