My neighbours are too low income to afford a wifi connection, and too proud to use mine. So I renamed mine Free Council Wifi and told them I had read about it and what the password was. My neighbour is now halfway through an online college qualification and I'm so proud of her.

if you loved working with them and you want them to think well of you, how do you want them to remember you? at honeycomb we call it "graduation" when someone leaves, and we throw them a party. we tell stories of their triumphs. 🥳🎉

when someone turns in their notice, you should not respond with: 🍄 silence 🍄 stony stares 🍄 retaliation 🍄 pressure 🍄 guilt tripping 🍄 ignoring them 🍄 failing to meet their eyes 🍄 saying "we're better off without them anyway" TO ANYONE -- my subtweet of the day

But, he assured me, he would really love it if I would come be an engineering manager reporting to whoever they ended up hiring into this director role. He even offered to make an exception for me and let me start as a manager, without "proving myself" as an engineer first.

Thread. A few years ago, I too applied for a director role and didn't get it. I was seriously bummed out by A LOT of the roles i was offered after Facebook. I wanted to step up to bigger, harder challenges. But folks wanted to hire me into repeat roles that i had already done.

A few years back I applied for a director role and didn't get it. I ended up working for the company as an IC anyway because I really liked them. But I was bummed for sure. In hindsight, not getting that role turned out to be a great thing for me in the long run.

Engineers who are interested in product marketing have often passed a point in their career where "how to build" stops being challenging, and they want a greater role in "what to build" and in educating the market of their peers. twitter.com/joe3barrera/st…

Mr. President, the American people will hear my story very soon. And they can judge for themselves who is honorable and who is not.
