1/ I’m sorry to keep hammering on this story about @ElonMusk, but there are so many things to criticize. This is not up to @nytimes quality. First of all, there is issue that they take Musk’s statements at face value. This is journalistic malpractice. https://t.co/VcjhVodDv1

I still believe in the aspirations of DevOps, but I think it's time we admit that the way we've implemented it has let us down. Too many of us are stuck. It's time to start building again. We need a second wave of devops tools:

Imagine just ditching a $180 million/year business. That's what Google did with Google Domains. More than that they continue to tarnish their reputation for shutting down services which could give companies a legitimate reason to hesitate to use a Google solution in the future.

Our small team just launched Kaura, an app for meditation practice. If you have thought about meditation and haven't tried it yet or just would like an app to help you practice consistently, give Kaura a try https://t.co/9jBN8mOLuB #meditation #mindfulness #anxiety #iPhone

Consumers are not going to prefer GM's homegrown system and look elsewhere.

GM is making a very short-sighted decision to forgo Carplay and Android Auto in favor of an in-house solution to chase after subscriptions and mining driver data. Phones get updated far more often than cars which allows the "brain" to continue to get upgraded over the lifetime

I’ve been on this platform 15+ years. Giving it my creativity and engagement. Curating links for my audience. For free. I don’t think I need to be paying this service to have my fans see my stuff. In fact, for my labor and good work building an audience, they should be paying me.

You can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. Regex is not a tool that can be used to correctly parse HTML. As I have answered in HTML-and-regex questions here so many times before, the use of regex will not allow you to consume HTML. Regular

I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices. Elon just called me and asked if I could come back to help them regain access to HQ as they shut off all badges and accidentally locked themselves out.
