It’s so strange. I find it extra baffling from tiny startups. There’s a reasonable chance the pandemic will outlive their company.

Properly done, design helps people

Twitter announced support for a 9/80 schedule (1 day off every other week) but none of my reports were comfortable taking it until we announced that myself & team leads would be taking it. If you're a ppl manager, you have a responsibility to normalize actually using the perks.

Gerald actually hates purple but sold out in the end for brand deals. So fake that guy!

it’s hard to overstate how freakin’ cool AuthGuardian is. I used it on a couple projects to set up multiplatform auth and permissions and saved myself DAYS of effort

sad that IndieWeb summit isn't happening this year, but enjoying catching up on all the recordings from the online event over the weekend! Thanks to everyone for the great discussions and the organisers for making the content available.

That period in lockdown when there was no food in the supermarkets & people were fighting for tissue doesn’t even seem real

Excellent depiction of how hacking your online accounts isn’t just about stealing old emails. Here hackers made off with $3MM from someone who probably didn’t think of themselves as “high risk” (via @jstarmy and @anna_haifisch https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2020-perfect-art-heist/
