@dan_abramov @MaggieAppleton @joelhooks Thanks for getting this moving!

I seriously recommend https://t.co/600IxXmMV8 to everybody. It’s becoming required reading for all developers at our company, we’ve bought 8 copies and counting.

[Ezra Lalonde @usefuliftrue]

Love https://t.co/600IxXEW9g, got it for all on team, working through—it’s awesome.

Paid for new team member’s copy, no access or receipt after 3 days, no response from [email protected].

Hoping for help! CC: @dan_abramov @MaggieAppleton @joelhooks

I stayed up past 1am, then set my alarm for 4:00am so I wouldn’t miss Christa Deguchi making history by becoming Canada’s first World Judo Champion! She did it! Congratulations! 🥇🥋🇨🇦 #JudoWorlds2019 #HardWorkPaysOff #Legend

I've never been more excited for an MMA debut. Tonight's going to be awesome. @Judo_Kayla is my favourite! #PFL2

Google discovered that giving every employee a credit card and trusting them to follow policy on expenses, even with some bad actors, was cheaper than the enforcement and structures most companies use.

How much do you waste due to low trust? Can you do the math for your company?

[Bryan Liles @bryanl]

Why do developers try to appear more intelligent or skilled by tearing other ideas down? Wouldn’t an intelligent or skilled developer take a less-than-good idea and build around it? Or even better, build a bridge to a better place?

Create something today even if it sucks.

Here's to the ones who treaded water today, who didn't "smash it" or do amazing things. Here's to the ones who struggled and persisted, and will again tomorrow, for this is often what progress and success looks like.

By age 35 you should have a huge box of cables but you can't throw them out because you're pretty sure you still need a couple of them but you're not sure which ones

[Kelly Vaughn @kvlly]

Striving for perfection before you start is a surefire way to never get started. Focus on step 1: get started. Then adjust as you go.
