Okay, so. My dad died late Saturday night/early Sunday morning. He had ALS, so we knew it was coming, just not so soon. We were going to go see him in the new year, but now we're having to work out flights and tests and everything. I don't have details. I just miss him.

sorry, really disagree that it’s just an aesthetic. cynical tweets about other companies do great on twitter, so hugops is a less trendy but more empathetic response from a specific part of the field recognizing job complexities; a _more_ advanced conversation IMO.

“hugops” is just a way to tweet about a company’s outage without looking like a jerk, but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation

I mean, yes? That is the point of it? We enjoy dissecting outages and hugops is to indicate that we still sympathize with those fighting the fire even as we speculate about it.

There's an even bigger issue with live coding than "just" the potential impact on diversity. If you do stressful live coding, you're excluding a massive population. "A large population of people are impacted by performance anxiety (est. 40% of all adults in the U.S. [23])."
