@ATTHelp Internet has been down since Wednesday for my neighborhood and calling in is no help. At first: “Field techs working” lie - no techs in the neighborhood. After 24 hours: “Must be a storm.” Lie - weather is clear. Now you say it will be several days?!

@GetSpectrum Y’all want to come out and install new service? AT&T cut your wire, so I’ll need a new run. Can you get me online today?

A few years ago, my neighbor burned most of their house down while grilling. A retired firefighter bought the rebuilt house, and he routinely burns his burgers when grilling.
“‘CSRF token mismatch,’ What does that mean?” When you submitted that form, it went to a server that wasn’t expecting your session. Now they think you’re trying to hack them instead of properly setting up their site for load balancing.

This is why meaningful errors in the context of the end user matter. What’s the person supposed to do? Seems like this would be better: “Whoops, something went wrong. Let’s try that again.”

I'm looking for a serious /tester/ for a paid part-time R&D project. No programming skills required but maybe a college level course or two, knowledge of HTML a plus. DM me, or @ me if you can't. USA/Canada based a plus.

Going through some old files and saw pics of myself from 2006 and 2008. I looked like I aged 20 years between the two.

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the idealized heroism of doing something great, something honorable, something that transforms people’s lives.

In The Great Resignation, I hope people can find work that is fulfilling without being an opportunity for exploitation and burnout. You are more than the job you do.
Developer productivity, y'all. It is a three TRILLION dollar opportunity, per the stripe report. Eng managers and directors, we have got to stop asking for "more headcount" and start treating this like the systems problem that it is. – at San Francisco, CA

When people often have to spend weeks just to get a local development environment up, there is a lot to improve. 🙁

If you’re a hiring manager or IT person setting up a new hire, share the password in a way that is tamper-evident. Force change upon login, and if you have to write it down, put it in an envelope.

I wonder how many apps exist as replacements of generic tools solely because they look fancier or are marketed as specialized.

If you write code, you're a developer. Application code, test code, infrastructure code, it doesn't matter. Saying someone is a "less than" developer because of the type of code they write is judgmental and almost discriminatory.

Confronting racist people I knew growing up, denial turned into: - “those people” - acknowledgement of evil in world - admitted disagreement with Republican talking points but “lesser of evils” compared to abortion - identification with dixiecrats

When asking them to take a stand: - refusal to speak out to peers - complaining about affirmative action - claim that black churches push political agendas more than white churches - thoughts and prayers THIS IS RACISM, PEOPLE!

I want to know why we see pro-life folks come out to protest abortion, but those signs stay home when we have grown black people dying in the street.
