Come join me next Tuesday (April 9th) for the first Tech [Eng, Prod, Design] Leadership Tuesday Tea Time. Spring is sprung and it's time to socialize and network more. Samovar is no more, so we're trying out different venues meetup.com/leadership-and…

Rebuilding my professional social life after the break. Are there any good meetups/events for engineering managers specifically? If not should I start one?

God I wish I could disable Twitter counting “content we think you should see” in the badge for actual interactions.

Had a dream where TSwift and I were lovers then nemeses then it’s complicated. She was a vampire hunter (secretly a vampire). I drifted partially out one layer of dream to remember her cell and call it and resume the struggle again in that layer. Then aliens blew up the planet.

I spent enough time taking down t-shirts designed by people who found clever ways to use the numbers 14 and 88 in an obscure sentence… Enough time to know that this guy is fucking scary and fucking nuts.

I briefly misread this as “as a former materials physicist … superconductive paper” and vacillated between “wow really?” and “wait is that a pun on an academic paper that is out?”

Jackknifing is something that happen to semis. Did you mean tboned?

I’ve been a tech critic, but claims like this make the AV case for them. This looks like human error and a car acting reasonable. Ffs fellow left, don’t act a fool for clout and make us look like this.

While playing Beat Saber, I wondered at individual Jedi/Sith music setups for battles. Luke: small black wired headphones (with a tiny hint of gold) he discretely pops in as he steps onto the plank at the Sarlac pit, with Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” Mark Hamill thoughts?

Anyone have East Bay veterinary recommendations for an animal with recurring (urinary) issues that need follow up?

Berkeley Cat & Dog used to be good. This cat has frequent UTIs that have been aggravated by the vets dropping the ball on followup so it never gets kicked.

my favorite theory is

1) elon switched the site to prevent viewing from non-logged-in-users

2) the JS front end gets an error message if you're not logged in, and makes hundreds of repeat requests

3) elon misinterprets that as bot activity and adds strict rate limits

Not saying I have an opinion exactly on what will happen. But an interesting supposition

The most unrealistic thing about Star Trek is that someone got the construction of both Starfleet Headquarters and Starfleet Academy through San Francisco city planning.

Take a beat, pause, and try to guess what this is in response to beyond “a trans person merely existing online”. You’ll never guess the context. 🤣

And the ratio 🤣

How hard would it be to make a health benefits cooperative that could simplify the transition and differences between independent contractor and employee. Put another way, that you could offer self funded benefits to contractors and wouldn’t have to ever deal with COBRA?

I think I’ve found the single type of reviewer more ridiculous than Bay Area Yelp users: Steam gamers.

“👎🏻 wouldn’t recommend unless you like games that can be finished in 20 minutes [users time in game: 1041 hours”

At the risk of helping promote an ad just to laugh at it 🤣🤣🤣. The irony of it also being behind a paywall so I don’t have to hate read it is 👩‍🍳💋

There’s gonna be so much work cleaning up systems built with naive AI tools
