Hello friends. Recently got laid off because of what looks like a reorg. I'm currently open to Remote Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer roles (been doing it going on 10 years now). Please send blessings and any leads my way. 🙏

@simonsarris Mine get progressively more sweary and angry, you must be doing something right. Toss in some emojis I guess

English is my first language, I speak decent French, and very bad Spanish. But by far the hardest language to learn is Toddler.

2yo points to book shelf: Ri dis one
Me: This one?
Kiddo: No, dat one
for the entire bookshelf, til I point to one on the floor: Dis one?
Yessir. 🥰

If my company ever makes me return to office I will simply remember that golden kiwis are in season, and walk around handing them to people, while confidently gnawing on my own kiwi collection, skin and all, like an absolute terror

@sferik Sounds about right. We got a bonus 30 minutes of sleep before "dada, want food" at 4am. Courage sir

@missmulrooney My toddler figuring dogs are pets and wanting to announce it to the world:

2yo caught me talking to myself, and asked me:

"Daddy, are you talking to angels?"

and I...guess I am? Sure kiddo, just talking to angels over here. 😇

[Kori Roys ✊🇺🇦 @koriroys]

Hey kiddo, just one question

WTF?

[Kori Roys ✊🇺🇦 @koriroys]

@mhdksafa Yep, the system works precisely as designed. Question is, who does it work for?

[Kori Roys ✊🇺🇦 @koriroys]

I did it. I did it everyone.

I walked into a room and remembered why I went in there.

@KateRoseBee Guessing a lot of us delayed having children because it took longer to get established, plus less social pressure to have kids young, so it allowed us to work on ourselves and be able to hold space for kids. As my 2yo screams "ABCDEFG Now I know my ABCs" for the 50th time

@taras_rhymetime Tweak it slightly: When the boat salesman's pitch was so good it tore a hole in space-time, the customer was cast ad-rift.

@PR0GRAMMERHUM0R Feed it to my Tyrannosaurus of course

[Kori Roys ✊🇺🇦 @koriroys]

@AdamCSharp Doesn't fit the model you give exactly, but a French expression for some who is very self-important: péter plus haut que son cul. Literally: to fart higher than one's ass.

[Kori Roys ✊🇺🇦 @koriroys]

@EmmaBostian Yep. Everything feels like it was built yesterday to be torn down tomorrow, streets are huuuge, nobody actually knows how to drive properly on the highways, etc etc. Reverse culture shock is rough, wish everyone could experience it and gain some perspective to be honest.

[Kori Roys ✊🇺🇦 @koriroys]

Go ahead, take up space this year

Be LOUD

Be LARGE

Be YOU
