The house budget committee’s choice to retaliate against two private, volunteer-led organizations by punishing the patrons of Missouri’s public libraries is abhorrent. 🧵

I don't think this is universally true, but it's shocking how often:
* An incredible product has an abysmal sales team
* An incredible sales team is selling an abysmal product
It's pretty rare to see both be good simultaneously.

What do The Giver, The Gettysburg Address, The Children's Bible and Maus have in common?
They've all been banned a part of a massive purge of books with visual depictions in Missouri since August. 🧵

Many executives fail to understand why tech companies are bloated. They are bloated because everything is held together with duck tape and "task force" teams. And it's due to gross lack of funding when it comes to removing complexity and technical debt.

One thing they don’t teach you in business school is that product pricing is often determined through live negotiations with Stephen King.
We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about $8?

Say cheese! 📸

This story is a nightmare, where a driver is mauled to death by loose dogs and Amazon's internal messaging is "OMG pupper alert😍 be careful don't want to end up as 🍗 for Doggo but also ⏱️👀"

#Python 3.8 added assignment expressions—aka the walrus operator—which assign the value of an expression to a variable and returns it.
This allows you to do things like assign a variable for use within a conditional when you check the condition.
