Spotify didn’t implement the Spotify model by copying Spotify. Why do folks at other companies think they can implement the Spotify model by copying Spotify?

I worked with Jim for several years. He tells it like it is. This thread says everything I need to know about the current, dreadful state of Twitter.

BREAKING: Kathy Griffin has been suspended from Twitter for trolling Elon Musk by changing her profile image and name to Elon Musk and posting a tweet in his voice.

Comedy is now illegal on Twitter.

One more time that @Atlassian has made me proud to be a part of this company. Complete support. No hesitation.

Please consider donating to this gofundme to support families directly affected by the #UvaldeschoolMassacre. Remember this when you vote 6 months from now. Corrupt, ineffective politicians such as @GovAbbott, @DanPatrick, and @tedcruz need to go. https://t.co/BDndZCrGlX

@sasworkshops @juli1pb Sorry I missed this, guys. Shows how infrequently I’m on Twitter these days. Let me know next time you’re in town @juli1pb (I’ll go check my email notification settings.)

I’ve spent a lot of time working with Code2College students as a volunteer. I’m amazed by their professionalism and ambition. I donated to Code2College for Amplify ATX this year and I invite you to join me. These students work hard and they deserve a shot at a successful future.

@thecomicpimp I’m sad to learn @TomKaneVO had a stroke a couple months ago. :( Hoping for a speedy recovery!

@serkan_ozal Did you sort it out? I'm having the same problem. I tried stopping/disabling/unloading sharingd to no avail. Also tried renaming https://t.co/20cHJXgGMg.sharingd.plist and /usr/libexec/sharingd, only to find they're on a read-only file system. I'm on Catalina 10.15.7

One of my most controversial software opinions is that your sleep quality and stress level matter far, far more than the languages you use or the practices you follow. Nothing else comes close: not type systems, not TDD, not formal methods, not ANYTHING.

Allow me to explain why.

"We’re allowing the computers to teach and the kids all looked like zombies." For decades we've seen leaders make bad decisions with the wrong assumption that adding a computer improves any situation. Invest in good teachers who care about their students. https://t.co/noeJ1D37tv
