I volunteer with Queer Community Allies, a 501(c)3 in #UtahCounty that serves the LGBTQ+ teenagers in the area. We provide resources, supplies, and support for these at-risk kids. We’re running our yearly donation drive, and we’d love your support: queercommunityallies.org/don…

On this, the blackest of Fridays, allow me to deepen the void in your soul by reminding you: Today is March 1000th, 2020.

While we’re all here: my team at Apple is hiring. If diving head first into the Swift type system and language design amongst a talented and inclusive group of folks sounds fun, please apply! jobs.apple.com/en-us/details…

Just got home from #DragonsteelCon and I’m wiped out in the very best way. Pics and stuff to come later once I peel myself off the floor.

Twitter employees listen to me: imagine how fucking funny it would be if none of you clicked "yes."

The cruel reality is this: To the boss, tech workers are just as disposable as any worker. That's why all workers need a union.
Tech Layoff Meta - 11k (13%) Twitter - 3.7k (50%) Intel - 20% Snap - 20% Netflix - 450 Robinhood - 30% Stripe, Lyft - 13% Salesforce - 2k Amazon - 10k 120k+ layoffs. 2000-01 dot com layoffs were ~107k. Q4 layoffs have just begun. A brutally cold tech winter is coming.

Let's speak it plainly: We are watching a wealthy man haphazardly strip-mine an app built and popularized by people of color and activists and relied on in the Global South as the last public social app that can still deliver news and information in 2G. garbageday.email/p/one-giant…

Phase 1: Buy Twitter. Phase 2: Yell about activists wanting to destroy freedom. (‘Freedom’ = ‘your profit plan’) Phase 3: Fire your entire Human Rights team. Phase 4: The actual United Nations now issues you with a human rights warning. ohchr.org/en/press-releases/…

I mean you really have to admire the speed at which he has gone from “all legal speech” to “here are some speech regulations I made up”

No. This is false. I helped to create two different billion-user projects at Apple: WebKit and iPhone. I was on these teams from the earliest stages and I never once came close to sleeping at the office. It’s not an essential part of doing great work.
This is how great new things are built, more often than anyone has been willing to say during the last decade's cultural revolution in Silicon Valley.

We're still looking for a SwiftUI Frameworks Engineer for watchOS. This role is working on SwiftUI itself: proposing (and helping others refine proposals for) API, implementing API, supporting adoption of API, working on performance, etc. jobs.apple.com/en-us/details…
