Saying you can speed up software development by hiring more developers is like saying you can get planes to fly faster by adding more pilots.

Made it back to Portland! 🛬 Landing in an airplane is a lot more exciting if you think of it as a controlled fall. 🙈

not sure if it's worse when a coffee shop has no outlets or if a coffee shop has outlets that don't work

Made it to Hannover after a dicey connection in Frankfurt. A 15 minute delay on a 45 minute connection, plus buses from and to the planes leaves exactly 0 minutes. Was last thru the gate. 😅

Made it to Barcelona! I keep trying to say simple words in Spanish, but instead the words keep coming out in German.

I'm having flashbacks to grade school where we switched between German and Spanish lessons every month and I always took a couple days to adjust.

I just got a notification that I can check in to my flight from Barcelona to Hannover, but I haven't even boarded my flight from Paris to Barcelona yet.

There should be a rule that you can't check in to a flight departing from a city you aren't even in yet.

Leaving an event in downtown Portland at 9:15pm to make a flight to London at 11pm... bets on whether I make it? #travel

Turns out those Lime scooters are really not a good fit for the cobblestone streets of Prague

The new eSIM in the iPhone XS has seriously been the best thing to happen to international travel. I just don't have to worry about how/where to get a data SIM anymore, and I have internet immediately when I land.

welp Lyft is not in Prague, and Uber won't accept my Google Voice number and I don't have access to a regular phone number to sign up, so YOU WIN AGAIN public transit!

Seems fitting to be watching an anime about time travel while on the plane back from Japan where I'm traveling back in time.

I'll land in Portland a half hour before I left Tokyo, like the travel never happened!

Two things that have made getting around #Tokyo extremely easy:

1. Using the eSIM in my iPhone XS to activate a data plan on my phone without having to deal with finding a retail store to buy a real SIM card. Also was surprisingly affordable.
2. Buying a Suica card and transferring it to my iPhone Wallet. The Suica card is used for getting on trains and subways, but also you can pay at vending machines and many retail stores as well! Once you have the card transferred you can top it up via Apple Pay! That means you can get around almost entirely without cash as a tourist!

Just had a brief moment of panic, I coulda sworn I was supposed to be somewhere right now, then I realized I was, in fact, already on the plane.

Everything is fine. Planes can fly with only 1 of 2 engines.

I'm on vacation the next 2 weeks and trying to remember what that means.

Does that mean no talking with my friends on work slack?

No working on side projects that could be considered work if you look at it just right?

Can I still build stuff on my website? 🤔

Help!
