My dog sniffs sidewalk Christmas trees he’s about to pee on with the same delicate attention a sommelier gives a bottle of fine wine

@jessejiryudavis I love these kinds of stories from other engineers. My favorite question to ask people is what's the worst bug they've ever experienced. Sadly, most companies won't share those kinds of things publicly bc they don't look good, but great stories to swap at parties :)

@heddle317 Stories of failure: outages, cost overruns, unmaintainable software, burnout, controversy. I think there's low-hanging lessons there that aren't covered by the usual corporate kvelling.

Been working on this for a while, and there are many many jaw-droppers about how a unicorn gets made. But one fact that stood out was that the CEO (and her husband) called her Asian-American co-founder "Ting Ting" - the name of a character from Mulan 2 theinformation.com/articles/the-i…

So many of us have a work-hard, achieve-more mindset engrained in us from school lives — @heddle317 is explicit with teammates about creative work not being linear, taking the time to go for a walk or take a nap, to do less not more, all to try to undo some of these mindsets.

@Lethain I like to support friends who are working on things I think are really neat. I assume I will never see the money again and that it is a donation to their entrepreneurial journey :)

Why do people angel invest? I get theory of angel investing as status building vehicle, but what are the other motivations? Especially for folks who do it before they are financially independent themselves? (Which seems increasingly common?) What do folks learn from the process?

Today we achieved the dream. Made a function called `missyElliott` that takes a data structure, flips it, and reverses it. I have ascended.

@whereistanya @Lethain Not braggy, just awesome :)

Uh this is a bit braggy so please forgive me: I had a goal last year to write something that got published on paper, and now I have contributions in these three beautiful things. I feel really good about that.

If you were to create a new web application today knowing everything you know now - what platforms, languages, and tools would you use?
