"Only my own principles can tip the balance from one to the other."
For 10 years of working at the Post all anyone would ask me is "Does Bezos interfere?" As he says, up to now he had a great track record. Gone in an instant. Just wild. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
This whole statement is wild. Instead of highlighting this change as something with editorial backing. Bezos leans into "This was my decision and I am the best one to make it." He really makes it sound like his voice now. #WaPo
Guy who thought CloudProtect was a better name for the company is just waiting for things to die down just enough to say I told you so.
I figured it out. The super power of #AWS #StepFunctions is they are the cheapest way to wait for something.
And StepFunctions trounce almost anyone on startup times with the possible exception of #AWSLambda under ideal conditions.
Thinking of the millions of dollars, thousands of man hours spent by engineers, designers, and product people at Google to solve this problem and the effective solution was a single law that makes it trivial in almost any email client.
I am not sure why, but the inactive account that had the @robpc handle is no longer on here so I changed it finally. No idea idea why it didn't occur to me to use my domain name as my handle initially.
Not my best photography work but happy that I pulled something together despite my poor planning. #Eclipse2024 #TXEclipse24
Assembly definitely taught me a lot about how computers work but if you just want to understand the concepts I would recommend playing #TIS100 by @zachtronics. It is a wildly close approximation and it is much easier to visualize how assembly works with its puzzles.

This is depressing. At this point Lightroom is the only reason I am not using Linux.
I try to squash and rearrange my commits in a PR into logical groupings which has the same effect without the pain points of stacking. But both require a culture of devs looking at PRs for any amount of time, which is the ultimate issue IMO.
I think it does a lot to emphasize that the whole team succeeds but working together and supporting each others work. If your review is your most important task then you give yourself permission to focus on it.
This reminds me of the time I asked my editor friend for help on the right way to word a confusing sentence. Her answer was to write a new sentence that was less confusing.
I am leaving The Washington Post after nine years. It's hard go put into words what an incredible journey it's been. So thankful for opportunities I had there, the things I learned, and most importantly the thoughtful and caring people I met.
