Here's your periodic reminder to leave the campground cleaner than you found it

Wow, I just tried using Twitter, Instagram and YouTube natively on iOS and it was an unbelievably bad experience. Ads & promoted content are everywhere, the real stuff you want to see is pushed down immensely. Using browser versions with adblockers fixes it 😫

Dividing the world into vaccine haves and have-nots is like dividing a swimming pool so it has a "pissing end" and a "no pissing" end. We're still all in the same pool. Humanity has a shared epidemiological destiny. 8/

A team is a system. No one part of the system is responsible for its success. Success comes only from the system as a whole.

Microservices are not problem free. Monoliths are not problem free. If you’re moving from one to the other because of problems you’re having, make sure you understand the new problems you’re about to have.

Why are people acting like "the metaverse" is a real thing beyond an elaborate rebranding move from Facebook

"The automobile has dissolved the living tissue of the city. Its appetite for space is absolutely insatiable; moving & parked, it devours urban land, leaving buildings as mere islands of habitable space in a sea of dangerous & ugly traffic." —James Marston Fitch, NY Times, 1960.

This. Even if we only think of the product team here, I think of artifacts and outcome as "ours". Collectively owned, and at best also co-created.

Tech jargon is funny to me because there are people that can explain tech concepts in a way that a 5th grader would understand, but they're looked over bc they don't sound like they hold a phd in Comp Sci. Communication is such an underrated skill in tech.

Everybody is hiring Software Developers, nobody is hiring Software Maintainers. You know, just an observation.

Picard management tip: Don't try to go at maximum speed all the time. You'll burn out your engines.

Fantastic speech and very clear message to act now

Tomorrow's encyclopedia: "Panopticon: see META."

Tomorrow's encyclopedia: "Experience machine: see META."

I will just leave it here 😇
