If you’d given me 1,000,000,000 guesses of things that would happen in 2022, “creator of Veggietales implying Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber are trans in a Twitter thread where he’s asking other Christians how drone strikes are okay but abortion isn’t” wouldn’t come up.
Today the
@code
team shipped remote development and my mind is 100% blown 🤯
This is absolutely awesome. Now, the power of your personal machine *does not matter*. This unlocks so much potential.

Microsoft has apparently decided to name Edge on Android "Microsoft Edge: AI Browser".
I'm so deeply disappointed at every decision that Microsoft leadership makes around Edge. It's like every time they're presented with two options, they intentionally chose the worse option.
extremely disappointed that
@github
changed the mask policy from “required” to “optional” for GitHub Universe 3 weeks before the event.
that kind of bait and switch isn’t okay.
How to start any new Node.js project:
$ npx license mit > LICENSE
$ npx gitignore node
$ npx covgen YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS
$ npm init -y
You're ready to start coding.
lmao I didn't realize
@DHH
's post literally boils down to him having a tantrum over an email from the RailsConf program committee saying the stage should be shared with other contributors
gonna say something I’ve been talking with multiple friends about recently:
Just because you can be successful in tech without a college degree does not mean that college degrees are useless.
It’s really weird to see the conversation very aggressively going that direction.
i fundamentally do not understand people who think that they'll get a problem solved by threatening open-source maintainers by saying they'll stop using the project
like... ok bye
I feel like the more senior I get, the more of my “work” becomes syncing with people to make sure everyone has context and everyone’s moving in the same direction?
Always retweet people who are looking for jobs.
You do not know which of your friends or followers are beginning to search to fill a position, have been actively looking, or have the ability to hire someone.
You ✨ literally ✨ have the ability to change someone's life. Do it.
Bumble dating app disables political matching after women got together to match with white nationalists coup crew. They did so to lure evidence out of men bragging of their involvement in US Capitol attack.
Bumble calls antifascism ‘misuse’.
Can you do me a favor?
If you use or like and open-source project that has a Twitter account, would you share it’s handle?
Want to get as large a sample as I can; appreciate any project regardless of language!
If you feel comfortable, I’d appreciate a retweet for reach ❤️
Every time I’m connecting a friend to an engineering role, their first question is “do they do remote?”
Often, the answer is unfortunately “no”.
So many companies are missing out on such amazing folks.
Some personal news: today is my last day at
@Microsoft
.
It’s been really great and I’ve had some absolutely amazing opportunities, but it’s time.
I’ll be taking a ~month and a half off to just relax a bit before starting my next role on June 13th 🎉
techleadhd is 100% engagement baiting at this point. Dunking on him as direct replies/QTs is giving him exactly what he wants.
the most obvious example is him saying he was *just* fired from FB. He wasn’t, that happened two years ago.
hot take for some, ice cold for others: integrating AI into products is a distraction and it’s going to burn billions of dollars if productivity.
It’s pretty clear this distraction has body slammed Microsoft’s leadership, and I’m guessing the same is happening at Google.
Super happy to share today that I'm moving internally at
@Microsoft
to the OSS team in
@azureadvocates
.
I'm going to be focusing EVEN MORE on
@nodejs
and JavaScript (surprise!) 💖
Interested in contributing to
@nodejs
but not quite sure how you can jump in?
I've just published a blog post on
@ThePracticalDev
that goes over everything you'll want to know to get started 🙌
With the release of
@nodejs
10.5.0, we've officially hit ✨ 500 ✨ releases of Node.js, across all release lines.
A truly incredible milestone, reached via many thousands of hours put into the project by ~2000 humans around the world over the past 9 years.
Here's to 500 more 🥂
I *know* a lot of y'all are still following this asshole.
At this point there's really no excuse. If you can take a look at this and decide it's still a totally okay and fine thing to continue following him, you're actively contributing to hate and exclusion.
Over the weekend I started a project to help more developers start contributing to
@nodejs
– I'm excited to share:
npx good-first-issue node
Run the above command, and it'll surface an issue labeled "Good First Issue" in the
@nodejs
GitHub org 🎉
Reading comments on a blog post about a CoC:
If you’re against CoCs and to protest you’re leaving the community because the CoC has become more inclusive...
1. You identified yourself as part of the problem
2. You removed your problematic self from the community
... thank you?
I'd have called you a liar if you told me 10 years ago that I'd read this:
- Microsoft ♥ Linux
- Microsoft is supporting the addition of Microsoft’s exFAT technology to the Linux kernel
- we will be making Microsoft’s technical specification for exFAT publicly available
apparently they didnt turn off 2-factor authentication but they DID turn off the service that sends you the 2-factor authentication code. so if you log out and try to log in with an authentication code you simply wont receive one. lol. lmao
Sad to lose friends who helped me get to where I am because they’ve gotten into cryptocurrency, NFTs, and the like and apparently see my choice to not have that content in my feed by unfollowing them.
idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not but:
please have a dedicated team to making small improvements to your product.
there will *always* be papercuts in your users' experience. add time to papercuts and they become infected and deadly.

hey 👋
☑ do you work at a company?
☑ do you have cool open-source projects?
☑ do you have issues labeled "Good First Issue" on those projects?
If you answered yes, you should share this command:
$ npx good-first-issue <your company's github org>
#HTML
/
#UX
tip for today:
Setting `autocomplete="one-time-code"` will allow your user to fill the input field with the auth code they've just received - without the need to manually copy it from a message.
