When I first started at my job I was wondering how do I earn a rocket mile? And could I redeem them for a flight on a rocket? Is the answer, no, or not yet? @rocketmiles

[Rocketmiles @rocketmiles]

Earn rewards for hotels you needed to book anyway.

That's it. That's the tweet. #vacationfaster

@rocketmiles I always travel with clinical electrolytes - useful for staying hydrated when hiking the grand canyon on a 15h flight #vacationfaster

Thanks to the @ButterCMS team for publishing my article about the trials and tribulations of migrating our #UI from #AngularJS to #Reactjs. I hope it helps some other teams as they update their legacy #code bases as well.

@DrKathSch @BenjaminTeas @DrKathSch, unfortunately this isn't the real account of Benjamin Tea. You can purchase retail tins of these teas at any location where it is served. Unfortunately at this time you cannot purchase this tea online.

@hhariri @ColinHarrington @s1m0nw1 @talkingkotlin @ApacheGroovy @grailsframework @kotlin @springboot On any given day at Rocket Travel, folks are writing in Groovy and Kotlin and a little bit of Java on the backend. There are bigger arguments about tabs vs spaces, than Kotlin vs Groovy.

[Kirk Lashley @KirkLashley]

@hhariri @ColinHarrington @s1m0nw1 @talkingkotlin @ApacheGroovy @grailsframework @kotlin @springboot I hope it doesn't come across that we're anti-groovy or Grails. Actually Grails has moved over to Spring Boot as well and we get to write Kotlin on Grails, or dig under the hood and use Spring Boot. Either way the ecosystem is big enough for more tools in our toolbelt.

When girls see all the different pathways women take into tech, they’re more likely to find their own. So, this #CSEdWeek, I’m calling on my fellow women in computing: Share your story with #ThroughHerEyes.

[Kirk Lashley @KirkLashley]

Cities cracking down on Airbnb is not good for cities, business of even hotels. There's a place in the market for non-hotel accommodation, and tightly regulating it is going to push it underground and less safe for renters.

The FCC will vote on a new order to repeal net neutrality protections — Steve Wozniak explains why it's so important #NetNeutrality

[Alex Morash ❌ @AlexMorash]

The FCC’s gutting of #NetNeutraility won’t just mean certain things will be slower, big internet providers can even block content altogether.

Goodbye free speech on the internet.

Few options remain to stop Trump’s FCC from scrapping net neutrality https://t.co/MHbdLTEkUe

[yeeyee1232 @123421342a]

Don’t understand why #NetNeutraility is important? This is going to be the near future if the @FCC ends net neutrality.

[Netflix @netflix]

Netflix supports strong #NetNeutrality. We oppose the FCC's proposal to roll back these core protections.
