Whenever interview candidates asked me what my favorite thing about Twitter is, I would always answer it's the people who make it a joy to work at the company. 1/3 – at San Francisco, CA

Teams change, projects change, direction change, but I always loved the people I encounter and work with. From stressful on-call emergencies, to laughing at how we froze a laptop with poorly coded bash. Our culture felt unique as a result, but more importantly, it felt human. 2/3 – at San Francisco, CA

I'm off the rollercoaster for real this time. It has been an honor to work with the people I did for the past 7+ years. #lovewhereyouworked 🫡 3/3 – at San Francisco, CA

I love this thing. I'm going to hide this at another desk in the office for someone else to find

One advantage of using a US Army themed notebook for grocery lists is having "eggs" as the Secretary of Defense

For fun, I tried my hand at creating a Live2D + FaceRig model. I was amazed how easy it all was with the software doing all the heavy lifting

I feel like I just drew the model. Meshes, the atlas, [etc were all automatic. Reminded me of my college days, playing around with OpenCV and matrices just to get edge detection working. It's all magic now ✨

I probably tripped my apartment unit's circuit breaker, and have to wait until tomorrow for a maintenance crew to flip it for me (there's a separate breaker room, and no one currently here has the key?) 😩

I may not have electricity in my apartment, but I do have a 50ft extension cord.

Last night I repotted my very large aloe vera, since it was getting large for its pot, and was prone to falling over in high winds.

Each time I repot it, it's a battle between how much larger the aloe has grown, vs how much more muscle I've gained to be able to move it 😅

Upgrading my office chair with rollerblade wheels was an excellent idea. Gliding from my desk to the kitchen to grab a snack is effortlessly fun
