@thatwafflegame Worth mentioning my wife, who constantly updates me what levels of streak do, and do not, get new titles (but doesn't "do" social media)

Hey @lyft this is the time it took me to install the car seat for my child. Why the hell do you think it's appropriate to charge a wait time fee for36 seconds when I was waiting for my driver at the curb

I have been deep at work with the Clockwise team building a new type of scheduler with superpowers.

We can’t (yet!) control space-time, but watch as I make time where there is none:

In case you didn't see it yet, KIP-890 "transactions server-side defense" is amazing. Goes way beyond just fixing an issue with zombie transactions, and makes the problem go away with significant protocol improvement. - one less call to make!

@DanielleMorrill @gitlab We had one at Box (kinda) and that team was hugely impactful. The very definition of iterative development, experiments in production, and revenue-driven decision making. IMO they need go be a part of the R&D org, but funded by GTM, to be successful

Musk had an EXCELLENT PR team who for years sold us an image of a brilliant, eccentric inventor. He even bought himself cameos on The Simpsons and Big Bang Theory. But he's just a rich kid who used his dad's Apartheid money to invest in tech & take credit for other people's work.

the latest Money Stuff is a worthwhile read, if for nothing else the entertainment value of watching @matt_levine struggling to keep it together while going through the leaked FTX balance spreadsheet

I can count hundreds of execs in this industry who don't think operational excellence is real work. Here I said it, they don't have the technical capacity to understand it is real work.

Let me summon the ghost of Parler here as well: they were booted off of AWS for *not having an effective abuse management process.*

Irrevocably break Twitter's content moderation, and the cloud providers will reduce your bill to $0 for you.

If you have a few minutes, please consider filling out this survey on voluntary turnover in software engineering. This research is being done by Prof. Eduardo Almeida at the Federal University of Bahia in Brazil.

@DanielleMorrill Too far in either direction is bad; seems like theres probably some spot in the middle and red flags abound if you've got more money than sense (too few people), or you can't afford to keep / pay them (too many people)

[Tara Dawson McGuinness @taradmcguinness]

We need to be able to disagree while recognizing each other’s humanity. This is not OK👇🏻

I think folks underestimate how fundamentally @honeycombio reframed the market. Truly incredible.

[Molly White @molly0xFFF]

but if you think that running a project like wikipedia could EVER be apolitical, you are extremely misguided
