Wouldn't it be great if you could automatically renew the OAuth 2.0 tokens you generate in Postman before they expire without using pre-request scripts? 🙏🌠 youtu.be/FAhs9TBK-xU

Most of us who work on heavily used systems at scale saw this one coming, and that they would propose a rewrite as they just have, and we also don’t think this is the answer. This is why hubris is a very counterproductive quality in engineering. Why do we all agree on this?

Dude just taught us a bit of HTML, took his bags and peaced out, never even overthrew democracy or anything. What a guy.

So you do admit that it was a foolish idea to buy Twitter and pay $44B for a company that isn’t worth even $10B and destroyed Tesla stock by dumping $40 Billion past year. You just admitted it publicly.

He did the same at Facebook on my team. Joined, realised it couldn’t be done with a few overnight Red Bull sessions, and instead required real engineering, then bolted. Real artists ship, real engineers follow through, even if it’s boring

The guy is not even a good engineer, O dont know where he gets the hype and confidence. Real engineering is not the same as the jailbreaking stuff hes known for

I think the takeaway here is that no matter how smart you are, it’s not realistic to expect to effect meaningful change to complex systems in a short amount of time then leave. Same reason why consultants are not effective. No skin in the game/appreciation of how it came to be. twitter.com/realgeorgehotz…

You’d really like my work emails then, I try to jam parenthesis in parts that are already in parenthesis.

i love when ADHD people use parentheses because it’s like oooooh bonus context

I was incarcerated when I was a 14 year old child and it will never stop being weird and monstrous to me that the US has actual child prisons and we all just think that’s normal

It’s shocking how many Autists and ADHD’ers have Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)! Perhaps we are so used to being criticised for our differences, entirely blamed for mutual communication challenges, and told we have done something wrong, that we just come to expect rejection?

a list of nice things for you: a loved one sautéing onions in the kitchen, a soft cashmere scarf that makes you feel like you’re a romcom character, the clink of bracelets against each other, someone’s nose crinkling when they laugh, the thin wisp of smoke when a candle burns out

Some values like efficiency/performance and reliability are impossible to inject into the company culture at a later time. Regardless of your political capital, as an individual contributor, it’s hard if not impossible to deeply impact the company. twitter.com/id_aa_carmack/…

working with a team requires different skillset (e.g. people skill, team working) to being a 10x indie dev

Nah. He's a 10x "lone wolf" programmer who's only ever worked on startup projects, found out that large-org programming is hard, and got way deep in over his head. World's smallest violin over here.

Turns out when your new fancy search function needs to worry about things like scalability, design system consistency, abuse mitigation, multi-device support, and multi-language support, it's going to take a lot longer than two weeks to get a deployment out. Wild, huh?

My first talk in years (panels don’t count) will be at cfg mgmt camp in Ghent - if you want to learn some of what we’re thinking with @thesysteminit , come to Ghent!
