Greetings, I'm earlyspark. I left my big tech job after 10 years to go on career break. I was a Sr. Technical Program Manager at Twitch, an Amazon subsidiary. Before that, I was at Curse. I worked on https://t.co/JWDlffk5wo, Twitch TV apps, Twitch Studio (rip), & Safety eng.
AMA
Here's a link to a free week of Claude Code Pro, with access to Cowork and Claude Code: https://t.co/AH3jKjKLny if you subscribe as a new referral, i get $10 in usage credits. i have 3 guest passes left, first come, first served.
#1 risk to me wasting my career break is getting sucked into the fake Twitter stories that make you want to click to find out more about what happened to the lady that got the phonecall from her boyfriend while she was in the emergency room.

@claudeai claude fable 5:
create a simple phonics-based reading web app for 2-year-olds that will help them read, like sesame street's skit where they do "a" "t" --> "at" --> "c" "at" --> "cat"
(sound on for the last word 😅)
i built a mobile app with @claudeai that plays music based on the vibes of my fitness data. it runs on Android and uses data from your @ouraring, and plays nostalgic winamp visualizers. just purely for FUN. #buildinpublic#vibecode https://t.co/WaGtf0PMyS https://t.co/YXd1T4LxOi
This is a post that I really couldn’t publish while I was employed, so I’m taking the time to do it now. It’s mainly aimed at those who’ve been rejected for employment by the prestigious AI companies, those like myself. #trustandsafety#openai#anthropic https://t.co/JJLkurrjrP
i don't hate AI actually, i used it to add the school events calendar (which has an event every day this summer) from a PDF to gCal in 1 minute. this is the future.
the sad funny part about being a TPM was that everyone thinks you're process-pilled so they feel like they need to ask for permission on changing a process and it's like, guys i literally don't care as long as it works and is maintainable and scalable. rn "agile" is dead anyway
