i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

@ladybug.dev So happy for the return of the podcast and this season’s focus on Engineering Management. I made the move from Lead UX Engineer (influenced very highly by the writing of @emmabostian.bsky.social) to UXE Mngr about 2.5 years ago, but still feel like I have so much to learn. Can’t wait!

@julianwalker.bsky.social My dad also grew up in apartheid SA and instilled in me the same values you speak to in your denunciation of nationalism and patriotism in the latest episode. It was so nice to hear those same thoughts that I've struggled to articulate over the years spoken to so clearly.
