A hard part of solving weird issues and then describing them, is that in retrospect you always should've solved it earlier. It was usually obvious with the knowledge you have now. There were numerable junctures you should've made a different choice in.
But GETTING to those junctures ~is the skill~.

Building a container via GitHub Actions, it suddenly occurred to me that I can hasten the build by... not building for amd64. It's been a default for so long, but neither my laptop nor the builder nor the cluster the container lives on speak that architecture.

Times have changed.

When I met Ryan Coogler several years ago, we were standing in a group of people chatting, when a woman with visible hearing aids walked up, and he casually began to sign the whole conversation so she could participate. She mouthed “thank you”. He nodded and just kept doing his thing.

Is your goddamned web browser not already an everything app? I can do my online banking, book a flight, browse porn, read a book, and watch TV all in Chrome. What the fuck does an "everything app" mean if not that

Not me reading this without looking at the QT and for a split second thinking I was learning that Trader Joe was a real guy
There’s not been enough coverage of the aid that Trader Joe provided to Revere. Without it, we might still be ruled by a king.

The worst outages of my career have *all* been after deploy freezes.

The longer the freeze, the worse the mess.

We can do better than this. People deserve better. ✨

I feel this in my soul.
I cannot believe it. I had a whole weekend to get my entire life together—do my errands, rest, work on my hobbies, work around the house, watch games, take care of my pup, cook, & make progress on my self—but it’s looking like I’m not gonna make it. I’m not gonna get my life together in one weekend.

Ten years ago I was appalled by what was happening in Crimea. My husband’s startup had Ukrainian developers. I urged him to start a mini movement.

Becoming a manager can be tough as the skills that got you promoted may now hinder you:
• Empowering your team matters more than doing the work yourself.
• Your output shifts to meetings and feedback.
• It’s about your team’s impact: represent their work upward and communicate leadership’s downward.

Compliments are the most disruptive interactions in The Desert. The other person blinks & for a second they see trees & hear waterfalls. Then they blink again & it's back to endless sand. #ForestAndDesert
