Ruby on Rails made web development fun again and forced the entire industry to adapt and pay attention to developer experience long before it was cool. The impact of Rails is hard to overstate.

Let's say nice things about technology today. I'll start. If it wasn't for @lkanies and @puppetize, there is no way we would have been able to adapt as an industry to the rise of the cloud. Quote tweet me with your own.

It does take a while to get the confidence to just make the changes you think need to be made and put it up for PR review. Apparently I loose the confidence that I know what needs doing if I don't do code changes for a while.

Spending months doing mostly technical project management has obliterated my confidence to actually write, and make changes to, code. I find myself asking others "Hey can I just do this / add this / change this?" when the answer is just "Yes, that is your job Samathy."

TIL that you can make regex patterns in code comments auto-link somewhere within Android Studio just by modifying the .idea/vcs.xml file Works really nice for auto-linking to JIRA tickets etc!

See, it's not called "The Matrix" because of the two-dimensional grid, it's because "Matrix" is Latin for "womb"

This is brilliant. Kudos @JamieTanna for leading the way! The more transparent we are with each other when it comes to salary, the closer we are to equal pay. Inspired ✨ twitter.com/jamietanna/sta…

The wealth of UK billionaires is up by £106,500,000,000 in the pandemic. But instead of making them pay more, the Tories are raising National Insurance, hitting low paid & young workers the hardest. Social care should be funded with a wealth tax, not a tax on the working class.

Nope, for me it's the religious crusader vibe. Someone also suggested "crusader" to me once in a similar context. I had to point out that crusade is the literal translation of jihad to help them see how badly that translates outside of predominantly Christian communities.

The pandemic feels like the most significant event in modern history that I would actively avoid watching any movie about for the rest of my life.
