$16 each or 2 for $50. Hmmmm, I'm not sure that's a great deal @Coles

I'm kind of glad the accepted answer works but also kinda dismayed because it's so hacky https://t.co/rTev7I26IS

Would really love to have been the part of the group that implemented the "feature" in the iOS version of MS Word that shows ellipses in comment input box once the box is filled with text. In portrait mode this is only about 15 words. Great #ux

I wonder if I should be concerned that the two emojis I seem to use most at work are 🤦🏻‍♂️and 🤷🏻

[Darren Beukes @mr_beerkiss]

I find field validation, usually email, that immediately turns red as you start typing to be very judgemental #ux

@honeycombio @dparzych @LaunchDarkly @mipsytipsy Hey @honeycombio do you think this will be recorded? It will be 3AM where I live which is a bit earlier than I generally get up

Not only is VIM my new editor, it’s also the thing I now most frequently search for on Google #vim #Developer #ide

@noahlt @b0rk This advice is a remnant of a time where most jobs required less creative and critical thinking. Talking about problems with peers and managers should be encouraged, particularly if one is blocked or encumbered by the problem!

At least it’s self aware

I ❤️ the new direction @Microsoft is taking #Windows10. Although I still don’t know why “Install updates and shutdown” only works up to an initial part. It’s really frustrating booting up and having to wait half an hour for the “Install updates” part of that promise to complete

We are told not to run scripts straight from the internet. We may think "but it's open source" so there should oversight of the submission of malicious patches. But supply-chain attacks are a real concern! https://t.co/luC41dVrid #security #devsecops #developers
