I’m also really happy with how my session includes guidance for designing great hover effects. This guidance is also available in the latest HIG too:

Tweeps, a friend of mine works at @getdbt and reached out asking for referrals. If any of these backend, front-end, or non-end roles look interesting, let me know and I can put in a good word for you.

Twitter was described as a rollercoaster. Turns out it was a rollercoaster in Class Action Park.

Tho to be real for a moment, I tweeted this while taking a hot cocoa break between new hiring trainings. But I have been doing some code and even managed to post a trivial PR. Every journey begins with a single step and 10-12 corporate policy videos, amirite?

After 5 weeks of personal fun time, I started a new job at @Apple this week. I’m still getting my sea legs in a new environment, but I’ve been feeling really refreshed, energized, and excited to build some fun new things!

6 years ago I joined Twitter to work on Periscope, not realizing just how great a team I was joining, or how impactful it’d be for my career. But everything comes to an end and today was my last day at Twitter. #lovewhereyouworked

Twice in a row my no-knead sandwich bread has developed this huge bubble at the top. What’s causing this? Putting it in the fridge after shaping maybe?

"shibboleth" is a shibboleth that distinguishes between people who know what a shibboleth is, and those who don't.
