As a woman I can't imagine how it would feel to see an ad that implies I could improve

Email got so many things so right that we're still unpacking its brilliance four decades later. Long-form and asynchronous, email is an ace medium for fully considered thoughts. Not knee-jerk, instant reactions. We lost sight of that due to chaff.

At the risk of this becoming extremely heated... is anyone else feeling politically homeless with absolutely no party representing them? I can’t be alone in this, surely. You don’t have to give reasons or comments but... maybe RT this if you feel the same way.

Leaders: give your team the gift of confidence by empowering them to execute the vision and extending trust. A confident team member will achieve more because they are operating from a position of acceptance and not for acceptance.

This is messed up. @SubparAlameda is a delight. If every Bay Area city had a independently run, artistic, evolving, family-friendly and FUN gathering place like Subpar, blood pressures would drop. Hope they can still find a way in Alameda ... xitter.cf/SubparAlameda/status/9…

Folks, learn to rebase. I'm not a smart guy and I do it. Merge commits to stay in sync with a base branch are just nasty.

“We’re a data-driven organization” No, be a data-informed organization. Well-informed people, not data, should be making your decisions.

Tax breaks to Amazon promised by New Jersey: $7 billion. Tax breaks promised by Illinois: $2 billion. Something is deeply wrong with our economy & democracy when local governments offer up their tax base to a corporation worth over $500 billion. xitter.cf/ajplus/status/95399924…
The list is out for Amazon HQ finalists: •Atlanta •Austin, TX •Boston •Chicago •Columbus, OH •Dallas •Denver •Indianapolis •LA •Miami •Montgomery County, Md. •Nashville •Newark •NYC •Northern Virginia •Philly •Pittsburgh •Raleigh, NC •Toronto •Washington, D.C.

A perhaps unpopular opinion (and a little ironic coming from me). You don’t have to write blog posts, contribute to open source, give technical talks, or anything else to be a capable and great engineer. You can leave your code at the office and that’s totally fine.

Regulation is how citizens do collective bargaining with the colossuses of industry and commerce. How they protect their health and privacy.
