Sixth week working at Twitter and I'm writing code to count characters. What did I get myself into?

The story “Button, Button” by Richard Matheson describes a stranger delivering a box with a button to a struggling couple. If you press the button, you get money. But someone you don’t know will die.

Thanks @aaronpk and @udemy for a very thorough run through of the hows, whats n' whys of OAuth2. I now feel what I did know has been reinforced and gaps filled in the areas I didn't. 👏

Now back to tackling Fitbit, Google Fit APIs. ✊

why does every website landing page look like this now?

I’m watching Joseph’s & Aaron’s replay *right now*, so no spoilers!

Aha, found the line that I often quote: "In case of conflict, consider users over authors over implementors over specifiers over theoretical purity. ".

People on the left don't watch conservative media, so entire false narratives in right wing media go unchallenged. The entire right is using the Texas blackouts right now to create a narrative about the failure of green energy. It's 100% false. It needs to be challenged head on.

meteorologists call this weather pattern "7-Eleven Microwave Burrito"

Multiple places throughout the US are experiencing extended power outages. In winter. With historically unprecedented cold and snowstorms.

That is happening in America while we continue to ignore climate change and tell ourselves we're the greatest country on earth.
