Still currently employed for those who are asking again
Keep getting messages about this so I should probably make it known that yes I still have a job at Twilio. Really bummed about a lot of the people who were let go though.

I’m hiring at @plaid! Looking for the most creative and inspiring VP-level leaders to run product marketing, and Brand. Please help connect me to the best leaders you’ve ever worked with in these two roles. Or failing that I’ll take a retweet for reach:) ❤️

Ryan is an incredibly talented JavaScript developer and design thinker. He will make your team better if you're lucky enough to hire him.
Unfortunately, I was laid off today. I'll be looking for a new senior/staff front end web dev job soon. I'll put together a proper tweet for it once I've had a chance to update my portfolio and such. It was a lot of fun working on TwilioQuest, I'll miss it and my teammates!

My mom has stage 4 terminal #OvarianCancer. She devoted her entire life to raising my sister and me. We never really had much money but we always had a roof, food on the table, and unconditional love. Could you help us do something fun for her before she leaves? Check thread👇
