I’m on the hunt for a tool that generates #markdown docs from #vscode snippets.

Software Engineers don't realize that 95% of production outages come from code changes.

Twitter has been on a code freeze for almost 3 weeks now which explains how it has stayed up and running with only skeleton crew.

NEW: Employees who have criticized Elon Musk in Twitter’s Slack channels were fired overnight over email.

“We regret to inform you that your employment is terminated immediately,” they’re being told over email. “Your recent behavior has violated company policy.”

[Emma Bostian @EmmaBostian]

I can assure you forcing employees to come into the office will not improve productivity, but it will negatively impact morale.

[Cameron @natureboy153]

There is no way in which this will end well.

[Casey Newton @CaseyNewton]

According to messages shared in Twitter Slack, Twitter’s CISO, chief privacy office, and chief compliance officer all resigned last night.

An employee says it will be up to engineers to “self-certify compliance with FTC requirements and other laws.”

This is a great read! I’ve been dying for content like this!

Have you seen @Beth_AskHer's latest on Postman flows? It was inspired by @ailuj876's talk at #TestBash.

A composite image from this morning's eclipse showing the moon in various stages throughout the night. The size and shape of Earth's shadow is clearly visible here. These events are absolutely magical to witness and quite surreal.

This is some fascinating context. (I figured Twitter was complex under the hood, but wow.)

You can register to vote on Election Day in the following states: CA, CO, CT, HI, IA, ID, IL, MD, ME, MI, MN, MT, NH, NM, NV, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WY + Washington, D.C. (and ND does not require voter reg)

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.

Unbelievable

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter: the entire Human Rights team has been cut from the company.

I am enormously proud of the work we did to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia,

[Lisa Bloom @LisaBloom]

Hey Twitter employees getting laid off tomorrow! IMPORTANT INFO from a CA employment attorney (me):

CA's "WARN" law requires Twitter to give you 60 days notice of a massive layoff.

A layoff of 50+ employees within a 30 day period qualifies.

I know you didn't get that notice.

Dipping my toe into the @Docker and @kubernetesio world this week because I need some solid baseline knowledge for some projects on my horizon. Should be interesting.

[Cameron @natureboy153]

This is a great discussion about inclusion in general. Everyone should listen to this:

What's in the new Python 3.11 release? Loads of new features for speed and usability. https://t.co/GKgbyVLWBD

[Cameron @natureboy153]

Yes!!! It may be time to dust off some old projects and upgrade some virtual machines. #Python

[Python Software Foundation @ThePSF]

Python 3.11 is out, hooray! Congrats to everyone who worked on this, especially @pyblogsal 💙💛 who was the release manager and thanks in advance to @Yhg1s for taking the reins for the next release! 🥳

TDD does not take extra time. Writing tests _first_ is not overhead because they force you to think through the problem and partition it properly. You’d have to do that thinking anyway.

Testing after the fact IS overhead because you did all that thinking already.

[Suzanne @SJohnsdottire]

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away.

It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized.

People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.
