The company is looking for capable engineers ;-)

I haven't fully comprehended that this, at least for the time being, is my last week as a professional software developer, after... 15 years?

I guess I'm leaving tech! At least as a profession

I'll write a good bye post but the gist is: thanks to all the amazing humans I met ❤️

@citizen428 thank you Michael!

@tesseralis I feel the same, I’m tired of the tech industry in general as well 😫

Juuuust in case you didn’t know this, #hyperfocus comes at a cost. If you (or your boss) gets super excited at the epic amount you got done in x amount of time, remind them/you this is not a sustainable practice 🤣

And when it wears off, expect to be fairly useless for a bit

I love how the dude releasing unto the world a biased, racist and totally deranged AI bot is warning said world that we're not far from "potentially scary" AI and that we need regulation.

It's like listening to a con man explaining the con in real time.

Keanu has a better economic analysis than most of your tech editors out there

On the one hand, no one should use SMS based 2FA. No one. On the other hand, this is insane.

[flavio @flaviocopes]

I heard DigitalOcean laid off the entire tutorials tech writers team, among others. It's weird because the tutorials are one of the reasons for their big success IMHO. If I was a competitor, I'd hire them all

[Christina Warren @film_girl]

No. This is about cutting the Twilio bill. All this does is a) force millions of users who don’t change auth methods into having less secure accounts. B) allow your paying users to still use the least-secure option for 2FA.

The Realization that you did a great job making something 10x faster, only to realize that it has almost no impact on the actual performance of the system.

Amdahl's law: the nightmare of a perf engineer!

"The overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is actually used"

The real billion dollar mistake is ignoring Postgres when building a billion dollar company.
