@bh_ I can't! Been in the queue forever

[Gray Gilmore @graygilmore]

@bh_ I can't for the life of me get on this platform

@martinmacmahon @tweetbot Tweetbot shows tweets in pure chronological order which is my preference (though very difficult if you are following lots of people). And it syncs your timeline scroll position across devices.

[Gray Gilmore @graygilmore]

With @tweetbot no longer working I'll be saying goodbye to Twitter. I've seen what my timeline looks like when I'm not in control and I'm not interested. Hopefully some of the stragglers will still make their way to Mastodon 🤞🏻.

💯 this. Onboarding junior developers (which is one of my favorite parts of this job!) is so much harder. I hate when they ask why something works some way and I can't give them a satisfying answer because it's buried six feet deep in a package of a package of a package.

[Marco Rogers @polotek]

I'm okay with frameworks folks. I've even written a few in my day. But the current ecosystem of popular frameworks is awful. They feel esoteric, unapproachable for new people, they don't introduce people to web fundamentals. And most of them make your app slower by default.

[Gray Gilmore @graygilmore]

💯 this has always been a red flag to me

[Marco Rogers @polotek]

I'm always tickled and when white dudes put "views are mine and not those of my employer" in their bio. It's packed with so much subtext about what kind of person you're dealing with. The smugness, the faux logic, the deference to hierarchy while trying to take up space.

Twitter won't let me do a new tweet about it so here's a retweet instead!

It's lots of fun over there!

[Gray Gilmore @graygilmore]

I've got an account on the other site.

Come say hello!

@timwilkinson wow those office memories

[Gray Gilmore @graygilmore]

@bryg @Erika_Strong Because I can't leave this open ended: received a new card in the mail! 😊

[Gray Gilmore @graygilmore]

@bryg @Erika_Strong Mine also just did this! Always rated that Bryson guy...

Now the question is whether or not they're going to send a new card.

[Gray Gilmore @graygilmore]

@amblinamber I think some of my favs are the ones that bounce around on topics! Might make it easier to write for when you're not self-restricting?

[Gray Gilmore @graygilmore]

I wish more tech “leaders” (I can’t emphasize enough sarcasm in that word) took @polotek’s evergreen advice that shutting up is free. Every day a new drama because some dude detached from reality opened his mouth.

[Gray Gilmore @graygilmore]

A year and a half since DHH pulled the mask off and I'm honestly embarrassed at how positively I used to look at him and Basecamp. I'd like to think I was duped but I probably wasn't looking hard enough.

[Gray Gilmore @graygilmore]

Me, this morning: it'd be really cool to work at Basecamp one day.

Me, now: y i k e s .

[Gray Gilmore @graygilmore]

It was always a hellsite but it was *our* hellsite.
