This is complicated. It can be very difficult to make management into a sustainable role when you're trying to be the kind of empathetic and thoughtful manager that people deserve. I'm taking a break from it right now due to burnout. But here are a few thoughts.

Codex Atlanticus: massive digitization of Leonardo da Vinci’s work. Cool. https://t.co/YsZcD8QEAP

[Shawn Vincent @spvincent]

Wow. "emotional labor" being used in discussions about hard core programming language design community. This was amazing! https://t.co/UhXRNLfiIQ

Fascinating description of privilege and how it blinds advocates of "open" software from the damage that it does to users with less privilege. https://t.co/ZRyse3EDP0

I've read a couple of analogies for bad programming languages. This one, I love. https://t.co/X91rgnU5ho

I'm continually fascinated at the overlap between UI design and programming language design. Apparently I'm not the only one. https://t.co/bfnofr1olG

[Shawn Vincent @spvincent]

Interesting.

Love this "valley of mismatch" concept from @Altimor.

"In the beginning, new form factors fit existing workflows. Then, workflows fit the new form factors."

@rsnous I have a thing about "The Two Computer Sciences" that I've talked about but never written down

[Shawn Vincent @spvincent]

This is fascinating: I never knew that men's fashion was so influenced by one guy. Things could have been very different.

[Alexandra Rowland (Newsletter link in bio) @_alexrowland]

Okay you know what, I'm pissed about some stuff so that means it's time for another thread about fashion history. This one is for all my boyes suffering under toxic masculinity. Thread af.

[Shawn Vincent @spvincent]

This gives me words for something that has bothered me for years.

Guys, be angry. Please be angry.
And not sitting alone in your home thinking "I'm so angry," angry.
The use your voice to say "fuck this" in public angry.
Stop sitting so comfortably on your couch of privilege.

I love @jonathoda

Programming today is exactly what you’d expect to get by paying an isolated subculture of nerdy young men to entertain themselves for fifty years. You get a cross between Dungeons & Dragons and Rubik’s Cube, elaborated a thousand-fold. https://t.co/Mug9k7ioIG

Wow. I love #hipaahippo
