I'm glad this part of my life's journey ended by working as a software engineer at @blockpartyapp_.
Working for and with @triketora has been awesome!
The company is looking for capable engineers ;-)
I haven't fully comprehended that this, at least for the time being, is my last week as a professional software developer, after... 15 years?
I guess I'm leaving tech! At least as a profession
I'll write a good bye post but the gist is: thanks to all the amazing humans I met ❤️

Juuuust in case you didn’t know this, #hyperfocus comes at a cost. If you (or your boss) gets super excited at the epic amount you got done in x amount of time, remind them/you this is not a sustainable practice 🤣
And when it wears off, expect to be fairly useless for a bit
Time to say bye bye to Pinboard.in

I love how the dude releasing unto the world a biased, racist and totally deranged AI bot is warning said world that we're not far from "potentially scary" AI and that we need regulation.

No. This is about cutting the Twilio bill. All this does is a) force millions of users who don’t change auth methods into having less secure accounts. B) allow your paying users to still use the least-secure option for 2FA. – at Seattle, WA
For security folks, is there and legit reason to charge for two-factor SMS?

Amdahl's law: the nightmare of a perf engineer!
"The overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is actually used"

The real billion dollar mistake is ignoring Postgres when building a billion dollar company.
Just discovered that a public health website I'm using right now darkens the page with a content div to lower its energy consumption when it's idle.
I'm not sure it's actually effective but it's a nice little gesture :-)

A woman at another big tech company (that I won’t name) told me a male leader responded to a question on diversity goals with “diversity is a luxury, right now we need to focus on people who can do the job”
A lot to unpack there, & an unsurprising view we knew many had all along.
“The rewrites I mentioned are not WA specific, more Meta which is rewriting a lot of C++ and Python stuff to Rust constantly”

I thought I was pissed about the @digitalocean layoff yesterday, but then I read the earnings call from this morning. Here's the highlights.
* Revenue grew 34% YOY last year🤔
* Approval to buy back 500 million stock
* Already bought back 600 million worth of stock last year
