Anyone looking for a lifetime ambition could do a lot worse than the following: be half as good at your job as Queen Elizabeth was at hers. May she rest in peace.

@r_sreesaran Thanks very much - glad you like it, and appreciate the offer! Plenty of open issues in the tracker: feel free to comment on any that interest you and I'll be happy to discuss the kind of PRs I'd consider merging! https://t.co/4ffyXQJ36f

@msuriar @Google @googlesre Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye before you left. You were amazing throughout, but especially during my ramp-up - I still look through my notes from those conversations! All the best with whatever comes next!

Very sad to hear @matthewrudy has passed away. He was a really kind and decent person. I'll always treasure the memories of the @Codeaholics events he organised. My thoughts are with his family and friends. RIP Matthew.

It is with great sadness that I share news of Joe Armstrong's passing away earlier today. Whilst he may no longer be with us, his work has laid the foundation which will be used by generations to come. RIP @joeerl, thank you for inspiring us all.

Condescension negates the possibility of persuasion.

You can't have your untouchable superiority and an honest, productive dialogue too.

Rage is to righteousness as certainty is to wisdom. Constantly mistaken for each other, they're hardly ever in the same room.
