What if sites could specify their own
@arcinternet
actions via HTML metatags? The idea is we'd expose some core primitives, and then sites could build on top of that.
Would you find this useful? What would be on your wish list?

Life update: after 7.5 years, today is my last day at Pinterest.
I’m forever grateful to the team for taking a chance on an overly optimistic college dropout from the Midwest. This company has changed my life forever. 🖐🏻📌❤️

Tiny thing dropped in last week's
@arcinternet
release: Membership Card stamps!
It was fun to jam on these with
@karlamickens
&
@j_l_kelly
.
My favorite part — the stamps rotate and nudge themselves around when randomizing, just like on loyalty card stamps from coffee shops.

y'all have opened over 1M tabs in our GitHub Live Folder in the past week!
how can it be made better? what other integrations would save you clicks?
We are launching Live Folders today!
These folders are like little apps for your sidebar, bringing you what you need, when you need it

Real talk: working remotely can make you feel super lonely. Big fan of everyone trying it out, but it’s very easy to burnout *especially* when most of the team isn’t remote as well.
Strongly encourage anyone trying it out to heavily focus on mitigating this from the beginning.

Maybe my favorite part of this... since it's driven by metatags, people could boost sites to add behavior they want. 🤯

A few weeks ago I LOL’d @ the parenting advice “keep the kid alive and brush your teeth sometimes”. It’s very true - never have I appreciated a 2+ hour stretch of sleep like I do now. Also, very thankful for the generous parental leave policy

Some of you have asked, so here we go: for the foreseeable future, I’m going to be focused on childcare for our son.
It’s not ideal (I love to work!), but since I’m at high risk for COVID-19, we’re being extremely cautious & don’t want to risk having our nanny back in the house.

Having a “yes, and” day with Charlie is just what we both needed. If you’ve got kiddos, I can’t recommend this enough.
Ice cream for lunch? Please. Buy sister a gift, just because? Of course!
Paired with a little staycation downtown. Look at the joy on his face!

one of my fav sayings at
@browsercompany
has always been “we’re not making a web browser”
That’s why we raised $50 mil. That’s why we’re being so bold.
That’s ALSO why we started this company in the first place. That’s why we’ve been building at browser layer.
It’s never been about making a Browser, but waiting for opening to build a new OS… here it is, lucky!

Just went inside Whole Foods for the first time since Feb ‘20. Charlie’s first time since then, too (he was 5 months old). Absolutely loved it. We then walked to a coffee shop. And he’s seeing my mom for the first time since Christmas of ‘19. It’s 75 today. Great day. ❤️

Well, Mamaw got her 2nd vaccine a few weeks ago. She slipped her mask off for a few photos with the (not so little anymore) little man. So happy! ❤️

Finally arrived today; I love it! Not sure who’s happier about it 😂

It's a macOS app that sits in your menu bar & lets you quickly save/unsave

Have been using it all week. It's little, but I've wanted it for a long time.

The past few weeks have been pretty hectic.
My father-in-law passed away on the 19th; we celebrated his life today. Dave was a truly wonderful man.
I wish he could have been around to meet his grandson due later this summer, but I’m so thankful for the 14 years I’ve known him.

Me, at therapy yesterday: “yeah I am going to be intentional about taking better care of myself - 8h of sleep, eating well, etc…”
Me, last night: “yes I am going to stay up past midnight spit-shining the browser while eating Thai food and drinking beers”
It was fun though! 🤷🏼♂️

I used to do a lot of sell calls for candidates who were considering
@PinterestEng
. I’d often describe the product as “my happy place; where I go to be inspired and motivated to live a life I love”.
That’s been very true, especially the past few weeks.
