My 2023 advice for all young engineers: Respect a running system. There are reasons it works that way, most of which will be uncovered when you try to replace it. Make incremental changes, don't burn the building down. No one way doors. Never be unable to rollback.

What MRTK team built is inspirational. It's hard to understand the decision to shut it down. But FWIW, my team at Meta works on mixed reality SDKs and prototypes, so if you were on MRTK don't hesitate to reach out to explore potential opportunities.

The worst Twitter is when there is mass hysteria about a topic you happen to know something about. Between credible-looking nonsense takes and bad faith actors who don’t mind causing harm for a tiny prospect of self benefit, it’s difficult to maintain faith for our kind.

Here is another one, a blatant lie worthy of jail time from Mike Alfred. But I guess when Elon Musk himself is the biggest repeat offender (ahem “funding secured”) there is no barrier or consequence to spreading this kind of misinformation with a giant megaphone.

Finally a good alternative to this bottomless pit of grift. Moving on to Threads, maybe I'll even start twee-threading again.
