Today we’re excited to bring Node.js back to its roots - the browser!

Bravo!
South Korea 🇰🇷 has set up ‘phone booths’ that can test people for the coronavirus in just 7 minutes. The country has earned praise for its mass testing amid the Covid19 pandemic.
if you're not happy single, you won't be happy in a relationship.
true happiness comes from closing 100 chrome tabs after solving an obscure programming bug, not from someone else
I saw a guy reporting a vulnerability today.
No logo.
No website.
No drama.
He just emailed a write-up.
Providing all the details needed to reproduce and fix the issue.
Like a psychopath.
The hardest part of being a software manager is understanding that software takes the time it takes, and rushing it will slow it down and make it buggy.
Patience is everything.
It's bittersweet: I'm leaving @dropbox, and am now retired. I've learned a lot during my time as an engineer here -- e.g. type annotations came from this experience -- and I'll miss working here. https://t.co/0ROaUrHQLt

How about your kid?
Saw a tweet that said a tech lead should review all code and have final say for approving it. I couldn’t disagree more. Beyond the implied fault & blame culture, this is asking for bottlenecks, messed up power dynamics, & lack of shared ownership.
