@EphemeralErika It's definitely one of those things most people only notice when it's bad. Good form design is so important!

Just started a new job, and feel like I don't know anything again. I missed this.

@AwfulCreature I started teaching myself a couple years back. It's been quite the challenge, but also very rewarding!

"Edge computing" is just a fancy buzzword for what we were all doing before "cloud computing". Change my mind.

@AwfulCreature I didn't know you played (are considering playing?) the violin! Honestly, a violin mute will cost $5 and quiets things down to a perfectly acceptable level for in-apartment practice, in my experience.

Also I need violin friends.

In a notification from IT this morning: "Adobe Flash Player End of Life Removal and Device Trust Update"

I have been waiting for this day for so long 🥲

@RandallKanna It's definitely a relic of the pre-slack days. I think we're only still hanging onto it because scrum is still a magic word for managers.

@EphemeralErika @Caelxis Twitter is pretty spooky on its own...

A group of designers just called me a unicorn. I think I'm honored?

@clairermuller As a senior engineer, this is my life most days I'm not in meetings discussing doing this.

Nothing beats the feeling of a push notification saying "You Are No Longer On-Call"

@MaypleSyrup7 Ah yes, the 5e popcorn wizard! The death and dying rules in that edition are some of my least favorite...

[Stephen Haynes (he/him) @sshaynes]

Just baked my first successful sourdough loaf with starter I created, and am feeling very accomplished. Just quarantine things...

@AwfulCreature To be fair to walnuts everywhere, synth pianos are specifically designed to masquerade as things like xylophones. Also cellos are really just double-violins, that seems reasonable...

@Caelxis @TylerFerraro You're part of the problem! ♥️
