I wish that Twitter would let you pin tweets that weren't your own. I'd definitely have this one pinned xitter.cf/sarahmei/status/832662…

Most people see management as an authority role, but it's not. It's a service role.

It feels like I see someone asking “how do I let pull requests from forks access my GitHub Actions secrets?” every other day. It turns out that it's not too hard to have both security _and_ a great developer experience. michaelheap.com/access-secre…

Accessing secrets from forks safely with GitHub Actions

Trigger workflow runs once a team member has reviewed the PR manually.

I wrote a thing about T shaped people, and spider-shaped #devrel michaelheap.com/spider-shape…

Spider-shaped DevRel

I’ve found that most companies expect us to be spider-shaped. Slightly less wide than a lot of professions, and slightly deeper than most others

Fun fact: the reason that \ acts like a line continuation in Bash is not because Bash added special support for line continuations, but rather because the \ is literally escaping the following newline character

Michael's slide has "Exist in 100 years" written at the top. Below it are four statements: "Increase donations by 30%", "Run one visiting exhibition per season (4 times a year)", "10% of our memberships help by ages 18-25", and "Reduce exhibit shipping costs by 5%".

The best managers don't look like they're doing much of anything because they've put in motion a system steers itself towards its desired outcomes without requiring their constant intervention. This is difficult to value in a context where individual performance must be measured.

I just heard Quiet Quitting referred to as “Acting Your Wage” and I can’t work out if I love it, or if I hate the implication that pay can compensate for feeling valued

The single biggest gift that past-me gave to current-me is that I can tag a release on GitHub, and no matter where the project is released to, it _just works_ It means people can use new functionality as soon as it's ready, rather than batching up and releasing monthly

It makes even more of a difference for OSS projects that I touch every couple of months If it was work related I’d do it day in, day out and never forget. Some of these projects get 1 release a year, and not having to rediscover the release process every time is priceless
