💯 everyone deserves to use our products and everyone deserves the ability to create what's in their mind's eye and tell their stories. so proud that the extensibility platform we're building brings us one step closer to making this a reality.

[Alexandru Costin @acostin]

So proud of the company I work for, its focus on inclusion and the platform we've built for designers: https://t.co/ZnLJFShDP7

(3/3) Another one: blackjack (< 3mo) vs. poker. Love this, bc in blackjack, even when you play by the book, odds are you will lose (read: not sleep enough 🤪). After 3 mos, it gets more complicated and there is no single playbook. Hope I’m better at parenting than I am at poker!

[Vijay @vvachani]

(1/3) I’ve been on parental leave for the last 6 wks and one of the better analogies I’ve heard (thx @MiriamBWilliams) is that parenting before ~3 months is all ops. The goal is straightforward: keep baby alive + growing, while maximizing your and your partner’s sleep + sanity

[Vijay @vvachani]

(2/3) There are a couple playbooks to optimize the discrete parameters (eating and sleeping, most notably), but not too many choices. Afterwards, you add strategy. The system consists of increasingly intelligent actors, the choices expand exponentially and become more personal

[Vijay @vvachani]

To start, we’re setting a goal to deploy 50% of funds from the #adobefundfordesign moving forward to underrepresented communities and we’re adding a new grant type to provide more financial support to members of our dev community impacted by COVID-19: https://t.co/YxwXN8GTrd

[Vijay @vvachani]

We @Adobe and @creativecloud need to do more to address inequality in the creative and developer communities and to support our partners impacted by today’s economic environment. 1/2

[Vijay @vvachani]

We usually ascribe inequality to the negative treatment towards a group and often forget that favoritism - positive treatments towards a select few - could contribute to the cycle of inequality just as viciously. Thanks ⁦@HiddenBrain⁩ https://t.co/PjPFSzuFyH

[Vijay @vvachani]

with a daughter on the way, who will be born into relative privilege, I understand now more than ever the obligation we have to raise our next generations to be more conscious, more compassionate, more just than we are. We have to do this by example. This is a courageous one.

[Alexis Ohanian 🗽 @alexisohanian]

I've resigned as a member of the reddit board, I have urged them to fill my seat with a black candidate, + I will use future gains on my Reddit stock to serve the black community, chiefly to curb racial hate, and I’m starting with a pledge of $1M to @kaepernick7’s @yourrightscamp

[Vijay @vvachani]

Our developer platform has never been more important. Our products should work they way our users do. As new work styles emerge, we'll power integrations that meet evolving needs and ensure our customers can stay productive & creative. Proud of the team that makes this possible!

Quick and easy way to help a large group of people whose income will be affected by coronavirus / social distancing:
