Just saw another round of “silos are good, actually” going around. They aren’t. Yes, people should be empowered to do their jobs without needing a posse of people and a thousand consensus meetings to do it. But that’s not why silos are a problem in technology.

I don't actually think line managers should ever "stop teching" -- too much of their credibility and capacity for excellence is bound up in subject mastery.
There's a big difference between "stop teching" and "your primary deliverables are no longer technical ones". HUGE.
Proud to offer this service to help you find more time in the US if you’re laid off on a work visa:

Love seeing @Cloudflare continue to demonstrate security best practices and hate to see @okta getting called out again. I love the promise of @okta and @auth0 but at a minimum expect their communication about these incidents to be proactive
Okta compromised… again. Here’s how @Cloudflare, even though we were (again) targeted, was able to mitigate the attack. And some best security practice suggestions for @okta and their customers. blog.cloudflare.com/how-clou…
Props to @notarize for putting together a simple notary process at the same price point as in person
Today I'm excited to share that @chooseboundless has acquired Bridge! I'm so grateful to Romish Badani and the many incredible partners, employees, and investors that have helped us make our way. Learn more about why we're teaming up and what's next here: buff.ly/3R77NgT

one of the easiest policy wins i can imagine for the US is to reform high-skill immigration.
the fact that many of the most talented people in the world want to be here is a hard-won gift; embracing them is the key to keeping it that way.
hard to get this back if we lose it.

Yesterday some users were not able to complete the H-1B registration process. USCIS has fixed this technical issue & will now accept registrations until 5:00 pm ET Monday, March 20, 2023.
Please note any paid & completed registrations were not affected by this technical issue.

I'm one of the few members of Congress who has been on an H-1B visa back when processing times to transition to a green card weren’t nearly as bad—and it still took 17 years to become a citizen.
We must pass the Eagle Act for all those who have waited too long for a green card.

Looking to sponsor an H-1B transfer for an individual who was recently laid off? Bridge and ImmiPartner are pledging $250,000 in free H-1B legal services to companies with up to 250 employees to support laid-off tech workers.

11. The US is no longer the top choice of foreign talent when asked where they would move for work.
We cannot rest on our laurels and need to start improving our immigration system.

I'm receiving word you can order free covid tests from the USPS again — and this time you get eight.
This is worth doing if not just to experience the fastest, cleanest web form in the history of governmental internet. special.usps.com/testkits
