I believe CEOs have a responsibility to take care of their employees—no matter what. Salesforce moves employees when they feel threatened or experience discrimination. To our Ohana—we always make sure you have the best benefits & care, & we will always have your back. Always. ❤️

You may have heard there would come a day when Slack became a part of @salesforce, and it turns out that day is today!

What does this mean? We’re still the Slack you know and love—just a little better. 🎉 https://t.co/Ak8bKx8wRl

@_abhayshah Thank you!

[Rebecca Schmidt @rebeccaschmidtm]

A note to all of the people who treated me and my code differently for not having a BS in CS now that I have an MS in CS - I can't wait to continue treating you with respect since degrees aren't the sole measure of competence! Have a great day!

Miss me with the “crime rates are rising” nonsense if you aren’t out here fighting for reparations, child care, youth programs, mental health programs, quality education, adequate healthcare, housing, food, jobs and other services that address human needs.

Has anyone seen Startup on Netflix? The tech references are *hilarious*, i.e. working on patches in a tiny terminal window or coding 100000 lines in one sitting

@GoFasterCloud LOL I'm with you on the passion for print statements

[Rebecca Schmidt @rebeccaschmidtm]

At what age will my default behavior be to use a debugger instead of writing print statements for 15 hours? Maybe in my 30s?

[Rebecca Schmidt @rebeccaschmidtm]

@PavelMorshenyuk Great point. I will plan on never then 🤣

[Rebecca Schmidt @rebeccaschmidtm]

@robertSPD Hmm, it must be our 40s then.
