Oh good harmon confirming I'm not being delusional about this guy. I like him a lot

@kfishbain I’m trying hard to stop using Twitter, so please post on Bluesky! I started a list for Bears Coverage and it is lacking in fun facts. bsky.app/profile/did:pl…

No one asked me. But, for anyone curious, same.

@dabearsblog I once did 9 straight at the Empire 25 in Times Square. I arrived at 9am and left just before 3.

On Wednesday in 1996, when showtimes would be released for Friday, I would check and see where my sneak would be most effective. “I can do 340-6-920 in Secaucus, but 330-530-815 in Wayne is tighter.”

@tiffchow Nice hat

this is a picture of me 🦐

@ADannehy @DMRussini I liked Robert’s point about how Poles chose team-building over maximizing draft capital. In the end, the impact of this approach is dwarfed by whether or not they get the first pick right and set up (probably) Caleb for success.

Every #Bears fan should watch this and listen to @DMRussini. Ryan Poles really hurt himself with his comments regarding trading Fields at the combine. youtube.com/watch?v=Aa2NmG…

@austinkleon It gets better, too.

Liked the first two episodes of this, especially David Fleming’s score

@andybudd As their manager, privately remind them your goal is to help them succeed. Ask what support they need from you to succeed. Also be clear with stakeholders that the result was not acceptable. We failed to deliver and we need to own that. Explain what is changing and why.

@andybudd 1. Have a retro and write down what went well and what didn’t. 2. PM should put padding on any estimate from an IC. 3. Next time, align on a clear goal, constraints, and a timeline for feedback before you start.

Leadership scenario. A PM has complained about one of your designers. The PM asked for a time estimate. The designer was initially evasive but when pushed said 5 days. Hitting the deadline was important as the sales team needed UI visuals for a big pitch.

@alexandrak Not yet! Dinner only, which means I have to find a babysitter. Gonna pick a night for it, though. Looks so good. 🤤

@capndesign Congratulations!! Did you go to Reckless Noodle yet?! 😭

Hello! I have some professional news. Yesterday was my last day at Etsy. That’s still a little weird to me, but I am _pumped_ to have a couple weeks to chill. Relatedly, I am accepting movie, donut, and restaurant recommendations (in Denver, preferably).

Eventually, I want to share more about my decision to move on, but for now I’ll say that I grew a lot as an engineer and person during my time at Etsy. There are so many fantastic people who made the days fun and helped me navigate a large engineering org for the first time.

After a short break, I’ll be joining Fastly at the end of the month as a staff engineer. I am positively CHUFFED to be given this opportunity. Also, I’ll get to work alongside a small, but powerful, contingent of Six Apart alumni. What a killer group of humans, amirite?

@mulegirl I am waiting for a city to get convinced by a cool startup that make golf carts that go 30 mph street legal.

@techwolf359 It is dumb, but thankfully enough people complained and you can turn it off. help.netflix.com/en/node/2102

Dear Netflix, I promise you the last thing I want you to do is start automatically playing a show while I’m reading the description.

@frankko Will dm you!

@capndesign I will take one if one is still available.

Hi friends. If you need an invite code for azul cielo, lemme know. I got a few.

@lizziekv DMed you!

@mayor414 I am disappointed that this wasn’t me. So close.

“It’s none of your business. What the hell do you care if someone smushed a pizza down the shaft.” I told him it doesn’t matter what business it is of anyones. It is a wild thing to do and one “that you or I wouldn’t be able to imagine doing.” Then he told it was him. Fin

Tonight I had dinner with my sister and our cousin who is doing a summer program and living in a dorm. In the course of hearing about how mischief and horseplay is policed, I remembered the following story about mischief and punishment in my dorm, which I feel I’ve never told.
