If you are a senior/staff software engineer or architect, what advice would you give someone hoping to pivot into tech fresh now and be where you are in 10 years?

Yesterday I was focusing on writing some docs at work whilst listening to #Hamilton in the background. It got up to “It’s Quiet Uptown” and I just burst into tears? Can anyone relate? 🥴

I've had tears streaming whilst driving to work when Quiet Uptown came on. It gets me every damn time

Well-connected media folks trying to talk to teens on twitter today. If you want to make a difference to them, try employing the working class ones who don't have mummy or daddy in the biz & can't afford to coast on unpaid internships. Diversity & opportunity, not pithy tweets ☺️

Is Epic Games doing all this as a form of activism? They set up the bait which Apple took, had the video, and even the paper ready! Like, the legal action must cost a lot, right?

No, YOU had A3 size Renaissance style portraits made of your cats... 🤭🤣

LOOK HOW PRETTY I AM! Thrilled with my new headshots from the talented and extremely patient @JoEmmersonPhoto. Thanks v much to whoever it was on here who recommended her.

First haircut in 7 months 😅 I nearly cried when my hairdresser did the head massage thing - was too lovely after so long! This weather is causing *a lot* of frizz though... 😒

Adding an electric standing desk to this “office space” really feels like putting lipstick on a pig but damnit, I’m excited about this upgrade! side note: cord management is still a WIP, pls don’t judge me too harshly

Okay I'm sorry but this question mark is super passive-aggressive and I don't like it

Best voting advice: Voting isn’t marriage. It’s public transport. You’re not waiting for "the one". You’re getting on the bus. And if there isn’t one going exactly to your destination, you don’t stay home and sulk. You take the one that’s going closest to where you want to be.

Would be interesting for teams to have (informal) code review reviews once or twice yearly to calibrate nit-picking levels and gauge the split in focus between syntax, structure and UX/DX. You can write docs for this stuff but I think many of us can learn from each other.

Do you use the Web PKI? Anything written in Rust? Wasm? Do you like Let's Encrypt? Do you support net neutrality? Are you opposed to Oracle's position in the Google Vs Oracle APIs debate? Then even if you never touch Firefox, you have things to be thankful to Mozilla for.

Mozilla's work on Firefox is a drop in the ocean of the impact Mozilla has. Advocacy, policy, research, developer tooling, standards work. I don't know what your specific issues with Mozilla's current behaviour are (happy to discuss) by I respectfully disagree. We need them.

I have been going back and forth over whether I should post this, but here it is. Today is 1 year since my last and most serious suicide attempt. I am thankful to the stranger, police and paramedics that saved my life that night. Because of you I have a future. This is me today.

Having seen some vile comments on otherwise sensible threads, I'm rather pleased with this ability to limit replies. I don't see it as much different to moderating comments on your blog. Yes, Twitter is a walled garden, but that doesn't mean you can't prune the weeds.

Friend breakups (I mean good, longterm, very close and intimate friendships) are, in my experience, much more emotionally devastating than romantic breakups. And yet, unlike romantic relationships, we have almost no socialization (even in media images) on how to navigate them.
