@srharris22 @RivianTrackr Also still waiting on the first one. At least my blinkers turn off properly now that I've changed the privacy + location settings back to what they were before the update

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

@srharris22 @RivianTrackr Same here

@mtt @PanMan @GergelyOrosz This is how it worked in the Le Meridien in Seoul when I was there recently. It can be done!

@RivianTrackr @IamLeoBear No native YouTube Music while driving is definitely a miss IMHO. That's my streaming service of choice (because of large library + ability to upload). Any idea if they intend to fix this so that casting videos and streaming music are properly separated?

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

@rlwylde @RivianTrackr Yup, getting this exact problem

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

@TobyForTabs Awesome - thanks for such a great tool! Would really be nice to be able to "share" from Chrome to add URLs to Toby collections in the app.

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

As primitive as I find Go given it's lack of many useful modern language features, I'm increasingly appreciating it's philosophy of keeping things simple with minimal abstractions. It makes it way easier to reason about a codebase quickly.

@SQLSuperVillain When you find your designated slapper, please send them my way afterwards! Thanks in advance!

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

Couldn't disagree more.

Can this work for small/ short-lived/ emerging projects? Sure. But for larger projects with many contributors, the motivation behind a change in behavior is important -- and tests are often not enough to explain.

[Ashley Rudland @ashleyrudland]

After 20 years coding I just realised, commit messages are pointless.

Now I just run:

make g

Shout out to @levelsio for the motivation. Deploys to prod around 12 seconds later.

Unreal.

Tesla engineers reviewing Twitter's code base to tell Musk what Twitter needs to do is...interesting

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

Was just mentioning this exact thing last night!

[Bryan Cantrill @bcantrill]

I want to make a software engineering magic 8-ball where every answer is "It depends"

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

This definitely aligns with what I've seen from people on @TeamBlind too. It's sad to me that maintenance engineers can become such unsung heroes - especially since I've known some fantastic ones!

[Peter Yang @petergyang]

Google insiders explain why Google launches many products and then abandons them.

Hint: It has to do with chasing promotions. 🤦‍♂️

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

@iamabot @kelseyhightower Same! I like to use poles on the way down to save the knees though

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

@Appyg99 Bad analogy IMHO - if you're auditioning you get to play something you know and have rehearsed, right? LC style interviews are more like showing up at your audition with a violin but being asked to play the drums.

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

@jsnover @bradwilson Congratulations - you leave behind an incredible legacy!

I'll never forget scrambling (in ~30 mins!) to prep a demo / technical deep dive for you on the DSC integration my team built at @puppetize - such exciting times back then!

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

@SQLSuperVillain Are you sure it wasn't Otto that was responsible for that though?!

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

TFW when you tell a friend and former colleague how impressed and motivated you are by their journey... only to find out that they were motivated by you so many years ago. Thanks for your perspective and for making my day @SQLSuperVillain!

[Ethan Brown @ethanjbrown]

Lots of interesting questions, but this feels incomplete without exploring solutions --

The amount of time and effort wasted on these grifts rather than doing something productive for society is mind-boggling sometimes

It’s over. The Celsius Ponzi scheme has collapsed

After 2 years it looks like @code will finally be fixing one of its most egregiously missing features. Well done - better late than never!
