It’s probably around performance review season for your org! If you’re asked to write feedback for your peers (or reports!!) consider that not all value comes from lines of code. Here’s a sketch I made, with content by @FakeRyanGosling, and inspired by @whereistanya’s talk!

1/5 Seems like the Giphy deal is strategically great for FB and probably gave Giphy the lifeline it needed. FB gets valuable intelligence - Giphy is embedded into many top apps and the SDK requires disclosing user deviceIDs. What? You thought they bought it for the gifs?

Just a couple of hours until #PHPMiNDS this evening - we hope to see you there to learn about TLS Load Balancing with HAProxy and Let's Encrypt - we'll share the link to the @jitsinews Meet call around 1815.

An absolute blast of a #TechNott tonight! Thank you to @annashipman for a brilliant talk and Q&A, and thank you to everyone for throwing themselves into our first online Open Spaces activity with such enthusiasm!

Fuck this noise. PHP allowed a generation of people to play with building dynamic web sites, and made it simple enough that they didn't need StackOverflow to get things done.

"I don't have time to write tests". Do you have time to: 1. Run the app manually after each change 2. Investigate and fix broken builds 3. Investigate and fix QA errors 4. Investigate and fix production errors Add all that up. Writing automated tests *saves* time.

Looking back, I kinda regret not asking some of my ex-managers more about how they work before taking the respective roles. It can be easy to underestimate the impact one person can have on your career in the early years.

Instead of "Advice for being a woman in Science", can we agree to just have "How to not be an asshole that drives women out of science" course for men? I am sick of all the advice. It puts the work on women how to navigate a shitty system made for and by men.

I’ve heard being a man on the Internet compared to using an adblocker: same Internet, but you see a lot less shit. So I did this for a few people, so they could experience what it’s like to be a non-man online, at least a bit. To see what it’s like with the adblocker turned off.

Quarantine work !== Remote work. I’ve been working remotely with success for 13 years, and I’ve never been close to burn out. I’ve been working quarantined for over a month and I’m feeling a tinge if burn out for the first time in my life. Take care of yourself folks. Really.

Firefox is working properly. The "unintended behavior" is that the Twitter devs only ever tested whether the cache is kept in Chrome after using a non-standard Chrome-specific way to have the cache wipe itself. Basically the "our page works best! in IE6!" of 2020

Hugs to Twitter engineering who had to deal with their security incident. Frowns at Twitter comms for phrasing this to sound like it was somehow Firefox's fault.
