be the bitch doing something yourself that you want to see in the world

new (anti-)social skill: look at the list of people who liked an unnecessarily aggressive post and preemptively block them all 💗✨

The only thing that beats having some of your best friends at home for dinner is when one of them is a friggin cocktail master. México City SIG Release dinner with @veronicalg.bsky.social and @cpanato.dev .

One of our most popular features, now available with nodejs! Also a sneaky customer reference 👀

I had a tendency to believe that everyone around me was technically smarter and more talented than I. This lead me to some silly stories, like:

has @thorfour.dev made it to kubecon yet?

We're hosting a happy hour for those at in Atlanta for #KubeCon. It starts in a half hour! Bundle up though! I saw snowflakes outside earlier ❄️ luma.com/vc0jjgcm

I often think about how men can be perceived as "going out of their way" to be helpful while the same behaviour in women is not perceived as extraordinary because it is expected in the social norm that women act as natural communicators and connectors who listen and help, mothers or not :)

If I owe you OSS work: emails, spreadsheets, cherry-picks, schedules, etc, today is the day I will get back to you. Just coming back from day job off-site 🤍✨

Happy Halloween folks! If you're looking for a way to make it memorable, you can grab a Manning book, say Elixir in Action, at 50% off this weekend 😅 www.manning.com/books/elixir...

the most powerful tool as a technical woman in tech, tbh ✌🏽

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

I've been using Kiro over the past week and it has been a game-changer for AI coding. So sleek and organised 💖. Great job @clare.dev & team.

Planning family holidays: Me, a North American: - "I think I will be on-call those days, but I can manage, let's do it." My European partner's family: - "Let's do it, but sadly, we will *ONLY* be able to join for 10-12 days" lol.

A future generation (probably not so far away) will look on us placing workloads in a region like "us-east-1" the same way we look back at the days of apps being run on "ardbeg", the trusty Dell server at the top of rack 1.

- Came looking AWS outage info/opinions. - Instead found a very poor take about something else haha!

OH: - "How do you do on-call for a database (company)?" - "Just make sure that all the things that need to replicate are replicating and call it a day"

I almost had a heart attack 😨

I am flying from NY to a country for which I don't need a visa. As I was boarding, the gate agent asked me to see my visa. I said that I don't need one and she said she meant my US visa. To be clear, I am leaving, not entering the US, and she still wanted to see my US visa.

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

Verónica's Book Club when?

I know I'm fully healed because now my drunk texts are telling @rakyll.org how pretty she is 😂

My favourite thing about working in upstream Kubernetes is my team and the way we always have each other's backs. I had a savage couple of months, so I had to be away. Was I given a hard time? Never. Was I welcomed with a big smile today that I came back? Yes. Solid crew tbh 💙✨

Have you written a line of code that looks like this? Then you're probably doing Authorization wrong. Our latest video explores why this is the case - from the lens of technical debt, people, and also performance at scale. We discuss this here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGtG...

Smart people who look at everything as a zero-sum game, immediately become less smart from my perspective. People with strong opinions, who are able to change their minds in the presence of evidence without unnecessary resistance, are the type of people I admire the most ✨

Desert Mouse ✨

the kindness of strangers in unlikely places after a long day feels like sweet honey to the soul 🪷

over the past several months I have dealt with situations that I thought I would not need to deal with again, and I have to say that it has been more frustrating than I would like to admit. The difference is that now i have much better tools to navigate them...

Me: what day is today? B: May the 4th... may the forc... Me: oh no 🙄, please don't tell me it's Star Wars people day, I'm having a good time

For several months now I keep coming back to the principle of Ahimsa—non-violence in Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism. It’s the sweet spot between abstention and intervention: active non-harming rather than passive non-action, not only protecting others; also self-protection. The calibration never ends 🌿

Have you ever met anyone who has an active Diners Club credit card?

Greetings from the Himalayas ✌🏽✨

Honestly tired of the western approach to health marketing for women my age: freeze your eggs so you can have babies later (this one is supposed to be an "empowering" thing) & getting obsessed with your protein intake.

New video drop and it's a hot take 🔥 Don't use JWTs for Authorization! youtu.be/_cgcg-h4vJs?...

I would do anything for the person, animal or alien (legal or illegal) who shows up with a decent Aperol Spritz at my door within the next 20 min.
