That's 19 straight weeks at Airports. You set a new record!

Anyone else find this as bad of a UI/UX design as I do… on iOS, the key to switch to emoji (1) sits between the numbers and the space bar, making it far too easy to hit accidentally, but then the real problem is that the delete key (2) *moves* when you change keyboards. (1/2)

I'm making a board game about the craziness that is driving around Boston. We've just launched the crowd funding campaign, check it out: http://gridlock.info/

You know that you should possibly think about your work / life balance when you begin an email with:

hi tomas,
hi hannes {

An AI self-driving trolley with *fully functional* brakes heads down a track. The AI recognizes 5 people on the track ahead.

Does the trolley:
1. Engage the brakes, saving lives
2. Kill the people. Handling jaywalking was not a stakeholder requirement

Ethics are so COMPLICATED!

My new approach: if a car seems to be heading towards me and I'm about to be run over, I shall shout "npm update" as loud as I can.

Or maybe "Alexa, npm update".

Of course, they probably use yarn.

#IndieWeb I love you and I'm glad to be here again 😍

Every time I go to a conference, I think to myself "I don't know anyone, I hope I meet people" and every time, I end up with some kind of group that becomes more than just colleagues, they become friends. That's this group for #oredev!!

Huge crowds out today to hear @aaronpk discussing Smarter Home Automation Without The Cloud. Starting out with some great examples of when home automation has gone horribly wrong if servers go down. #oredev https://twitter.com/BaileyHanna/status/1192462917830090757/photo/1

Urgh. Has anyone successfully applied for a Twitter developer account recently?

I feel we may need to crowdsource the incantation that gets new accounts approved.

*apple watch buzzes*: meeting in 10
*phone calendar pop up*: meeting in 10
*desktop calendar pop up*: meeting in 10
*slack reminder*: meeting in 10

YEAH OK I GOT IT, MEETING IN 10

11 minutes later:
OH FUCK MY MEETING

Tech conferences are the best version of reality.
The amount of collaboration, friendship building, and just open and honest discussions about challenges/wins is incredible.

our Time to First Spinner Render TTFSR is really good though

Random thought on semantic versioning: the ideal library version is something like 1.173 because it indicates that they released 173 new features without once breaking backwards compatibility

Double down on mindfulness practice. And bourbon.

Wear headphones. Drink heavily.

Oh my goodness I just made a total fool of myself spewing my coffee and laughing out loud at this tweet at #MSIgnite 😂

Thanks for making my day!

And this is precisely why "expires_in" is a lot less helpful than it seems.

like, am i going to watch this guy's video on oauth? is it going to be accurate and insightful? i have no idea. but the second i saw that nineties "i'm running slackware on a sparc station 10" beard, i slammed the 'play' button.
