It's only a matter of time before someone has a gallery show attended exclusively by ad-clicking bots.

I’ve long relied on CDC wastewater data to track COVID community spread and guide my precautions accordingly. For the past year, I used a simple iOS/macOS widget I wrote to help keep tabs. If you might find it useful, I finally shared it on the App Store: https://t.co/iKZ31mSr28

Favorite shell alias for #golang dev on Apple Silicon chips:

alias bgtest='GOMAXPROCS=`sysctl -n hw.perflevel1.logicalcpu` taskpolicy -b go test'

Runs tests on efficiency cores only, perfect for fuzz testing ("bgtest -fuzz FuzzFoo") in background without affecting normal work.

@emojitracker Update with good news, I see this on their page now, so perhaps they found a resolution: "Emojitracker is presently offline due to changes to the Twitter API. We hope to have the Emojitracker back running soon."

[Matthew Rothenberg @mroth]

RIP @emojitracker? I no longer maintain it (sold it two years ago), but heard it stopped running. My guess is Twitter killed its elevated partner API access, I assume related to their new API pricing model: https://t.co/EV6N73veA3

10 years and 43 billion tweets, a good run. 💫

Only thing I want in @SlackHQ is to be able to casually type/insert a time inside a message in my local time, have it recognized/parsed/markedup, and automatically displayed in the local timezone for all recipients.

@katherinecodes @github @GitHubHelp Screenshot in case it's helpful. The UI here also makes it seem like the balance disappeared, adding to the potential confusion (but if you click through to the Stripe Express dashboard you can see it reflected there),

[Matthew Rothenberg @mroth]

Weird. Received a one time sponsorship from @github as part of https://t.co/XLo95jT2ef for my OSS they use, but just discovered it was silently cancelled a month later?

(cc @GitHubHelp in case this is an error)

[Matthew Rothenberg @mroth]

@katherinecodes @github @GitHubHelp Got it! That is definitely confusing (especially since the payout via Stripe seems to be processed at the same time, hence the "estimated next payout" balance on GitHub disappears, but the "last payout" still reflects as blank). Thank you for clarifying!

[Matthew Rothenberg @mroth]

@kellan @waferbaby b2square. Found some screenshots.

Quite pleased to see Stripe recommitting to the open-source ecosystem, with the public release of our previously internal documentation and content-authoring platform: https://t.co/YEYVwPPeR7

[Matthew Rothenberg @mroth]

Not the *only* reason, but definitely one of the top 6, to come work with us. (p.s. we're looking for a new member of our eng leadership team focused on deploys, tooling, and infrastructure... DMs open.)

[Ale Paredes @ale7714]

If you work with me, chances are you will see my dog jump in top of me and make an appearance on meetings. Cammie loves being on camera apparently.

[Matthew Rothenberg @mroth]

@kellan I'll be right there.

[Matthew Rothenberg @mroth]

This was a fun one for us. 👑

[Matthew Rothenberg @mroth]

Looking for two more engineering managers to join my org at @stripe. Help manage diverse distributed systems on a diverse, distributed team. Empathetic & thoughtful leadership a must. One of the roles: https://t.co/NLiDgCW4vQ. DMs open if you want to discuss!

In other Emojitracker news… 8 years and 35 billion emoji tweets later, could not think of a better home for @emojitracker than with @emojipedia. 💫

[emojitracker @emojitracker]

💫 Emojitracker is now part of the 📙 Emojipedia family 🧡 https://t.co/nokLAQSbsR

Of all the places in media that my websites have shown up in over the years, a QR code in a billboard was still not one that I expected.

[Demetrios @dimmyv7]

Found this live #Twitter #emojitracker billboard #KingStW https://t.co/86QPZFOiFE

[Matthew Rothenberg @mroth]

@dimmyv7 Woah. Where is this? Do you know who made the billboard?

[Matthew Rothenberg @mroth]

Accurate sprint check-in.

[Matthew Rothenberg @mroth]

Big proponent of "slow recruiting" (building up authentic relationships over time) ever since @chaddickerson had carpool convos about it way back in the day.

It's a worthy investment. Yesterday I got to hire someone amazing who I've been "recruiting" for the past 11 years.

[Matthew Rothenberg @mroth]

@ale7714 Which one?!
