#Linus Torvalds this week 👏 👏

"I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that 'well regulated militia' means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the 'wrong' clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with."

My attention has been drawn to this packaging design from HP, which presumably someone approved.

Someday I'm going to give a tech conference talk that's like "the best leadership books I've ever read" but instead of military memoirs and 'seeing like a state' for the twelve millionth time it's all going to be series like the babysitter's club, the saddle club, the princess diaries (although I was more of a Mediator girl), obviously Tamora Pierce

Made it to Grand Masters Nationals! What a funny sport I play, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Jesus and Grimace are cousins!” was not a sentence I expected to write today, but here we are. #etymology

It is so damned seductive to believe that you can automate the risk away.

I rarely do any frontend development that involves styling, but seeing the move to Tailwind and now Tailwind CSS confuses me - isn’t this just going full circle back to, well, CSS?

Pulling my hair out all day over the question "how has this ever worked?" the answer many hours later: "by accident" and "sometimes"

Did I just get nerd-sniped into trying out SketchyBar because Bartender’s now burnt? Yes, yes I did.

tl;dr, the developer of Bartender quietly sold the app to parties unknown about 2 months ago. v5.0.52 should, theoretically, still be fine, but consider turning off auto-updates.

Tired: This meeting could have been an email.

Wired: This startup could have been a spreadsheet.

"maybe we need this in the future" is a bad idea for writing good code. If we need that flexibility in the future, other things will have changed as well. Better do it then, not complicating matters now.

Turning down needlessly flexible code like a boss.

My second one-shot Tradle! (The first one was Fiji. 😆)

"Paris has closed more than 100 streets to motor vehicles, tripled parking fees for SUVs, removed roughly 50,000 parking spots, and constructed more than 1,300 kilometers of bike lanes since Mayor Anne Hidalgo took office in 2014. Those changes have contributed to a 40% decline in air pollution..."
