Two months ago, I ordered this statue as advertised on Facebook. This arrived (from China) today. NAILED IT

@endingwithali We are hiring in Australia!

Please hire me

Last time I posted, I was living in the States. Been a while then! Haha

Three days left on the team and still cutting code between KT sessions. So much I want to close out before I finish up

Trying out my new @bee__computer and need to remember to turn it off when watching TV. We watched the latest few episodes of White Lotus and now my summary is full of random tasks.

In Brisbane, unpacking our old items that have been in storage since before we moved to the US. Any plastic bag we stashed has long turned to dust.

I was listening to a recording of a work presentation the other day and one of the questions was from an Australian. I was checking the org chart to see what other Aussies were in the new team, before realizing it was just my own question 🤦🏼‍♂️

Hamish just pointed his wand and yelled "CRUCIO" at George who started writhing on the floor. I've taken his wand. I didn't think I'd have to explicitly ban Unforgivable Curses in our house but here we are.

I started the game ASTRO BOT, via @TrueTrophy truetrophies.com/game/Astro-Bot…

@brooke_jamieson Just sent you a DM on Slack. If it's what I'm currently using, great work!

PSA if you work at Amazon: I made an absolute beast mode app that writes your Forte feedback with AI dm me in slack for the link ~

@yangwong No idea. Haven't lived in Brisbane for 8 years remember 😂

@dww84 Oh man those were the days... Is btub still alive?

I just got a memory of an early #FakePeterBlackQUT tweet from the early Twitter days. I had completrly forgotten about that nonsense. I think I did eventually meet him in person

Is my new hoodie too obnoxious to wear in public? The things we do for our children

@film_girl I've been doing Spanish for 3.5 years. Reading comprehension is alright but not great at understanding speech because I always do my lessons while watching TV. A friend recommended watching more TV in Spanish with subtitles on, but not sure my wife would appreciate it 😂

Ok #lazyweb - I’ve been doing Duolingo for the first time in like 11 years and it is sort of spammy and I don’t know how much I’m learning but they are about to make me subscribe to Super. But are there any better alternatives? My fear is I’m not learning that much.

Judging by the massive lines of Teslas and Rivians outside every store and apartment parking lot, a region full of EVs doesn't cope so well with a multi-day power outage.

@Anni22_10 @amazon Congrats! What will you be doing?

I want to cry. All the hard work is finally paying off.

It just took me 1.5 hours to get to work. Only gonna get worse come January once @Amazon 5 days starts. At least with 3 days, people can spread out some of the load - the Monday run yesterday was only 0.5 hour!

@__spd_ Hey man. I hope things go okay at work this week.

but then i was reminded that someone deleted a whole stack in prod and someone brought down a marketplace or an AWS service and they still kept their jobs

being forced to move back to India without a job as part of my seppuku did flash in front of my eyes in the first ten minutes when this was reported i am not going to lie

@__spd_ Oh no. COE time?

officially in the list of engineers to cause a sev 1 due to a bad configuration deployment, help me god

Thinking about movies from high school that were set in the 80s. If they made the Wedding Singer today it'd be set in 2011 🫠

@shanselman I wish they brought it across the border to Seattle. I miss Nando's from Australia. We always have it when making it to Vancouver and Chicago.

It’s on now! #Nandos (smuggled from South Africa! 🇿🇦 😊)
