Proposal: a greenroom for speakers, but instead of a quiet place to collect your thoughts, it’s a dance party to shake off your jitters.

@grimalkina I just cited it in my keynote to the ACCU Conference with a crowd of C++ devs! Please pass on my thanks to Dr Lee, that paper gives me such hope for the future 💕

Please ignore that the talk description was clearly just copy/pasted from my proposal unedited (;

One of my more popular (and somehow still applicable!) talks from AltConf 2015 isn’t up on the https://t.co/4MXqMHKGWQ academy site anymore — can someone help me track this iOS localization video down?

I am so excited to be heading to Colorado to keynote this conference!! “Coping with Other People’s Code” is a new talk I’ve workshopped in Seattle (thank you @xcoders) and can’t wait to present to a bevy of C++ engineers

I’m solo parent tonight, so bought a tiny round cake to share. Me and the 5 year old each had 1/6 size slice, then the kid went to bed, and then I had another slice

If he notices tomorrow there will be tears and tantrums but damn I’ll be proud of his intuitive sense of fractions

@PaolaNotPaolo Taking time to take care of yourself IS strong. Sending you a lot of love

@jasonbrennan It sounds so lovely but I think I would implode from the social pressure

"It isn't Twitter, you know," sobbed Lucy. "It's OK. We shan't meet you there."

"But you shall meet me, dear one," said Aslan.

"Are—are you there too, Sir?" said Edmund.

"I am," said Aslan. "But on Instagram I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name."

Literally printed this out to keep on my desk — it’ll have to hold me over till the book drops

so far we have about 40 pages of debugging strategies and trying to organize them is a struggle :)

here's a draft of the table of contents (though it's SO FAR from being done, note the "unsorted pages" section haha)

@suedeyloh I’m working through a tough TBB issue and your GitHub writeup last year of your own deadlock issue is SO helpful! Just seeing your repro project and questions was useful, but the way you also updated the sample code with the answer is absolutely wonderful. Thank you ♥️

[Laura Savino @savinola]

@Aleen @TeamNeem Ew. But I’m glad it filtered out to your timeline in terms of people being supportive, I guess?

Even so, I’d signed back into Twitter for just a second to see how its world was, and I think… I’m going to carefully set it back on a shelf again

@nwreg @Politepix This is actually next on my list for the weekend! Sealant squad, form up

@samuelgoodwin Oh good one! It’s like the milk is spilling 😅

[Laura Savino @savinola]

@samuelgoodwin It might not work for you, but my mnemonic for 오 was that the little vertical line points to the circle, so it’s “O”!

[Laura Savino @savinola]

@nothe I should start adding encouraging notes too!

[Laura Savino @savinola]

Thank you, Friday-afternoon me, for graciously writing “// START HERE:” with breadcrumb links to source code + Slack discussions for Monday-morning me. Time-traveling teamwork at its best.

@dimsumthinking Never change ♥️
