Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Earlier this week, we lost my husband’s best friend of the last 25 years suddenly from a heart attack. He was a part of our family and we are devastated. It’s trite but true tell people that you love them. Take more pictures & videos of every moment together. Take no one in your life for granted.

my toxic engineer trait is that I'm basically allergic to code all code is bad. the less code the better. why are you writing new code stahp *sprays devs with squirt bottle*

I turned a leak investigation into a post on the Block eng blog to share a method that works well! It's a bit long... I had to show how to encode code knowledge to automate leak investigations, and dig even deeper with YourKit Java Profiler. engineering.block.xyz/blog/the-lea... #AndroidDev

said it forever and i’ll say it again for you guys in the cheap seats, it’s cool to be nice. being a huge dork is punk rock in its own way. be the full sized candy bars house at halloween. return the shopping carts. pick up that little piece of trash on the sidewalk. it’s cool to be mister rogers.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

Can confirm - Anil shares my opinion, and the opinion of the vast majority of people I know in tech.

MANY BOSTONIANS & MASSACHUSETTSIANS KNEW WAT IT WAS 2 BE UNDER THE BLOBS THIS DAY, EYE CULD TELL U

Some days I just really really really want to subtweet how pissed I am about stupid work bullshit but I know I shouldn't so I don’t.

Accessibility is popular, it's rare I meet anyone who thinks it doesn't matter. Usually it's the systemic failures that make us de-prioritize it, things like perceived tight timelines, low budgets, lack of resources. Regardless, the future world is accessible. There's too many of us that want it

lots of people know Łink from what he did to promote alt text usage here. this tip about pretending you’re describing an image over the phone has been burned in my brain since i saw it

I have reached the “stress dreams” stage of preparing for my upcoming talk 😱

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

💥 did a small drawing explaining the JS execution model including the event loop. I hope it’s helpful to folks. Debugging is always easier when the underlying implementations are understood.

My son Max and I are joining Team 49 (I see you, @tcaron.bsky.social!) today in The Jimmy Fund Walk, honoring the legacy and commitment of Tim and Stacy Wakefield to the work of The Jimmy Fund. Please consider joining the fight and donating here! danafarber.jimmyfund.org/site/TR?fr_i...

@horsejs.com coming back with a vengeance and I am here for it

I have been a very happy Netlify user for many years now! Ohshitgit.com has served millions of people on their infra and I’ve never had an issue.

And in depth bsky.app/profile/netl...

No need for a migration, it works seamlessly. Just link your NextJS (or any other framework you have on Vercel) repo to Netlify and it works. If it doesn’t reach out to me directly and I’ll make sure the team will check it

Them: “tech needs to be apolitical. Focus on building” Also them: “it was great meeting you Mr War Criminal I hope we can do a lot of technology together that benefits your political goals and my political wallet”

One thing I learned about web hosting when I worked in that space: It's not very sticky. Extremely easy to switch providers on a whim. Point your repo somewhere else. It's online! There are SO many choices when you want to deploy. preview. ship. Thinking about this today for no reason!!

Now would be a great time for Netlify to create and/or heavily market an automated way to migrate to their platform from the fashier parts of the internet

Hi! I borrowed $300m from the worst people in the world to buy your favourite thing! Now your favourite thing owes me $300m and sadly it looks like it can’t pay me back so I’ve taken it out back and shot it. Anyways, just wanted to ask… what’s your *second* favourite thing?

Team bubblah lets gooo

Can we just have a blanket rule that after a user says no, they don’t want to download your app, 10-20 times that companies just fucking stop with the app popups? especially if they are a) logged in and b) routinely give you money

I just learned about modalzmodalzmodalz.com and I am assuming I'm late to the party but HELL YES I love it
