Curious about how the sales function works in most tech companies? I wrote some words on this (it’s targeted towards DevRel folks but might be interesting for almost anyone!) dev.to/mattstratton...

I’m hiring a Staff Developer Educator on my team at Tiger Data! www.tigerdata.com/careers/859b... If you love helping developers learn, write great docs, and make complex tech approachable, this could be a great fit. Remote across North America

For those heading to #Kubecon Atlanta, when are you planning on leaving? I can't make it due to a company onsite ( 🙄 ) but am thinking about flying in Thursday night to hang with you all and then leaving Saturday... Who's in?

Deep thought for the evening: DEgypt is smaller than Russia, China, and the US combined

Quality win for #ManUtd there, even with the defensive lapses that allowed Brighton back into it, they kept fighting and sealed it 4-2.

Regardless of what serial #ManUtd hating Graeme Le Saux says, United is playing really well and the 2-0 lead before half is well-earned and deserved. Graeme didn't have much success against them when he played for Chelsea and Blackburn (2w, 3d, 10 losses), and it certainly shows as he's so biased.

Sometimes life's simple pleasures is sitting outside, drinking a michelada, and watching people try to parallel park

A grasshopper just flew at me as I opened up my apartment garage door. Anyone have a good place to live?

Damn... Placebo's cover of "Running Up That Hill" is daaamn good music.youtube.com/watch?v=dAHf...

First World Series between two cities threatened with invasion or invaded by a U.S. president.

Hell yes! What a pass from Amad and a great recovery (after Van Dijk knocked down him and his own teammate) and finish from Mbuemo #GGMU #ManUtd

Happening now: Here’s a view of the “No Kings” protest in Washington, DC

At the #NoKings protest, and seeing some great signs "End the ICE Age" "Hey Trump Habeus Corpus is not a person you dumbass" "JD Vance is coming for your couch"

But you still can

Unlike Trump, I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care. I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.

Nice relaxing Sunday morning on my balcony

I had a lot of fun talking to you Claire Giordano. Thanks for the invitation. I also wrote something about what inspired this topic dev.to/bmejias/how-... I hope the episode is useful to #PostgreSQL folks and anyone actually.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

it’s going to be awkward when ICE accidentally kidnaps Qatari soldiers

In this moment of anxiety, please enjoy a baby goose falling out of an adult gooses wing. Yes I wrote that sentence. Yes this happened. Yes it's ADORABLE. No I don't think I'll capture a cuter goose moment this year. 🐣 🪶

When you step out of a shop on a busy street, don't just stop. That's how you get run over.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Can't quite put a finger on why...

Welp

OH: I had only a vague relationship with gravity after that night

I get your intent but maybe don't tell the lady with code on Mars that she's in for a rude awakening for not embracing AI, when I've literally seen this shit barf my own code back at me.

It's @sogrady.org kicking off #Monktoberfest

Worst drum circle ever - and I love them all #monktoberfest

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

OH: You asking me about sports is like me asking you about yaml indentation

Makes sense. 🙄

Finally watched "Happy Gilmore 2" on the bus ride from Boston to Portland and #monktoberfest and was pleasantly surprised. The cameos are fantastic, some surprises even, and while it kept some of the goofs from the first, it wasn't a repeat of the first. Definitely would watch again.

I will say if that whole military meeting had been an email it would have been a pretty weird email

With @monktoberfest.com upon us, who is going to be joining me? And when do you get in? #monktoberfest

My @kcdc.bsky.social talk "Developer Experience is more than just Productivity metrics" feedback came in, and I appreciate those that provided feedback (6 out of the 44 in attendance). Here are the slides if you missed them: speaking.jmeiss.me/uerwpC/devel... Thanks again to #KCDC for having me!

Finally... @wordman.dev and I are seeing #Blink182 tonight

NEW SEASON OF SLOW HORSES!!

Tell Cersei it was me

The Beach Boys' "Kokomo" is playing at this bar, and it's throwing me back to Jr High crushes

Here's the second slide deck from #CommunityOverCodeNA on how the principles of a flywheel with #DevEx can help your #opensource communities speaking.jmeiss.me/GFZPnW/its-n...

I gave a couple presentations recently at #CommunityOverCodeNA on how #DevEx != Developer Productivity and how to use the principle of a flywheel and DevEx to grow your #opensource communities. Here's the first slide deck: speaking.jmeiss.me/htJvdi/devel...

Let the chaos begin...

Why isn’t every local news broadcast opening with, “What are the ‘Groypers’, and how do you know the signs of your son is part of the deadly gang?”

OH on Minneapolis street: True that? True that.

OH: The tingle was amazing.

Turns out the shooter wasn't trans and the bullets didn't have trans supporting etchings. Maybe, just maybe we stop blaming trans folks every time a shooting happens? Clearly they're not to blame.

Oh hell yes! The 7th @scalzi.com book in the Old Man's War series comes out in a few days! The Shattering Peace - Tor Publishing Group share.google/NAOoGtqazpQb...
