I've set up a self deprecation accountability scheme at work with a few other women, so that if anyone says "this is probably a silly question" or "this might be a stupid idea" someone else will message the group to tell them it's not stupid

An apartment complex was recently purchased in Charlotte, NC by a Wall Street investment firm. Rent was $950 a month, now it's $1,800 a month. That's not inflation, that's greed.

This certainly happened, but I don’t think it was ever “the standard”. The fact that it worked, though, made me stoked 100% of the time. I’ll counter with the fact that when this happens, it almost always worked fine for the user.

Remember way back in the day when the standard for writing Chef recipes was basically "fuck the DSL, we'll write raw Ruby!" ? Before everyone realized maybe that wasn't the best idea? I just saw AWS CDK code for the first time, and boy, things sure do seem familiar

I've never been good at to-do lists - I never remember to actually look at the list, and if I set notifications I often miss or ignore them. Sometimes I just put events in my calendar when I need to do things. Anyone like me & got a better system that actually works for them?

Don’t sleep on LinkedIn. Yes there’s lots of 🗑 but there’s also really great content. For example, here’s a very relatable counter on quiet quitting. I’m certain that almost every Black woman & WOC can relate to this.

confused about cloud jargon? don't be, it's simple: serverless: app has servers, they're just owned by amazon multi-cloud: app is split over two different amazon accounts microservices: instead of amazon owning one of your big things, they own 100 of your little things (easier!)

It's pretty, but if I want my own custom local devdocs.io — and I do — then medium-term I probably want to think about holding it in something more db-driven like Trilium or SiYuan.

after Adam Levine cheating on his wife let’s remember & normalize the fact that cheating was never about a woman’s lack of beauty, worth or anything for that matter but instead a man’s abundance of insecurities, unworthiness & desperation. don’t let men manipulate that reality
