👀👇— this role is incredibly cool. If you're into performance, and you really love JavaScript and browsers, take a look.

As you can imagine, the challenges here are very real. @retool is browser-based IDE and runtime and of course there's no appetite for latency in any developer's toolchain. Decades of a local-first development model have set the baseline expectation and Retool has to work hard to meet and exceed that expectation.

We can't limit ourselves to the obvious stuff — this kind of work requires nailing the fundamentals but then looking for the non-obvious, ambitious work at the bleeding edge of what's possible. A lot of "sure we've done it this way forever but time to rethink this from the ground up" style thinking.

There's a set of hidden challenges here as well: @retool is a horizontal platform. The capabilites are awesome — you can rapidly build just about anything. Which means our builders will indeed build just about anything. It's up to us help guide our builders into pit of success — whatever you build on @retool should feel fast, lightweight, responsive, etc. That's no easy feat but with the right kind of investment, it's an opportunity we can deliver on.

Finally, as a managed platform, we have a chance to make things faster and faster over time without our customers having to lift a finger. That's a pretty neat spot to be in: "Good morning, your app is now 2x faster, enjoy." 💖

If you're interested in this kind of work — take a look at the job description and let's talk!

I keep bandages, tourniquets, trauma shears, quick clot, and more in my car and home because shootings have become so prevalent.

That is insane and not something anyone should have to do.

Yes, the rent is too high. And in CA, so is childcare. In fact in 53 out of 58 CA counties, childcare is the #1 cost for families. We need rent control, more affordable housing and a massive gov resources towards care.

Remember when Uber, Lyft & others spent $224 million on Prop 22 & overturned the law that forced them to treat drivers as employees rather than contractors (and to give them benefits)? And how they claimed Prop 22 would benefit drivers?

Well, the results are in: $6.20 per hour

From “nobody wants to work” to “employment is too high”

These videos make a powerful internationalist feminist statement connecting anti-LGBTQ & misogynistic patriarchal violences, from the Azerbaijani soldiers' mutilation of Anush Apetyan to Jina Aminii's murder by the Iranian morality police to gendered Turkish violences in Rojava🙌🏾

SF has been played. This piece by @mdbarba is nothing short of a bombshell.

This marks the first time Jenkins publicly disclosed the earnings…of more than $100k—all while repeatedly claiming to be a “volunteer” for the recall.

Notice the absurd framing here: that lower house prices are “worse” & higher prices are “better”

This is the default position of financial media — that the desires of the old & wealthy trump all

Try this: Lower house prices are better for the young, poor, and middle class

We need an impeachment investigation into Clarence Thomas’s role in the January 6th coup, as well as into Gorsuch, Alito, Barrett, and Kavanaugh’s testimony on Roe during their confirmation hearings.

1/ Modern society is awash in stuff. There’s stuff at the grocery store. At the hardware store. At Amazon and eBay. We eat stuff, wear stuff, buy stuff, and store stuff. Click some buttons, swipe a card, tap a phone – and presto! Stuff appears.

A reminder to everyone that if this is really about baby murder today's conservative outlets will be wall-to-wall celebration and not wall-to-wall gloating/fury

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

Each article is thus a good example of what I call copaganda cat nip for liberals: the function is to hide the brutality of what is actually being suggested to make people think they can still be good liberals but support massive bureaucratic state violence and science-denial.

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

Each article's central theme is that removal of "progressive DA" was natural response to problems of inequality, homelessness, drug use, mental illness, etc. (i.e. not product of huge $ misinfo campaign.) What's remarkable is that none of the articles explains why this would be.

Welcome to what may become California's cruelest summer yet...

Drought, intense heat, water rationing, wildfires and two kind of power outages — all at once
