If we've collectively decided to double down on using Slack as an industry, then tbh I want a project management tool directly built into it.

People being mean/blunt on the Internet can be a superpower when you have a side project. Everyone in your life sugarcoats feedback whether they know it or not. But Internet people? They hold nothing back and it can be invaluable.

My programming hot take that I don't actually believe, but I'm going to state publicly anyway, is that you do not need a bug tracker. People will just tell you when important stuff is broken.

People skills > agent skills.

Has anything had more of an unnecessary chokehold on software teams than the 2 week sprint? Even when all other aspects of Agile have been jettisoned, the 2 week sprint remains.

Tea people: I want to love tea. But trying to drink a cup of ginger tea right now and it tastes like someone blended potpourri into water. What am I missing

“Melania” is truly the worst experience I’ve had in a theater” -Abraham Lincoln

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

To the the tune of “If You’re Happy & You know it”: If they’re inciting you to violence, they’re a Fed! If they’re inciting you to violence, they’re a Fed! If they’re inciting you to violence, your best response is silence; If they’re inciting you to violence, they’re a Fed!
