Because backend is such a different space. You are in control. You tell the computer to do something, and it does it. Frontend is a constant battle. It's like raising a teenager who is always talking back and doing whatever they wanna do.

I just found out I have to wear a mask when I give birth! If I can wear a mask while I cry & scream & bleed & shit myself & push a human out of my body, you can wear a fucking mask to buy your bulk Cheez Wiz at Costco.

When the pubs re-open, it doesn't mean the virus has gone away. It just means they have room for you in intensive care.

There are two options here: 1. Time travel is a theoretical and practical impossibility, and always will be, or; 2. Time travellers have tried their best to fix 2020, and the version we're currently enduring is the best they could do. Both are equally terrifying.

the disturbing lack of time travellers arriving to stop 2020 happening suggests we never actually invent it

I think we need to stop calling it 'working from home' and start calling it 'living at work'

Alan Turing was born on this day in 1912. His innovations during WW2 saved up to 14 million lives. His country repaid him with forced chemical castration simply because he was gay. Alan then took his own life His story is a tragic reminder that law is not morality. #PrideMonth

Tech guy invents tool to deanonymise protestors and to evade privacy. If you're posting photos then block people's faces out completely, as pixilating has now been compromised. 🤦‍♀️

Imagine if Shake Shack actually did poison those milkshakes. And then the government was like, “please don’t do that.” And then they did it again and killed 1000 ppl every year for roughly 50 years. And then when ppl got upset and were like, maybe we should abolish Shake Shack

Who resparked the master branch convo right now? It's upsetting me and my homegirls. We are literally fighting to save lives and y'all are fighting to save a software term. We're in a war against racsim. Keep your ridiculous term (for now) and pick a bigger battle.
