🌔 A Poestmortem 📟

We're looking for senior/principle level folks with significant Android and/or mobile connectivity experience --OR-- more junior generalist types who are ready to learn more about those areas. If you're smart and you want to make watches smart, too, reach out via DM.

Hi, Twitter. I know we haven't talked in 2+ years, but FYI my team at @WearOSByGoogle is hiring. We manage Wear's flavor of @Android, bringup of new chipsets/sensors/hardware, and lots of misc other stuff to develop the core Wear OS platform.

@isaac_abraham And don't forget mixed capitalization "Big data"

Rather than "useless products" I suppose. And thank goodness they used capital letters for Big Data - a completely different beast to just big data.

@GoCaltrain 4 years!

This burndown chart is more of a burnover chart... At least it's not burnup, or worse, burnout.

@lindydonna @LaylaSells_cshs @ThatVBGuy @TheTuvix @dcampbell Good times! That was the first time I met a bunch of you. I remember being slightly embarrassed to be in the picture since I'd just joined the team like the week before.

@LaylaSells_cshs @ThatVBGuy @TheTuvix @dcampbell That's awesome! CC @LincolnAtkinson

@lindydonna @ThatVBGuy @TheTuvix @dcampbell look what I found!

"Chernobyl" episode 6 today, courtesy of my dog's digestive tract

Let me tell you, a "four-bagger" is a lot more fun in the baseball context than the dog-doo context

A couple of nice 💯 milestones this week -- 💯 consecutive bike commutes (both ways for the last 50 work days) 💯+ wpm on @typeracer for the first time

Bringing back some awesome #PrideMonth art from @GenuineHumanArt

Hotmail is erroring out every time I try to add a new inbox rule. Was working fine 10 minutes ago. Just checked and I have 512 rules already defined 😳 Maybe hitting a hard limit? Rule count is stored in a 9-bit int?

Now time for "recovery"

Podcasts were 👌 Run was really tough but still fun. Strava pic is lying -- course was in fact > 13.1mi, and my time was actually 3h0m45s strava.app.link/JN04rupscX

Podcast playlist for half marathon this morning

@jasonmalinowski Ah, the "reverse Prince"

How much would a celebrity have to pay the Unicode Consortium to officially make an emoji of them?

Any road bikers out there? 🚴🚴‍♀️ Found a great price on a used carbon fiber Trek 5500. Model year '99/'00. Is 20-year-old carbon fiber a bad idea or is it probably fine assuming no crashes?

Had a phone screen with Dropbox some years back. Brain was not cooperating at all that day. Was bombing and knew it, but hoped I could salvage things if I asked insightful Qs at the end. All I could stammer out was "So... is Dropbox... good?" I was not invited for an onsite.

I was already really enjoying the show, but reading this commentary makes it even better.

I think this is bad

@LyalinDotCom What an awful feeling. Sending you sympathy vibes from CA. Remember the purrs and cozy times 🐈😥

Today was a really hard day, had to say goodbye to Masanya, one of my best friends. 12 years is too short, fucking cancer. Will miss you baby 🥺
