I went through all the talk slides that #Codemash 2019 attendees found and compiled a list of books either explicitly recommended or mentioned in talks! Time to make a 2019 reading list!

We’re not asking you to shoot them like you shoot us, we’re asking you to NOT shoot us like you don’t shoot them...

It’s cool that the Secretary of Defense is, how you say, MORE THAN SIX WEEKS BEHIND THE CURVE ON THE INTEL.

#OperationGridlock cars blocking traffic and blaring their horns outside a hospital where ventilator dependent #COVID19 patients are fighting for their lives. Protesting @GovWhitmer’s #StayAtHome order to protect the citizens of Michigan. What part of this makes any sense?

[Arvind Narayanan @random_walker]

Let's make this simple: Zoom is malware.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

We are quite literally doing a worse job of containing the virus than any other country on earth.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

Hi, my name is Gretchen Whitmer, and that governor is me 👋

I've asked repeatedly and respectfully for help. We need it. No more political attacks, just PPEs, ventilators, N95 masks, test kits. You said you stand with Michigan — prove it.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

Now that I’ve got your attention, Mr. President - attack tweets won’t solve this crisis. But swift and clear guidance, tests, personal protective equipment, and resources would.

FYI - here’s what I’ve done so far ⬇️

[Jake Fenton @highnoiseratio]

@mmore500 There was a macroon shop near Tasty Twist on Grand River for years. They closed some months ago.

I want to know what the business model for a macaroon shop is.

the small neighbor human. has enlisted my help. finding colorful eggs in the garden. i tried to eat the first one i found. but apparently that’s not the objective

[Jake Fenton @highnoiseratio]

I think... I think I understand SFINAE?

I see the light of the universe. The underlying powers of creation. I am Awake now.

Me: "This is insane, but if I can think about it, and I'm a template noob, surely it's possible?"
*2 hours of messing with templates later*
Me: "I have segfaulted the compiler. Marvelous."

[Jake Fenton @highnoiseratio]

@CharlesOfria I've come so far!

[Jake Fenton @highnoiseratio]

I was looking forward to a nice, calm, quiet Friday, and now I have OPINIONS about #StarWarsEpisodeIX

[Jake Fenton @highnoiseratio]

oh my word, "peeled gorillas" is brilliant

[Sarah Drasner @sarah_edo]

Who does that?!

I mean really just go around, find some peeled gorillas that are so much bigger than you that are sleeping, and decide to sit on their faces

[Jake Fenton @highnoiseratio]

@mmore500 tbf some of the bored audience is probably reading twitter, too

[Jake Fenton @highnoiseratio]

"Hmm, I wonder how my friends in grad school are doing. Let's check in on @mmore500."

...

"Oh dear."

"This sword sucks. You said it glows when danger is near," he said.

"And?" the wizard said.

"It ALWAYS glows."

"Yes. It has sharp edges."

[Jake Fenton @highnoiseratio]

I'm working on making it possible to stop a save-as operation before it completes and it's actually turning out to be one of the more complex things I've built at this job.

Not sure how I feel about that.
