A demo of how fast you can turn positive: Yesterday morning, yesterday lunchtime, yesterday evening, this morning. Do LFTs *just* before meeting up.

Being all nostalgic as it's reaching the end of 2021 and I am SO FREAKING PROUD of and amazed by how much the teams I have been involved in have progressed and grown in the last 12 months and what they've achieved.

i have an aneurysm when someone complains a game isn't "optimized", like it's a slider you turn up in unity, bc i know AAA games hinge on some unsung genius who found out load time drops 10% if you arrange filesystem entries just the right way or some other fucking devil magic

Whenever I got to share good news, I’d always make sure to specify it’s good news EARLY in the message like this. Nothing worse than a person in power springing a surprise on someone they have more power over

100% the vulnerability and exploit are bad and mitigation should be done ASAP. However, that doesn't mean log4j is a bad library to use (which is how I read it and the point I was trying to make is log4j isn't bad, just the vulnerability).

I'm doing that on the new site. Hugo was a little pain to work with sometimes so I stopped "fixing" the code. Now i'm working on the new site which should be up in 2022 (soon).

This time 3 years ago I was at the most uncomfortable work meeting of my life. The CEO called a meeting in his home and just berated and belittled leadership for 5 days. Totally demotivating. Toxicity starts at the top.

seems like the entire internet is built on either small open source projects run by a couple folkx for free, and the gigantic cloud infrastructure run by a couple of companies. when either one is borked, the world goes poof

I don't want to embarrass folks like @cassidoo and @techgirl1908. But I'm having a moment where I can see how much has changed about who gets recognition and admiration in the dev community. We are choosing better leaders, and it shows the growth we've been pushing for.

Yikes. TL;DR: Employee talks to HR about discrimination. Google suggests (on-campus) counseling. Google has access to notes from those sessions (!!) and used them against her in court (!!!). So much for that employer-provided "perk". Story here: nytimes.com/2021/07/28/us/…
