If you think teaching children "sometimes kids have two dads, because some boys love other boys instead of girls, and that's okay" is in any way 'sexual' or 'groomimg', YOU are the danger to children.

Having syntax memorized doesn’t prove you’re smarter than anyone. It’s a cool trick that implies your memory works well for a type of recollection. That’s not a knock to someone in either category. But please don’t use it as justification of brilliance or even experience.

I saw the Creative Director at an old job of mine put an unplugged keyboard in front of a designer during an interview and asked him to show him Adobe shortcuts. The candidate had well over a decade of experience and was a Senior Designer. It was embarrassing to watch.

I had an interviewer ask me to type some commands from memory recently. I replied that on the job one is not going to rely on pure memory and If I can look it up fast enough in front of them that should be sufficient. They relented and we continued.

Was just asked to apply to be a Google Women Techmakers Ambassador. No way. I am not using the little social reach I have to promote the harmful work of Google. And using inclusivity to draw women (or any marginalised folk) into promoting Google is 🤮

hi @TwitterEng - you broke the fallback case in the tweet embedding js for deleted tweets. Previously they would not be decorated and show the <blockquote> html version. Now they're turned into empty white boxes. Do you want us to go back to screenshots?

I tried for years to get Spotify to pay open source sponsors but they didn’t want to hear it, nobody wanted that in their budget. Maybe things are changing, I hope my former colleagues can reply with corrections to this: Spotify doesn’t contribute it’s fair share to FOSS it uses.

Meanwhile, at my current employer GitBook (~30 employees), our CEO _asked me_ to organize Open Source sponsorship! We’re on track to spend over $20,000 this year supporting FOSS. opencollective.com/gitbook github.com/orgs/GitbookIO…

I’m under no illusions that this covers a tech salary, and I know is split across a few projects. We aren’t the ones with an $11b revenue though. 👀 We’re also one user (and one sponsor) in a pool of many for most of our sponsored projects.

The SerenityOS Browser now passes the Acid3 test! 🥳🐞🌍 AFAIK we're the first new open source browser to reach this milestone since the test originally came out. This has been a team effort over the last couple of weeks, and I'm so proud of everyone who contributed! 🤓❤️
