I wish that Twitter would let you pin tweets that weren't your own. I'd definitely have this one pinned

Most people see management as an authority role, but it's not. It's a service role.

Hello Chicago and hello #KubeCon! 6 more hours to survive until sleep to beat the jet lag, so this feels like a good time to start a new book

It feels like I see someone asking “how do I let pull requests from forks access my GitHub Actions secrets?” every other day. It turns out that it's not too hard to have both security _and_ a great developer experience. https://t.co/3t1J3m2guf

Fun fact: the reason that \ acts like a line continuation in Bash is not because Bash added special support for line continuations, but rather because the \ is literally escaping the following newline character

OKRs get flung about a lot in companies, but rarely are they explained as clearly as @mheap manages to in under 15 minutes. https://t.co/tAxbQ4kttP

The best managers don't look like they're doing much of anything because they've put in motion a system steers itself towards its desired outcomes without requiring their constant intervention. This is difficult to value in a context where individual performance must be measured.

I just heard Quiet Quitting referred to as “Acting Your Wage” and I can’t work out if I love it, or if I hate the implication that pay can compensate for feeling valued

It makes even more of a difference for OSS projects that I touch every couple of months If it was work related I’d do it day in, day out and never forget. Some of these projects get 1 release a year, and not having to rediscover the release process every time is priceless

The single biggest gift that past-me gave to current-me is that I can tag a release on GitHub, and no matter where the project is released to, it _just works_ It means people can use new functionality as soon as it's ready, rather than batching up and releasing monthly
