my favorite thing about running this account is everyone thinks it's hilarious until something they like is maybe bad

YouTube isn’t rubbing it’s hands together figuring out how to screw Creators...

It’s figuring out how to sort through 15 years of old junk code and keep the platform together with duct tape... and keep 2 Billon people happy...

I’m shocked it works as well as it does honestly...

I have never seen a website bend over backwards, including adding additional unwanted features, just to avoid removing one extremely problematic user.

I'm incredibly skeptical of the Dutch security researcher's claims, and I'd encourage waiting for independent confirmation before spreading that news story.

Twitter's own security plan for high-profile candidates makes the claims extremely dubious. https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/Improved-Account-Security-2020-US-Election.html

I used a tool called Hammerspoon, some Lua and some Python to build a mute indicator light for Zoom. Here's how to do it yourself! https://developer.okta.com/blog/2020/10/22/set-up-a-mute-indicator-light-for-zoom-with-hammerspoon

I work with OAuth all the time, it was shocking to learn how much I didn’t know about it. Talking to @aaronpk and reading his book was super enlightening!

All these kids bitching about the changes to retweet, and here I am reminiscing about when there was no retweet function and we invented it by typing “RT”. #getoffmylawn

Just had a great chat with @gffletch @vibronet and @DickHardt at IIW. Notes were a bit short, so let me try to capture some of what I heard before I forget (doing this over twitter so that you can join the party and jump in).

Thanks Sam for driving, that was one of the most useful sessions of this @idworkshop edition- on such an important topic! #iiw #iiw31

I could have done so much with .000000000000001% of the money they wasted

I think lots of us should add "I’m just an alg=none expert" to our resumes.

Oops, it happened again! This is what I've been working on lately - I found another alg=none JWT bug :) https://www.zofrex.com/blog/2020/10/20/alg-none-jwt-nhs-contact-tracing-app/

I would like a gigabyte of whiskey.

If iPhones having better cameras on them threatens your career as a photographer you probably are not that good at photography

We really need to stop calling online events “webinars” because that term has been ruined over the last decade by horribly boring activations.

We can continue to call boring slide heavy, text heavy online meetings “Webinars” so we know what to avoid.

being friends with a lot of introverts is seeing, "[so-and-so] is typing" for 5 minutes straight, only to eventually get a "😂"

My mother has truly produced the pumpkin of our era.

One of my favorite categories of workday are the ones where I get to do design work because I actually get to listen to music.
