Considering there are now 1k of you following over here, I'm taking this as an OK time to repost that I'm still on the hunt for a new role. I'm a front-of-the-front end type that likes working in that UX/accessibility gap that most teams have. Some details linked in this post:

Friendship is suspicious and must not be tolerated under any circumstance.
Snarkiness aside, this is one of the key points of my book The Secret Life of Data: once we start datafying human emotion, it becomes subject to the whims of algorithms and their operators. Policed. Punished.
