Hi Twitter. I need your help.
A few years ago, I had a freak accident that sent me into catastrophic kidney failure. I've been struggling to find a kidney donor ever since. I'm in dire need of a type O+/- kidney and ask that you please share my story.

Since time immemorial, when a CEO asks a PM at Product Review, “what do you need to 10X users/revenue?”, “what will make you go faster?”, etc the PM steadfastly responds “We need [N] more engineers”. The Eng Mgr nods approvingly.
A story thread, with some hard truths to swallow:

an interviewer once said they didn't have slack or their work email on their phone because "there's no such thing as a design emergency" and that's the exact moment when i deleted slack and email from my phone

I once vented to a C-level about all the problems I was facing with reports/peers/stakeholders, and how I feared politics was taking over the culture of the company.
"Brandon, the only antidote to company politics is growth."
that really stuck with me over the years

I just looked up my ballot online and saw it was rejected because of something re my signature. I called and was able to fix it with a series of identity confirming protocols. If you live in a state where you can check on your ballot online please do! I never would have known.

I've noticed that consciousness recedes when I'm deep in a coding phase, many back-to-back days in flow. My mind narrows to tunnel-vision, fixated on the software and its issues. My sense of self shrinks; non-code ideas cease to arise; I get less curious; writing yields little.

I’ve reviewed over 750 PR’s at AWS. As my team’s tech lead I provide insightful feedback and enforce a high code quality bar.
But as a jr engineer I couldn’t review code. I didn’t know where to start, what to look for or how to comment.
Here’s how I review PR’s. 🧵 👇
