Joined April 2009
I wrote an in-depth article about using Tailwind in design systems. This is the reference I wish I had when I got started (and I've been using Tailwind for more than 6 years now, so there are some useful tips in here for even the most advanced Tailwind users)!
@luke_bennett_’s awesome talk on @tailwindcss and multi-brand design systems now comes in an ✨article format✨ A handy reference with all the links and code snippets you need to follow along at home 🧑🎓🧪 https://t.co/j6F0KnwxK8

Hot take: if you’re in a senior+ role, a part of your job is mentoring inexperienced people unless stated otherwise
Extremely hot (maybe bad) take. I really just don’t like working with inexperienced people. If mentoring new coworkers is part of the role - it should be stated in the job requirements.

We're talking about pre-commit hooks? Nice. I hate them. You should take as much compute time off your engineers as possible and put it on CI.

I still can’t get over the fact that you got on national tv and went this hard. Telling the audience to DM you for an address to squat in was chef’s kiss. Fucking legend ✊✊✊✊

The first step, was to convert the Starkcoin into Etherium so I can transfer it into a different wallet. The failed for seemingly no reason, and changed me $0.37 USD in "gas fees" for shits and giggles? This has to be some kind of sick joke right? 2/2

I recently received some Starkcoin (crypto) as part of an "airdrop" for open source contributions. I have no interest in owning crypto so I tried to go through the ridiculous process of trying to turn the pretend money into real money. 1/2

Always remember that any corporation telling you moderation is hard is lying. It's not hard, it's totally manageable, it's just really really expensive to do it the right way. Every corporation that says "we value free speech" means "we do not want to spend money on this".

This is great advice, I wish more people did this:
@housecor When teams say that, I find it often to be caused by the lack of code review culture. Something I advocate as the first thing in any team is "open PRs early." Open a PR the same day you start working on something. Give the others a way to take a peek to get up to date and even
