Been procrastinating too long; time to leave.

Dear @TwitterSupport, as much as we enjoy our excellent bilateral relations and close alphabetical vicinity with Nigeria, we would much appreciate if you could label us as Norway😉

P.S. That also goes for Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore and Foreign Minister @AHuitfeldt 🇳🇴

It seems no matter where I go, I find myself wishing that companies would employ (engineering) historians.

Someone who would interview employees and read docs and then write chapters about each major component of a company and how it got to be the way it did.

Has anyone ever actually estimated a software development project accurately?

[Santtu @svoutil]

@Grohotis It was a pleasure working with you on Blobstore. All the best with whatever is next!

[Santtu @svoutil]

@csubj Damn. 🫡💙

Well, season Now of Twitter almost fills the void. New episodes dropping every day. Too bad may not get renewed.

#Seahawks at a reasonable time of day for a change thanks to #NFLMunichGame.

And it's gone. Temps rose and overnight rain melted the thin layer away.

Okay so I see people thinking Twitter will go down as it loses engineers, fail whale everywhere. But that's not how it happens. That's the worst case as things go catastrophically wrong.

What actually happens is small fires, no longer addressed, burn into wildfires users see.

@railfan_ @sedaunal Thanks. Just rough and sad all of this.

@RifkindD @csubj If someone has been mostly deleting code, do they produce a bag a shredded paper?

[Santtu @svoutil]

I hope everyone on the blobstore team and Twitter in general is ok. Must be a rough day waiting to see where things will go.

75%? Might as well be 99.9%. I'm sure he could keep the lights on by himself. I mean it's just a webpage, right?

Over 300,000 Russians fled their country within a week. They now have freedom of speech.

Where are their anti war protests? Their posts condemning the war? Anything? Exactly.

"Why is USB the standard?"

"Well, you see the USA was such a failure that the next revision..."

You don't realize how much you use Task Manager until you keep right-clicking the Windows 11 Taskbar and it's not there.

This is after a year of using it, mind you. Muscle memory is tough.

Back at Hotel Viru after 25 years.

Then: party weekend trip with some other Nokia interns.
Now: accompanying son to a fencing competition

@Todd_Segal Welcome to the other side and good luck with whatever is next! I remember how impressed I was with your phone screen. Super glad we hired you!
