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.

I've been tracking anti-transgender legislation for 3 years. I often get asked in DMs, "I live in x state, should I flee/transition/come out?"

Formula 1 was acquired by Liberty Media for $4.4 billion in 2016, and it's now one of the fastest-growing sports globally.

This mail broke our hearts and made us want to set things right 💔

@intellijidea Not thrilled with the 2020.3 Run/Debug Configuration ui change. So much white space and program arguments or VM options is completely obscured. Immediately uninstalled and reverted back to previous version and locked to 2020.2.4.
