You are basically unstoppable once you decide "everything is figure-out-able."

Ted Lasso’s Season 2 starts tomorrow. If you want a masterclass in character writing, re-watch the Pilot episode. My Hollywood screenwriter buddy did a frame-by-frame breakdown for me. The show’s writers make us love Lasso…and it only takes 157 seconds. THREAD 🧵

At @atlassian we feel strongly that the conversation around tech regulation needs a consistent approach. Today, we released a set of principles that seek to balance the significant opportunities that tech presents and legitimate concerns of governments. atlassian.com/blog/technolog…
The team at NSW Health appear to be miracle workers. Kept things under control post Ruby Princess and now seem to be keeping things under control despite importing cases from Victoria. Lots of heroes out there but the NSW Health team are near the top of the list.

You did't hear @PhilGould15. But real experts including @normanswan @BillGates @DrTedros and even me started talking in December and January. It was @ScottMorrisonMP @GregHunt who did not listen. It's known as foresight based on evidence and experience. Check it out @abcnews
If I remember rightly, in January we were dealing with devastating bushfires & drought. World about to end due to climate change. Don’t hear anyone on climate change now. I certainly didn’t hear anyone banging on about #coronavirus 2 months ago. All experts in hindsight.

me and me dad are sharing the dining room table working from home today. He's an aerospace engineer on a conference call ordering fuselage prototypes and I'm drawing a duck

Atlassian, @canva, @NEXTDC and other Aussie tech companies will continue to pay our hourly workers even though many of our employees are now working from home. We'd like to encourage other companies to do the same.

We are thrilled to share that Bedrock has led a $50M Series D in The Athletic. When the content flywheel is turning and retention is this strong, subscription businesses tend to surprise everyone with how large they can become: medium.com/bedrock/bedrock-l…

Today on NPR, there was a story on genetic diversity in cows, and how the majority of milk cows in the US are descended from just two bulls. How could they miss the opportunity to describe this as a "moonoculture"?

For those who sometimes ask “how do I reliably determine what my heap footprint is, in order to (.e.g) trigger some cache eviction if I go too high?” Here you go: github.com/giltene/HeapUseWa… #HeapUseWatcher estimates live set on all variants of OpenJDK GCs, and on Zing.
The details in this post might not seem like such a big deal unless you’ve been through this process before. But it really is a big deal for founders. AFAIK no other company has ever done this before. I hope it starts a trend. atlassian.com/blog/technolog…
