Hey, so, I got #Covid19 in March. I’ve been sick for over 3 months w/ severe respiratory, cardiovascular & neurological symptoms. I still have a fever. I’ve been incapacitated for nearly a season of my life. It's not enough to not die. You don’t want to live thru this, either. 1/

Another #AnimalCrossing #Avatar 😄 This time it’s my coworker @aaronpk! These are fun!

Them: NOOOOOOOO

Every problem Facebook and Twitter have is because of choices they made. Shit they layered on top. Ads. AI. Algorithms. None of it was needed.

fun reminder that beloved tech co. @cloudflare not only serves this website, but wrote a ~literal case study~ about it... https://twitter.com/mirandayaver/status/1278430829568561159

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
