7/ Built is transforming the way the physical world is constructed. It's one of the fastest-growing companies in our portfolio, but so much still to do.
Thrilled to partner with Lee Fixel @jackiereses @gokulr @JeffreyReitman @walkerforehand and others on the next chapter!
It's been almost 2 years since I tweeted. I'm breaking my silence _for you_ to try to hire you. #PHP #laravel #VueJS #Jobs corecommerce.com/jobs/senior…

Canadians are so friendly that in the third day of this music festival they still haven't ruined the portapotties.

Just watched a dude throw a piece of bison shit damn near 200 feet. #america #westyellowstone #montana

Thinking about doing a software talk at the cities and towns on our RV journey: "What I learned about software from living in a motorhome". It would mostly be an extended poop joke filled with tips on legacy code. There has to be a market for that, right?

I have a Google Fit goal of "being active" for an hour per day, but the fitter/faster I get the harder it is to hit the goal. 🤨

Every now and then I reread this astonishing and terrifying description of the end of the dinosaurs, via @PeterBrannen1's 'The Ends of the World':
Sometimes, when you live a fairly public life on social media, you challenge and encourage people - even though you have NO IDEA that you're doing it. (S/O @matthewtrask, and he has no idea why.)
"Likewise, a Story is the illusion of what your smartphone saw. Or better, of what the hybrid you-and-your-smartphone saw—as if there was a you without a smartphone, anymore." xitter.cf/kottke/status/99247167…
The inimitable Ian Bogost with some thinking on how stories are overtaking social media and how they are perhaps the first true smartphone media format. kottke.org/18/05/stories-are…
Difficult thing about continual improvement: the better you are at something, the harder the incremental progress is to see (because it's smaller).

Another example about running: 27 years ago, Carl Lewis ran a 9.86s 100m. Since then, the greatest efforts of the entire world - including the fastest human ever to live - have not improved 3% on that mark. Because they're already *so good*.

I just searched my Gmail for the name of someone I had never contacted before. It returned a thread that had an image that was a screenshot of their name & email address. #sorcery

So most of the dentists in Nashville that we have called don't accept @OscarHealth anymore because they aren't paying the bills. I pay $1500+ per month for this "service".

Just saw a senior dev brag to a junior that he hasn't written a resume in 5 or more years. Same dev sent a resume to me 1 year ago to apply for a job.
Why try to be a badass here? How does that help the junior?

The software you're working on actually has commercial value, and you can be confident you'll have a job tomorrow? xitter.cf/cmgmyr/status/98204020…
Usually working with legacy code isn’t what developers typically want to do, but what are some positives about working with it?
For me:
1. Learn something new - even if it’s what “not to do”
2. Add tests to complex areas of the code
3. Refactoring practice (and more testing)
