Dear Friends,

I know this wave, Wave 8, seems like the same old same old but this time it's different.

Builds are what gets code delivered. Reliable builds help on-time delivery. With a instable pipeline,velocity shatters into irregularity. Builds enable the scientific method. Builds buy you confidence. A bad pipeline might break your spirit. A great one enables the team

If you think "builds are boring, no one cares" well...that's quite a few devs I've talked to over the years. But builds are what gets the code you write to do *anything* it's supposed to do. Does it do that correctly? Fast? With checks/confidence? Yeah...builds matter.

If you answer my call on speaker and don’t immediately say “you’re on speaker” I take no responsibility for your kids’ new vocabulary

It is no accident or coincidence that the general public in many countries came to believe the lie that it's fine to catch and spread Covid.

@_whoisj_ @Nick_Craver At the end of the day, isn't spite just another spice? Or do I have that backwards

I've worked with early career folks for the last 2-3 years.

How the hell are early-career folks supposed to get experience if we aren't creating spaces for folks to learn.

Education + development must be part of any company's professional growth plan.

mentorship > conferences

@GentleHooves Hey …

You are not a fuck up.

You have a disability.

You are a dolphin that thinks your a fuck up because none of the fish have a problem breathing underwater.

A penguin isn’t a fuck up, it a swimming bird not a flying bird.

You are a zebra, not a fucked up horse.

The only thing that has disappointed me about Lizzo playing that slaveowner-adjacent flute is that a fairy court didn't materialize around her while she played, crown her Human Ambassador to the Unseen, vaporize her bigot critics, and fly away on a cloud of fucking glitter.

In conclusion, lithobraking is a very effective method for slowing down a 6.6km/s spacecraft.

To recap: you can’t bring a full size bottle of shampoo on a plane but you can bring covid and not even have to mask. Did I get that right?

[Zack Bornstein @ZackBornstein]

Finally some good news, scientists discovered a treatment that can reduce COVID19 transmission by 70%, and its just a piece a cloth you wear in front of your dumb fucking face

I don't know which is worse: having unfinished water on each floor of my house or knowing exactly how much water was left in each when I needed it again #adhd #hydrohomies

-- Accidentally Open Secrets Regarding Autism --

There are facts that are known by so many Autistic people that they don't get talked about much, so people often don't realize they are a "thing" and then once they know .. they know.
