Talking w/ manager about the way I want to evolve my role, and mentioned an old friend whose role let him be a resource to apply to any account as needed. He asked who, and I said it was @vcdx001, and my manager said it was John that caused him to apply to VMware. Small world!
My daughter's @GreenlightCard had fraud two months ago through @Target, & GL's dispute dept denied our claim, is refusing to refund her money claiming identity validated by Target, despite never having been to the location involved. Will avoid GL in future, unless they fix this.

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.
I gasped so loud when this new goblet I got from @artbyjacstudio today fit the sphere I’ve had from her for a couple years _perfectly_. OMG.
From @benr at #monitorama: ""The bane of observability is we LEARN things... and then you want to fix it but thats not on the roadmap."

‼️ Extremely Urgent ‼️
We were only able to pay $100 & after we did the owner came and gave us an eviction notice 😰
He said he will tear it up if we can come up with with $750 by Wednesday.
We’re both fucking terrified & sick with panic, idk what to do 😭

ALT Photo of an eviction notice with all personal information redacted. The reason is that the amount owed is $1510.
“Please write your congressional representative…”. Hey, thats @SummerForPA now! Cool.
Summer, please do what you can to help H1B Visa holders impacted by these massive layoffs get extra time to land on their feet! linkedin.com/posts/jeffhunt_…

People on here talking about how “voting” won’t solve anything and yet that’s exactly how the GOP accomplished this. Their voters show up every time, en masse, regardless of whether they are in love with the candidate or not, because they’re laser focused on the endgame. Today.
@neilhimself if you see me fidgeting with my phone, I’ll just be adjusting my hearing aids to hear you better.

If you are still wearing a mask when you go out, please retweet this status. I would just like to see how much common sense is still out there.

Donated! I’m not even employed right now (by my own choice), but just felt it was right.

If Dave Chappelle had so blatantly attacked another minority group, such as Asians, Muslims, or Jews, would Netflix have so readily stood by his artistic freedom? It’s hard not to feel like trans people are considered fair game in today’s America. This is why we must speak out.
