TIL that if you hit @SlackHQ's conversations.create API fast enough you can create multiple Slack channels with the same name before the uniqueness validation kicks in

Never, ever, ever shut up about how much you hate N///F///Ts. Being loud works.

Also, props to the developers working with Team17 who came out immediately to say they disapproved of this scheme.

Every year there are a SLEW of accusations of racism, sexism, transphobia against a tech company or event. Every year. Despite the groups & initiatives & newsletters & "DEI" education & anti-racist reading lists... Every year it's the same shit.

Legitimately don't know what to do with myself today. Hiring processes require astronomical patience.

Part of this is my own fault. I pretty much only pursue roles I'm _really_ interested in. I'm pursuing one I'm not stoked about right now because "I should" and it just drains me. It's tough to be selective and then still get rejected, ghosted, or just forced to wait.

I wish we as an industry would stop underfunding and abandoning open source 🙃 relatedly i'm spending the rest of my week fixing stuff _again_ because of lack of lack of investment and support over the last several years

Wordle’s creator deserves to be handsomely compensated for his work and creativity. The game will live on with all the open source clones / spin-offs no matter what NYT decides to do with the original.

I was in the middle of interviewing an ex-CIA agent. I hit mute to listen. But then tried to talk while on mute and he heard me! He heard me through mute! I was like, wait what the... Turns out I had the wrong mic muted.
