iOS dev explaining to an Android dev how tough it is having to test the app on 3 phone sizes.

@sleepdiplomat thank you so much for all your work on sleep and public health. Loved your book. Currently loving your podcast. ❤️

Wonder if you've ever seen (or conducted) research around sleep and aphantasia?

[Peter Dolanjski @pdolanjski]

DuckDuckGo is looking for early beta testers for our new Windows browser app.

DM me if you'd be willing to test and contribute to shaping the direction of the product.

@lariki @queencodemonkey I'm the same as @queencodemonkey; I'm following so I can see what stupid thing he does next so I can go mock him elsewhere. 🍿

@chrisbanes @Twitter 🫡

Congratulations! I couldn't mean that more literally. Enjoy the rest, you deserve it.

[Craig Russell @trionkidnapper]

Been using Twitter for 12.5 years.

It's brought a ton of value. Entertainment, breaking news, Android dev community....

But if it is on its death bed, put there before its time because of a giant man-baby, I won't be too sad.

From the ashes will grow something better. 🫡

The show Silicon Valley ended and the world compensated.

1/ Just want to put this news in plain language for people.

Senior people at Twitter have resigned in the last 48 hours. We now now why. They said in private Slack channels that @elonmusk is so desperate to recoup his money, he’s taking crazy risks with YOUR privacy and safety.

Androiders, come work with me at The Body Coach! I won't give you the usual, look at the job description for that. What I will say is that building apps that make people fit, healthy & happy is so satisfying. It rubs off on us too. No burnout culture here https://t.co/Q7xXQodECn

@Afrohealer Not at this time

@dejwidh Not yet. Excited by it, and I've used it for a bunch of personal hacks, but we've not got it in the main codebase yet.

[Craig Russell @trionkidnapper]

@Chad_R_Stewart @TechIsHiring Sure thing!

[Craig Russell @trionkidnapper]

For the non-Android devs, there are a good bunch of other open roles, too.

Check out our hiring page for the full list.

REALITY: Nuclear waste isn't a problem. In fact, it’s the best solution we have to meeting our energy needs while protecting the natural environment!

@AndrewBenkoczi @Wise I got an email yesterday saying shares were being sent to my brokerage account (not cash credit, but actual shares)

[Craig Russell @trionkidnapper]

@Wise what's happening with the OwnWise bonus shares?

I think it's been 12 months now, but no word on how those are issued.
