Operating Systems @ . I occasionally climb big rocks and make noise in bands.

What is it with everyone trying to present like it’s one of those awful ted puff pieces? Can we just agree that the ‘too cool for school’ act works for musicians and not tech companies? Smile a bit, folks.

Just passed eight years at . Built some stuff, broke others, fixed bits and pieces, and shipped things.

I started at Apple interning with this fabulous team over 8 years ago! They’re super supportive, deeply technical, great people.

The Profiling Tools team at Apple is looking for summer interns! Our team builds Xcode Instruments. Recently we have built profiling tools for Apple Vision Pro, Swift Concurrency profiling, HTTP Traffic analysis, and more. If this kind of
work excites you, please reach out!

@ActiveNorCal Camping just outside the park on Saturday night was wild. The forest was lit up all night with blue flashes but with still air and no rain.

[Pierre H. 🔥🌸 @pedantcoder]

This, is, very, exciting.

Turns out it’s #NationalParkWeek so here are some photos from this weekend’s climbing shenanigans in Yosemite. The nat’l parks system is one of the best things about the USA. Both the land and the people.

@chrismiles Wow, little guy’s so well hidden! I’ve heard of them but only run into rattlers in the Sierras. Where were you hiking?

[James Snee @jamssn]

I noticed the same out here. When Tahoe was ‘dry’ last year I heard a lot of people mention climate change who had never shown an interest or concern before. So much of the existing change is invisible to the ignorant ⛰️

[Henry Wismayer @henrywismayer]

It's depressing to consider, but I suspect the demise of skiing in the Alps will prove to be far more consequential to the rich world's awareness of climate change than news that one third of Pakistan is underwater.

M’y former team is hiring https://t.co/RxT7ULrlLD

This is an Elon free job with a talented team.

All of this talk around it being hard for H-1B holders after being laid off, spare a thought for those on L1 visas. No employer can just ‘sponsor’ your visa. You either need to enter the H-1B lottery (likely bad timing) or leave the country. (/INAL)

[James Snee @jamssn]

@mjg59 Yep, this is me too. Over the years I have found ways to ‘mask’ it when I seem to remember, but none are perfect. I find it worse when I get a slight cold. I hope you forget soon and take care until you do.

[James Snee @jamssn]

@jdotk Interesting. I’ve certainly noticed a tendency to gravitate toward shared activities, but I’ve also found that given the right environment it’s possible to have deep and meaningful conversations. Driving for hours to the Sierra Nevada is an example from my own experience.

[James Snee @jamssn]

This is one of the best times to visit Yosemite! No reservation required (still gotta get a pass). Great weather and few crowds.

[Yosemite National Park @YosemiteNPS]

UPDATE: Yosemite National Park’s temporary peak-hours reservation system concludes today at 4 pm.

An entry reservation will not be required to enter or drive through the park; entrance fees will still apply.

[James Snee @jamssn]

@smcquay Aren’t you from the desert or something??

[James Snee @jamssn]

@TeenageWrist Which reverb did you end up getting? Your thread made me try out the SLO.

[James Snee @jamssn]

@unsaturated But do you know where it is at least?

[James Snee @jamssn]

I’ve been recording video of some climbing adventures. Here’s a recent trip to Yosemite. Showed a friend why Tuolumne is my favorite place to climb. Maybe it’s a refresher from doom-scrolling? https://t.co/kdhIvBYSDi

In memory of the last Choco Taco I had. From a gas station after a climb at Lover’s Leap in Tahoe. 🪦
