It's annoying how good this is. I wish I'd written it.
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with everything I want to do (or need to do) and the solution has always been the same: do literally anything.

OMG this is brilliant. This woman put her tech skills to use to troll VA Gov. Glenn Youngkin over a tipline he put up to report CRT. Her talk will give you life.

the best kind of debugging involves a failure that feels impossible at the outset but by the end you understand the issue so well you wonder how the system worked at all

The world is unfair to night owls.
School: they're as bright as larks, yet get poorer grades—except in afternoon & evening classes.
Work: if they start later but deliver identical hours & results, they're still penalized.
We should let people engage when they're most alert.

I've been a Remote CTO for several years.
Many people have asked me what tools I use to manager my Remote Teams.
I rely on these 7 tools to make my team's work as async as possible.

If your printer malfunctions:
1) Remain calm. Hold your ground or back away slowly.
2) Continue facing the printer, and do all you can to appear larger. Stand upright, raise your arms, open your jacket.
3) Never bend over or crouch down, avoid looking like a prey animal.

Happy Canada Day everyone!
Enjoy this thread of our prime ministers as animated characters!

First son of a Prime Minister to serve as Prime Minister.
Only federal leader to take his party from third-party status to a majority government.

Once you get used to a keyboard-driven window manager, it'll be the first thing you install on a fresh machine.
It's so nice to be able to hit a few keys and center, maximize, resize to half or a quarter of the screen, move something to a different display, etc.
