After a 2 day hiatus from #NaBloPoMo, today's post is about breaking your streak, and fighting the perfectionist urge to give up altogether. https://amyhupe.co.uk/articles/youve-broken-your-streak/

for no particular reason, thinking today about the time my workplace organized a macrame crafting session for the queer ERG and the instructor was like “wow you’re great at this! have you done macrame before?” to some of the participants and they were like “no but I… know how to tie a lot of knots” 😏 😂😂😂😂😂

haaaa I should probably change my email signature to _not_ mention that workers deserve more in emails about jobs 😬

@jalcine @jay Precisely. People who think fun emails like that (particularly, anything requiring technical proficiency to pull off) are red flags, are themselves red flags.

@tully@weirder.earth @jay@toot.zerojay.com yeah it doesn't matter and places where that's more important than the actual work wouldn't be a place for me anyhow - b/c wtf

It’s adorable that GitHub switched out to React and now the GitHub website keeps crashing. That’s sure an improvement over those awful progressively enhanced HTML pages, huh?

Attached: 1 image Every so often, you'll come across someone who seems okay. Deep down, though, they're troubled, confused, envious - and above all, sick to death of living a lie. It's me! I was that someone. After 30 years of pretending to be a boy, I put a stop to that. You can see here what happened next: I became the confident, friendly and happy woman that I was supposed to be all along! This #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, remember that we're all just trying to make the most of the life we have. Someone else you know may be wrestling with these same thoughts, and they deserve your kindness and empathy like everyone else. #Trans #TimelineTuesday

Can't help but think Netflix doing "real life Squid Game but it's just a gameshow" completely undermines the moral of the original Squid Game story, but I'm also not surprised in the slightest.

It's always a pleasure getting to speak with @adrianamvillela and this time we recorded it!

A central open source program office is a designated place where open source is supported, nurtured, shared, explained, and grown inside a company. With such an office in place, businesses can establish and execute on their open source strategies in clear terms, giving their leaders, developers, marketers, and other staff the tools they need to make open source a success within their operations. This guide aims to help you figure out why and how to establish a program to manage the open source use and creation inside your company, as well as to show how your developers can make their own contributions to open source projects outside your operations.

To hell with 'Thank you for your service'! Have a meaningful conversation instead. Get to know veterans you encounter; it's more meaningful.

I've been trying to invest more and more of my free time interacting with founders. I genuinely feel we've been through a lot with Sentry and I can provide some useful value to others. More so, I believe most people in this industry, most successful people, do others a disservice but not having honest conversations about the hardships and endurance it takes to succeed. As part of that I thought it'd be interesting, or at least therapeutic, to talk about some of the history in written form. I previously wrote about Sentry's Seed Funding, but I want to go deeper on some other topics this time around. I'm not entirely sure what future topics I'll cover, but hopefully you'll find some value in it.
