In order to make Twitter a more focused experience, I recently reduced the number of people I follow and moved everyone to private lists.
These lists are organized by subject (Friends, Engineering Leadership, Apocalypse, Artists, etc) and made @TweetDeck actually usable again.
Mixed messages to a struggling engineer are cruel, so align leaders before the hard conversation and plan for both success and failure. anjuansimmons.com/blog/one-c…
People react to working screens, not diagrams, so show something real early and say the realistic date out loud before the deadline does. anjuansimmons.com/blog/nobod…

We heard you. And we agree.
In light of recent developments in physical media, GitHub is proud to announce that you can now obtain your public repo on CD-ROM.
Keep it. Lend it to friends. Pass it on to your children.
Your code is physically yours, forever. Until you lose it, let's be real.

Now live 🎉
Repository admins can now restrict issue creation to collaborators only.
This is a highly requested follow-up to the pull request controls we shipped in February, and a big step toward giving maintainers more control to help reduce low-quality contributions.

I just used LocalSend (github.com/localsend/localse…) to seamlessly send a file between a MacBook and a Windows laptop. It’s like a cross platform version of AirDrop. I love useful little utilities like this.

I spoke at @TheLeadDev Berlin (leaddev.com/leaddev-berlin/) last week, and, as usual, the conference did not disappoint! I'm always amazed at the high caliber of speakers, attendees, and experiences that make up a LeadDev event! #LeadDevBerlin

Vicia and I did another edition of "Guys and Gals" with her dance team last week at half time during a football game. The theme was bikers versus surfers, and we did dances to "Cruisin' for a Bruisn'", "Surf's Up", and "Surf Crazy". It was fun!
