Professional tech nerd and bad Quaker who crafts. Sticks her nose into too many issues. Relates heavily to hobbits. (She/They).

BLUF: It won’t. Data scientists are idea fairies and that process just tells them “no”, which has never stopped a data scientist from breaking your shit that I’m aware of

[ej s nyman @NeedStories]

When a “feature” your agile process’s is to reduce “a bunch of new stuff”, I don’t know if you’ve considered how that’s going to work with data scientists.

My favorite thing about the dark web is that it reminds me of the Internet before there were any decent search engines

[ej s nyman @NeedStories]

Right. So I’m going to talk about the Dark Web at work for a Toastmasters meeting.
Now I have to decide the line between what is being upfront about the dark web and what’s too inappropriate 😅

@SusanPotter This is something I love pointing out. Our politicians get in trouble but at least they get in trouble. The bar is low but Illinois manages to walk over it while other states trip on it.

As an American, I am attracted to absolutes apparently. Like a Sith

Learning about scheduling tweets via Google sheets. This will end with me either ranting this is a scam or the best thing ever

If I could go to upper management and say “look at this repo!” And be done with it? I would. But that ain’t their language. So stuff’s got to be explained in English, not Python

[ej s nyman @NeedStories]

In the middle of a career change. Just became a process manager and right now realizing I need to convince engineers and data scientists to write about what they are doing. Staring down a project where stuff clearly has been done. But literally there’s no paper trail of evidence

@SusanPotter I am so confused that it is “news” he is cheating. I am almost certain that was the worst kept secret? Of course, I also still don’t get what his American SIL did that was so awful. But I’m a fucking American, too, so what do I know about monarchy?

[ej s nyman @NeedStories]

@dentudave Indeed we do

[ej s nyman @NeedStories]

In my house, we use Lowes. Also, what the hell, Delta and United? I mean, do we still use them? Yes, because I’m not rich enough to boycott anything effectively. But I reserve the right to be PO’ed.

[K.B. Spangler @KBSpangler]

By the time you turn 35, you're in a blood feud with either Lowes or Home Depot, and have sworn vengeance against a minimum of two major airlines.

@SusanPotter Midterms does interesting things on the Hill. I’ve often felt that you get to see the real fears and priorities without the presidential race circus shouting over everything

[ej s nyman @NeedStories]

@SusanPotter I get the vibe they simply seek control anyone with a uterus. In the end, we’re some sort of Axlotl tanks. Our sexualities or any sense of self be damned.

10/10 Amtrak is the best for traveling upstate. Trying to imagine taking a plane from StL to Chicago. Between the extra car time, TSA, and paying way more money, it sounds impressively terrible.

Fog’s rolling over the corn and soy this morning. The sun is coloring the sky in indigo and orange.

Our lack of investment in public resources grinds my gears the most when personal wealth is at its lowest like during the worst inflation in 40 years

[ej s nyman @NeedStories]

On the Amtrak today, heading for Chicago. A gentleman who hadn’t used the train before was amazed we’d only get there in about 4 hours. Sir, if we gave even a partial crap about public transportation, this thing would take us to Chicago in 2.
