It's finally here! I think this is *the* book for anyone who wants to learn more about designing, implementing, and measuring an effective DevRel strategy. Of course, I had a lot of fun illustrating the cover and chapters 🤓 reverentgeek.com/developer-re...

Another podcast episode is out! @tedneward.bsky.social @woodruff.dev and I banter about the Conference Session pattern! Let me know what you think!

Developer Relations Activity Patterns@devrelpatterns.com · 2mo ago

Everyone pictures a developer advocate on stage. We finally did an episode about why that image exists — and whether it should. Conference Sessions, hecklers, speaker lounges, and "that guy" in the front row. Episode 6 is out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayQo...

Members of the WhatsApp group strategized how to best build cases to paint student protesters as “supporters of Hamas.”

The Columbia Network Pushing Behind the Scenes to Deport and Arrest Student Protesters

For some members of the “Columbia Alumni for Israel” WhatsApp group, speaking out for Palestine and criticizing Israel are tantamount to supporting Hamas.

Even if you put the major ethical considerations to the side, X is full of bots and scammers - so engagement is pretty much nil. Also, your follower stats is probably false because a lot of people (like me) have left but kept their accounts locked so they cant be impersonated. Get of X. It's time.

Get. Off. Twitter. Follows mean nothing. Likes mean nothing. Engagement means everything. Twitter has no engagement, just fake numbers/bots. Get. Off. Twitter. You don’t need to cross-post. You don’t need to “just check it now and then”. You’re not “losing years of xxxx” GET. OFF. TWITTER.

This was an interesting conversation—check it out, tell me what you think.

all manner of weird bullshit happened between 2015-2020 but jan 6 2021 should be an clear cutoff point after which a someone’s inability to take a strong and unambiguous stance against trumpism matters

in general — the simple inability to say “orange man bad” without an endless stream of caveats is, in 2025, a very good litmus test

Yeah, women let men lead for a while, and look where it got them. Women ain’t stupid.

Welp, power’s out at the house again. Nifty rainstorm, but not a fan of the downed power lines.

BREAKING: Trump is losing support: Less than one month into the chaotic return of Trump, and these Trump-voting farmers have already had enough. If the election were held today, they would not vote for him. Make sure everyone sees this!

In the wake of this week’s deadly aircraft collision near Washington, President Trump happily jumped to conclusions and pulled the U.S. apart rather than together, Peter Baker writes. "He has long demonstrated that he is more comfortable as the blamer in chief than consoler in chief."

From Anguish to Aggression: Trump Goes on Offense After Midair Collision

President Trump at moments of national tragedy has always been more comfortable finding fault than providing comfort or expressing empathy.

If only there were a shorter English word for "makes misleading claims".

Everything is so damn stupid.

Tomorrow’s sportsball wishes: - Commanders squeak one past the Eagles (it’s been far too long since Washington had success like this) - Bills blow the Chiefs apart (I dislike dynasties and the Chiefs are one) Chances of me getting my wishes: Practically zero

Republicans are mulling deep cuts in safety net spending, partly to offset big tax cuts aimed mostly at the wealthy. But some programs they propose to cut reach not just the poorest Americans but also struggling working class voters, many of whom helped elect Donald Trump in November.

Why resist? In two years, left unchecked, Trump’s policies are going to absolutely wreck his alliance of tech bros, MAGAts, Evangelicals, and far-right sympathizers, so… sure, let him go. The county will be trashed, but hey, this is what the men of the US wanted, instead of a competent woman. Win!

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

This is the point. Without safety-nets, who will actually take (useful, constructive) risks? The people telling you to manage without a safety-net ALL have their own personal safety-nets. They are all, without exception, already rich. They need nothing from you except what they can take.

Hotblack@invalid-handle.com · 2y ago

It also just feels entirely backwards to me. To be bold and take risks you need safety-nets and slack. Not cuts. Everyone needs to feel safe in taking those risks which may or may not pay off. You need to be comfortable with failure. And there are parts of the state that is impossible
