@jessitron's pinned tweet, and the heart of our Still Burning episode:
"I don't want to build software so much as build understanding and express it in software."
The new craft: designing a system that produces working code — and being able to say why you know it works.

If this doesn’t get you hyped for the Stanley Cup Final, we don’t know what will…

Will have an opening on my team shortly for a Product manager 2 role. We are a dev first, fast moving, technical (coding) team building great things like terminal, WSL, powertoys, sudo, edit, windows advanced settings and much much more. Ping me if you think you’ll be a good fit.

You wanna fix the budget? Start with the biggest freeloaders of all—churches. Tax ‘em so hard even the collection plate gets audited. If your pastor’s rockin’ Gucci while preaching humility, it’s time Uncle Sam gets a cut.
I’ll gladly vote to tax religion. All of ‘em. Y’all out here tithing like it’s 1400 B.C. while preaching against education—how do you think we ended up with a country full of folks who think science is witchcraft and the earth is 6,000 years old?
But sure, let’s cut education instead of asking the megachurch down the street to pay a dime. Real galaxy brain stuff.

H-1B DATA MEGA-THREAD 🧵
I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data.
I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I'm now *extremely* skeptical of how this program works.
Here's what I found 👇

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

People *still* don't appreciate how amazing the VSCode edit-over-ssh functionality is

Here's your annual reminder that because of Vail and Alterra's duopoly, it's cheaper to plan a week-long ski trip in Switzerland than Colorado.

Let the countdown begin! 🚀🌎
In less than 24 hours Earth will receive back a sample from an asteroid for the very first time ever and I am so excited to be here to witness this historic event in Colorado with @LMSpace 🤩🙌
Let’s gooo #OSIRISREx ☄️ – at Denver, CO
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not the first time a sample from an asteroid has been returned to Earth. This feat was accomplished by the Japanese space agency in the Hyabusa missions in 2010 and 2020.

13 years ago we started the "Strada" project. Two years later we launched TypeScript. In the decade since the @typescript team has built one of the most used languages in the world.🎉
Kudos to @kbdocumentaries for capturing the origins of TypeScript.🙌

If you live in US and want to buy a helmet at @championhelmets, think twice, I bought a helmet July this year, need to exchange, paid 100 USD to send it back, no return label provided, and after more than a month received it back, as they failed to deliver. 🤡

The most important practice for continuous integration to work properly is frequent check-ins to a shared version of the truth of your system, on trunk or mainline. You should be committing your code at least once per day, and ideally a lot more often than that.
