FREEWAY SHUTDOWN: All lanes of the 5 Freeway are closed in both directions due to snow and ice, the California Highway Patrol said, as a slow-moving winter storm makes its way across Southern California. ๐จโ๏ธ๐ https://t.co/kF5nxxZ1ow
As it did mine. I hope everyone in software finds an open source project that gives such immense satisfaction personally and professionally. Happy birthday #plone!
If you are afraid of becoming a manager, I highly recommend Emily's podcast manager.flow (and book when it drops). She is truly talented, creative, and empathetic to the fun and misery of being a manager of hyper smart people.
@matthewwilkes@ploneconf@nzupan@domenkozar Talking the guy at the front desk to letting me stay at the hostel even though I didn't have a room. I think anyways. I mean, woke up there.
@danslimmon@mwhooker I went right to the white stripes version. I remember my mom hearing that song when I was visiting home from college and asking me if the guy I was dating was actually a good influence turning me on to such terrible music.
@adamjh I just picked up a casper on a whim at target and after going through like.. I don't know.. 10, that's the best so far. Bamboo doesn't hold up, down is good for a year and now triggering allergies, the ones you in/stuff yourself get lumpy.
@HammerToe No need to tear anything down that's put it proper context. That statue should have been in a museum. Put up contextual information rather than letting them stand unquestioned.
@matthewwilkes@HammerToe So much distance between land means large bits of culture are not shared between people in the same country. Michigan didn't have black panthers or Rodney King and California never REALLY embraced unions or motown. If you approach the US like 1 country, it will never make sense.
@matthewwilkes@HammerToe I grew up in the midwest which has a lot of German/Polish influence. People don't usually protest even though IMO black people are treated generally horribly there. But in California, I have been told by natives that the culture here is to protest good and hard every 15 years.
I tried so hard to leave them in and press send. I just had it trained (drained?) out of me. It was the right call and I'm aware of the reprocussions if I had left it in. Ignorance was indeed bliss. Sigh.
One long term effect of being a manager is that you learn what is appropriate when and with whom and edit yourself. This sucks sometimes. I just wrote a neighborhood email about SWAPPING KEYS and couldn't bring myself to leave in all the gifs/jokes about key parties.
