Ok, time to join The Great Migration. I still have a lot to figure out, but you can find me at https://t.co/89WIKzU2Lb I’ll try and locate as many friends from here as I can, but threading your Mastodon handle to this message would help.

How people conduct themselves is as important as their list of accomplishments. The 👏 how 👏 matters👏.

Elon Musk asked Twitter employees who agreed to click “yes” on a form in the email. Those who don’t by 5PM Thursday will be let go with 3 months severance.

I guess I’ve been doing management all wrong. 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t get all the hate for the Twitter 2.0 email, I’ve always done my best when working 80 hours a week for a man child who has no clear goals and screams “MORE HARDCORE” whenever a clarifying question is asked. That’s when I really thrive.

I was once asked to come back and work for a company that fired me, so I do have some sense of how certain Twitter engineers are feeling right now. I offered an absurdly high per-hour consultancy rate which the company declined. At least we BOTH ended up feeling insulted.

Seeing all of the folks that I follow start to post their separate Mastadon links on different servers feels like high school graduation, watching all of my friends go to different jobs and colleges.

Unpopular opinion: Efficiency as a developer doesn’t mean to do things fast, it’s to do things properly so that the decisions we make today won’t slow us down in the future. Too many people thing you gotta write code as fast as one possibly can. I really don’t think so.

@copyconstruct @jack Micromanagement is one of the main failure states of a person who's a good engineer but not a good leader.

You can bet your ass I raised a bunch of blue voters. One of them drove two hours home from college last night so she could cast her vote, and then two hours back to campus.

One thing I know already. If not for voters under 30 ... tonight WOULD have been a Red Wave. CNN National House Exit Poll R+ 13 65+ R+ 11 45-64 D +2 30-44 D +28 18-29 #GenZ did their job.

Today marks my two-year anniversary with @NetflixEng It’s been a season of many changes and many challenges, both personal and professional. Most days, I still love this - the hardest and most rewarding job I’ve ever had.

Another shock to the system that is the tech labor market. It’s going to take us quite some time, collectively, to bounce back. My heart goes out to everyone at Meta today. ❤️

Amen. You don’t get my best work when I’m past the point of exhaustion, anyway. Any company I would care to contribute to values seeing me rested, healthy, and capable of creativity and compassion.

@sarah_edo I will NEVER STRESS MYSELF OUT FOR A COMPANY the way I have in the past. If I have to weavebaskets and herd literal cats I’m not going back to that.

Rumors are starting to leak about impending layoffs at Meta. If you work there, I imagine your anxiety level is mighty high. Wishing for peace and certainty for all y’all. ❤️

I don’t know whether it’s been more disappointing to be a fan of the @Colts or of Democracy. Neither is having a very good season.

Most debilitating, most controlling emotion (and it’s not even close) is shame. Fuck shame.
