Employed to delete code & think too much.

My tweets are my own.

Unscientific study: Why is your team not using mutation testing in your cycles? RT and reply in unstructured answers pls!

("WTF is mutation testing" is an allowed reply!)

🤓I’ve done a few big, incremental migrations in my career. This one was the most fun and rewarding. The key was having a great team to pull it off.

Did you see our friends @Betterment were featured at #GoogleIO ?

So cool to see their Flutter app on stage 💙

Ugh wow so almost half my life ago, great. 😮‍💨

People are starting to say Elon Musk isn't actually a real engineer. But he definitely said "I don't know why people think Twitter is so complicated. I could fix it in like a weekend." And then proceeded to fuck everything up. That's exactly like an engineer.

If you think @elonmusk has a plan for Twitter, you've never been addicted to it.

A high roller just bought the casino. Of course he disdains the staff for stopping people from counting cards. Of course he's turning off the security cameras! He hates the house for always winning!

Of the 4 most populous states, the two Dem-run ones (CA + NY) are using independent or court maps. The two GOP-run ones (FL + TX) are using maps strongly gerrymandered by the GOP.

The House majority right there.

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

Bankrupting Twitter is not an eligible run submission for the second submission period.

As Twitter perhaps nears its end, thinking back to the early days when it genuinely did Good. The below tweet helped the Red Cross negotiate a ceasefire - and an evacuation of the wounded from the Wat Pathum temple - during the violent Bangkok protests in 2010…

Obama chuckled. "You mean the Chaos Emeralds?"

In Maricopa County, Arizona, election workers are working 14-18 hour days counting ballots. They are working through the Veterans Day holiday.

Do NOT let anyone tell you election workers are anything other than devoted public servants and guardians of our democracy. 🇺🇸

So the Democrats won statewide with 51% of the vote and earned 30% of the state house. Can someone explain to me how Wisconsin is a democracy?

[Matt Wallaert @mattwallaert]

Evidence-driven, not data-driven. Data (as the term is commonly used in modern business) is only one form of evidence.

[Corey Quinn @QuinnyPig]

Spreadsheets, JSON files, DNS zones, senior engineers; you can draw whatever semantic distinctions you’d like, but to me they’re all databases.

My friend @Victorshi2020 kept beating the drum that Gen Z turnout would shock the hell out of people in this election.

He was absolutely right.

Someone else who deserves props for his work leading up to yesterday is @Taniel. There were a number of key sheriff/prosecutors races that flipped yesterday. He has been relentless at focusing national attention on these local races.

hi, are you doomscrolling? Sometimes this website makes time pass quickly, and hours have gone by. Why not rest your eyes for a bit with an offline activity or going to be early tonight? You still deserve time to rest and recover.
