Make space for people in meetings you run, but also help make space for people in big meetings!

I've been told my whole life the tone of my voice is hard to miss/ignore, so now I use it to make space for people in meetings 💁‍♀️😂

[Crystal Hirschorn @cfhirschorn]

Great talk from .@Jemolova on making enough space for all folks in meetings. "If you're comfortable to, call out if you're spoken over" can be even more powerful if someone in a more senior position points it out and demands others to give that person space. #LeadDevLondon

[Georg Fritzsche @GeorgFritzsche]

Nice framing by @HumayraHanif on stepping into engineering leadership - it’s about moving from a contributor to a multiplier. #LeadDevLondon

[Georg Fritzsche @GeorgFritzsche]

Emoji diagrams are always great 😄 Going from small to large code bases and how fun it is to work with. #LeadDevLondon

[Georg Fritzsche @GeorgFritzsche]

Off for a good start at #LeadDevLondon, looking forward to the upcoming talks

[Georg Fritzsche @GeorgFritzsche]

Awesome to see results of this multi-year long shot.
Congrats @dexterp37 and @solanasaurus !

An entire country, a whole city...

Internet outages and shutdowns affect the safety and security of millions of people.

Data from @Firefox telemetry could be useful to researchers investigating them says a new report by @caida_ioda and @OpenObservatory

@eamsen @mozilla @geckoview Best of luck with your next adventure Eugen! GeckoView shipping is quite the milestone.

Being vaccinated means it’s ok to use C++ volatile for cross-thread synchronization.

This is brutal to read, and a brave account by @eminietfeld.

This is also one of the reasons why minorities try to find jobs where they feel safe and listened to, instead of worrying about other things people think they should worry about first.

The Financial Times shared this nice library of data visualizations.
Seems really useful if you’re considering to share some kind of data and wondering what type of display is a good fit.

Alright folks, gather round and let me tell you the story of (almost) the biggest engineering disaster I’ve ever had the misfortune of being involved in. It’s a tale of politics, architecture and the sunk cost fallacy [I’m drinking an Aberlour Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch]

[Let's Encrypt @letsencrypt]

Looking back on these five years, there is a LOT we are proud of. A nonprofit certificate authority with 90-day cert lifetimes, totally reliant on donations... five years later, helping to secure over 230M domains.

@mike_conley Is it edible?

[Georg Fritzsche @GeorgFritzsche]

An interesting read on building leadership inside a team.
This resonates with me, I��ve seen this work well in different forms over the years.
It’s great for personal growth, distributing decision making and much more.

Very good read and food for thought for both engineers & managers:

ISRG, the non-profit behind @letsencrypt, just dropped an annual report that's full of exciting stuff:

- An ECDSA cert chain that'll speed up the web
- Prio, a privacy-respecting metrics service
- A memory safety initiative to secure critical infra

When i wanted to see a black friday drill for our services i imagined this a bit different than this 🤷🏼‍♂️

A good read from Stackoverflow on remote leadership - a lot of that resonates with me:
