@jakekiker I know that's not how NDAs work, but also, a FrieNDA isn't a real thing, so

@fmdfrank That’s not really how this works

How I explain the FrieNDA (friendly non-disclosure)... If you share/steal what I'm telling you, I'm not gonna sue you, but I won't be your friend anymore.

this was a lot of fun! first time meeting @BillSKenney from @FocusLabLLC but it felt like we'd known each other for years - can't wait to share the chat

@mike_skaug @bradneuberg @cuttlesoft Thanks a lot @mike_skaug! @bradneuberg if you wanna learn more about us (if you’re at that point) visit cuttlesoft.com/contact/ Or if you prefer more casual for now send me a DM

@bradneuberg Consider @cuttlesoft

I'm looking for individuals or firms that are excellent JavaScript programmers, with knowledge of things like React, etc. I'd like them to be mostly in US-friendly timezones and willing to contract. Any pointers or good people or places to look these days?

@Jason hello pups!

Like & reply with a kind statement and I will follow you back 💕

My biggest wish for recent YC grads is to be more obsessed about their users than their competitors or peers. Playing the startup status game (employee count, famous investors, cool new “friends”) looks important but more often than not it’s a waste of time.

@immunetoboredom @Jira It’s what you get when your kindle is full of parenting and programming books

Contemplating a blog post, “How to write so developers can build, and build so developers will write” I want to rid the world of empty/bad @Jira tickets and encourage writing as organizational culture!

@Jason Down

Podcasting friends: I’m going to host an event for podcasters only… maybe 50-100 of us Whose interested in hanging for 48 hours?

@fwiles unless it's golf

Being a beginner at something is so amazingly refreshing humbling. Yeah I suck at it, but getting better and having fun. And it’s tech adjacent…

@Jason sure!

If you want me to follow you back just reply

Imagine this. You are an OSS maintainer. Someone opens an issue on your library... and they are the lead singer of Weezer. 🎸 Brings a whole new meaning to "Rockstar Developer" github.com/grahamearley/F…

thanks to @llanga for reminding me about "Zen..." during @pycon this year - inspired me to finally read it and I'm glad I did
