Weird issue I found with the notch on the new MacBook Pro

@AnthonyNystrom I bought a cardholder like these to protect my vaccine card. It has worked well for the few occasions where I needed to carry my vaccine card. https://t.co/RYLMSakIar

@mipsytipsy @osi @mipearson "Hotfix" is a euphemism that stands for "our regular process is so slow that we can't use it when we need it most."

As I believe @mipsytipsy has said: within 6-12 months, every new hire's productivity rises or falls to the level of the team, regardless of individual talent.

Skill debt is an org problem that requires org-wide investment.

The confidently incorrect developer who fixes their bug fix’s bug’s bug’s bug’s bug’s bug before recognizing they might have made a mess.

DevRel variant: You'll connect w/ ppl more if you inspire them rather than instilling FUD or disparaging competitors/other tech.

An ad played before the video in a promoted tweet played. We must now watch ads to watch ads.

@iamchriswalker Did Slack go down because you were mad about this? Or did this break because Slack went down?

How did he know this in 1999? Genius.

@sigje I did not understand your tweet at first, so I went to the thread. Everyone was saying 4s. I was like “what?! Where are the 5s?! Please tell me Jennifer was a 5.” 🙏 ⭐️ twin!

[Matt Light @lightster]

@sigje I start at the 5 and go horizontally across like you 👏

@alexthehurst @laurenty I have experienced all of this, too. Some of it comes and goes for me. Making sure I get plenty of rest (says someone without kids) and am intentional about taking time off from work has helped the most. And iterating on my personal systems like I do software...

@simonw @sigje I asked myself the same question a few years back and built a small docker-compose reverse proxy service to let my projects share port 80/443. Let me know if you have any questions. I love to help and nerd out on this stuff.

What did you learn from the debate?

[Matt Light @lightster]

@iamchriswalker Me: Is there any other way to read it?
Me: OH...

Today I wrote something similar to the below JS in a coding challenge. Spotting the error buried in 100 lines of code was tricky since it's not a syntax error.

console.log([
[2, 0, 3]
[0, 3, 2]
]);

TIL of the comma operator.
