@MalwareTechBlog The Eurosplaining to you in that thread is impressive.

@blowdart @jcase @kcappleguy Pics please. :) I was also considering that some of my siblings were as cute as the rest but have, shall we say, more sockets than limbs. I'm dubious that the sign-holders are enthusiastic about that possibility.

@jcase @kcappleguy @blowdart As a person with multiple adoptive siblings, 100% agree. At best that sign is a fantasy for them (we like the idea of a cute infant). Adopting well takes work both before and after the adoption.

@jsnover Wow! Best of luck in whatever you're doing next. Our paths don't often cross these days, but beginning when I was a new PM it's always been great when they did.

After 22+ awesome years at Microsoft (18+ of which were awesome in a good way 😂 ), it is time for me to try something new. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with such incredible people and to work on things that matter. My last day will be Friday, July 1st.

Happy Pride! Spending it cleaning up after our daughter's birthday party... and considering how to usefully channel anger about what we intend to explain tomorrow: she has fewer rights now than she did Thursday. Living in Washington is a panacea, not a solution.

@scovetta @JanNWolfe PMs should remember that "Black Mirror" was mostly dystopian, not a goal. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Right_…

@JanNWolfe Please, time travelers from the future, come back and stop this.

@ThreddyRex That's a very good read. Thank you. I'm sure that took you some time.

@CrispinCowan0 @hacks4pancakes I'm good for about 48 hours before I get to that point. During my last trip I conceived a business that would be a boon to conference goers: a cafe with no music, no flashing lights, lots of plants, wood, white, no raucous conversation. I'd call it "Quiet" and stick it in MGM.

@hacks4pancakes True! You arrive and everything is fun AF. 3 days later, and one has had *enough* and wanna get away from the infinite bells and blinkenlights.

nobody understands this until they do.

I'm not going to complain about the cool summer we're having, but I'm loving our first gorgeous summer day.

@NerdPyle Where is Mony Mony??

@ericlaw Tbh that sounds like a thing you could teach but kind of sucky for the dog. Hopefully it also gets to go run outside for sniffing and socialization.

New friends from the park say their dog runs on their treadmill. Is this a real thing or am I getting punked?

@skjpope @ElJefeDSecurIT Hiding rbf is a welcome bonus however. :)

@JenMsft @ThreddyRex Same. Some TPMs have a weirder scope than others.

@ThreddyRex Technically that's what I am now, but I've always been a bit special so dunno if I align to other ppl in this position 😅

@ThreddyRex Maybe for more junior roles. Senior TPM long-term thinking may look short term but IMO it is not. A Thing needs to get done. Executing it may take only 6 months but it's part of a long term strategy. Prioritization is deciding which of the long-term needs come first.

@nocontextmemes Ouch.

This is an insane read.

@mattblaze Just save that first sentence. You'll be needing it again with him.

Sigh. This is completely wrong. There are technologies for granularly tracking customers inside stores, but they rely on the store installing a network of special sensors that pickup Bluetooth and other signals from phones. It doesn’t work outside places where it’s installed.

@mrbillyanders @JoshLuedeman I would also ask my friend what their plans were, if this is a long-term commitment or a short one. And if short what's their plan to pivot back.

@mrbillyanders @JoshLuedeman I would ensure my friend knew what they were paying for the truck. Because they will: in time, or self-respect, or missed opportunities. And hopefully the truck has more in it than money (something to learn/experience). They may be fine with the price. But they should know it.
