Creating clarity where there was previously confusion/chaos is one of the most valuable and underrated skillsets

Man there’s really an xkcd for everything

Inexplicably woke up this morning with Shania Twain’s, “You’re Still the One” stuck in my head. Please help.

After 20+ years of working, you figured you’d seem some shit but I don’t think I’ve come across the idea of “accidental layoffs”😬 Kidding aside, an org has to be pretty messed up to get to the point we’re people are so faceless that they are treated like they’re just line items

I think one of the things I miss most about Joanna Robinson and Mallory Rubin ’s #HouseOfTheDragon recaps on Ringer-Verse is the reactions to the soundboard.

Holy moly that was a fine episode of television #Andor

Don’t wait for PMs to “prioritize” tech debt. Make a technical roadmap, front loaded with mid/short term wins. Show you can make small impact in a month, medium in a quarter, before you ask for a year of refactoring. Break down milestones and measure if the work mattered.

Rewatching “Solo: a Star Wars story” last night, and there’s a particular scene with a droid that had me thinking, “oh, that’s kinda dark”… apparently it’s even more horrific in the novelization (spoilers, of course): screenrant.com/solo-star-wars…

Somehow the #AndorFinale had me crying *and* wanting to fight fascists in the span of 56 minutes

Reading about Lambda SnapStart (aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-…)… first thought was “cool, JVM for Lambda without the slow start”. Second thought: “oh boy, ppl are gonna start using Spring in Lambdas, aren’t they?”

Twitter no longer allows links to Mastodon to be posted I guess this is what freedom looks like!

From Jordan Martin at the elephant site. "If you go to spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you."

UPDATE: The tweets by @TwitterSupport this morning, announcing a new policy banning linking to competing websites, have been deleted. The policy itself was deleted from Twitter’s website.

My kid made this to give to her mom for Christmas 😂 “Monsieur, with these #FeralRoaches you are really spoiling us!”

I…um…wut?

Watching this classic with my kids imdb.com/media/rm400155… 🥷 🐢

I guess this feeling I’m having before returning to the regular work/school routine means I had an enjoyable couple of weeks off

we need to stop judging dev tools on their day 1 experience (how easy it is to integrate), but on their day 200 experience instead will this become tech debt and slow my team down more than anything?
