Yesterday, my son informed me that many #microsoft dev jobs don’t ask for degree… I am happy for this change and hope others follow too..

I miniaturised and laminated my doctorate certificate so that it fits in my purse and it amuses me no end. Haven't yet "accidentally" tried to pay for something with it - oh whoops SORRY thats just my PhD. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

It doesn’t mean that we should enable them to tell racist, homophobic, transphobic etc jokes in the name of comedy. Ask yourselves why you think these jokes are funny and then you have your answer. It shouldn’t prevent us from calling out the problematic

Want it to be open source? Great! Go for it. Want it to have all the upsides of open source, and none of the side effects that might make you uncomfortable? Get the fuck right out of town with that. The upside of being open should come with the potential for others to benefit.

If you think pair programming is inefficient, try waiting hours to get your code reviewed & having to context switch between tasks while you wait. And then switch back when you get the feedback & have to rethink your approach because you weren’t discussing it as you wrote it.

if the “boss makes a dollar, i make a dime” line was real amazon workers would all have 19 billion dollars. if the “boss makes a thousand and gives me a cent” line was real, amazon workers would all have over 100 million dollars

The moment I start _thinking_ about something it becomes a WIP because thinking _is_ work. If thinking wasn’t work, I think a lot of us would have far more energy at the end of the day.

Does it count as work in progress if I haven't started on it yet?

As a society, we were willing to call a man “Puff Daddy,” then “P. Diddy” and then just “Diddy.” But if a Trans person asks us to use the pronouns “they/them,” we freak out?

Not a great leading indicator when the person in charge of the hostile product decision gets promoted to lead up the whole dev division, including GitHub. One of the worst parts of devrel is when management decides to ring the register and sell off the earned developer trust.

The recent open source moves by Microsoft are interesting. On one hand, I love the power of a vocal community; on the other, I hate to see community/devrel teams left to clean up after a bonehead decision from an executive who is clearly disconnected from the reality of the work.
