I'm going to be talking about Fault at @strangeloop_stl this year! 🙃 I'm going to struggle to live up to all the great languages that have debuted there 😭😭😭

I normally wouldn’t post location information but the asshole just asked for the name of the conductor who made him sit in his assigned seat. If he complains to @Amtrak I want to post a counterpoint: JR IS AMAZING GIVE HIM A RAISE FOR PUTTING UP WITH THIS SHIT.

Seriously there is a grown man throwing a tantrum because they will not force another passenger to move so he can sit with his friend (another full grown adult man!)

I’m on the 2166 @amtrak #acela and I want to applaud all the staff in 1st who have had to deal with the WORLDS BIGGEST ASSHOLE and have done so with incredible grace and dignity.

So much fun hanging out with rural broadband providers. They do such important work so it was an honor to be asked.

Great selection @SSBDupont today 😂😂😂

🎙️ Marianne Bellotti talks about “Murder Boards”, which started at NASA as part of the engineering process. “Sometimes murder really is the best way to get through a hard problem.” 🕵️ #craftconf @bellmar

I’ll worry about AI when AI can pick up a shift on an on call rotation. Well actually … I won’t worry, I’ll be on a 🏝️ somewhere 😎 But point is tech decisions only matter in the context of operations. If it can’t be maintained, it doesn’t matter how fast/cheap it was to build

I can typically sort meeting information into three buckets: things that are true, things that are false, and things that are true but irrelevant — @bellmar, Kill it with Fire

It’s amazing how often the answer to the question “why didn’t you do it this way” is “because that technology did not exist at the time” 😂😂😂

At big companies you often run into old terrible code that’s still not been fixed and curse the person that wrote them years ago. I’ve done it plenty, I can’t help it. I was once the first engineer at a startup and was there for 14 years. So I’ve been in meetings where a

My advice: take a job at any company that’s 11 years old 😁😁😁

OH: LLMs are basically databases that suck.

I die a little when I get it wrong. I want you to feel welcome but I’m human. I can’t keep track of all of this.

Look, I’m not judging. But this is actually really stressful on people trying to be good hosts/hostesses so maybe remind me upfront? Because it’s actually getting pretty insane. I feel like I need to start keeping a database.

The last six months I’ve had a strict vegetarian who decided they eat meat now, a gluten free (for medical reasons) decide they can have a cheat day and grin and bear the aftermath and a long time friend declare that they cannot have fish oil and don’t eat pork or beef.

I’m mortified by the idea that I might invite someone out only to pick a place or menu where there’s only one thing you can eat (or nothing!) so please PLEASE if you’re restrictions have changed SAY SOMETHING.

This might just me but… I find it extremely difficult to keep everyone’s dietary restrictions straight. It used to be just life threatening allergies and vegetarianism or kosher but now it’s a complex array of preferences.

Why did it take a year for HBO to rec Tokyo Vice to me? 🤩🤩🤩
