@wealthsimple recently migrated from Flow to TypeScript across all our repositories and @renvrant shares how we did it in this article: link.medium.com/SnY5jidzRlb (Warning: The article may not render properly on your Motorola Razr)

@EliFitch It's part of the story. The show changes its tune on the matter towards the end, but it's all included deliberately enough that you should make your own judgment on it.

I'm watching Evangelion for the first time and it is wildly problematic and male gaze-y. Just gotta accept it and move on? What's the deal

#BREAKING: Dozens of police, security, drones & helicopters have surrounded people living in encampments at Trinity Bellwoods Park to evict them. Imagine if the resources spent on evictions were instead spent on housing. Shame on the City of Toronto!

@superSGHP @patriciarealini What's annoying is this mantra was appropriated from scenarios in which there is genuinely no hierarchical organization that can control others, e.g. within the context of relationships

@StephenLCrane Where are you these days?

I’ve honestly just been so much happier since moving away from Toronto.

Wealthsimple's top engineers — CTO @karneyli and VP of Engineering @dominiquesr — on how you scale a tech product that’s blowing up (in the best way).

@blagh I have been playing Bootleg Just Dance where you just turn on an old music video and try to keep up

Just Dance continues to be a fun bit of COVID safe exercise

@StephenLCrane All new it would seem, we'll see how it goes.

@renvrant Is the character Yuffie is traveling with all new? Or based on some rando character only a giant nerd would know about...

WHY WASN’T THIS THE ORIGINAL REMAKE?!?

@StephenLCrane Pish posh, I have bigger things (Dirge of Cerberus) to worry about now Did you know that spikey haired shirtless dude in the remake trailer is a body Hojo hijacked after he uploaded his mind to the internet? Storytelling!

@renvrant You’re just upset they are confirming they’re aware Advent Children is a thing

@StephenLCrane How much you wanna bet it's ALSO a partial remake

They legit condensed the first 15% of Final Fantasy 7 into a 40 hour PS4 game and then a year later were like “lol, here is the actual remake on your phone”

@StephenLCrane Told you so :)

Excuse me while I go eat a fucking bullet. cc: @renvrant

@AT_Fresh_Dev Most SRI investment portfolios still include *some* gas and oil and other things that you probably wouldn't consider socially responsible. I don't know of any exceptions.

@danhulton It's also not true! There's a LOT of posts going around right now that essentialize neurotypes and we should be just as skeptical of them as posts that essentialize gender. It's often either not true or not straightforward.

Uh wait WHAT. WHAT? Holy hell this explains a lot.

@gvwilson too many sick bernie edits, the world would never be the same 😔

Whenever I hear someone say, “we did it! we survived the last four years!”, all I can think of is this.

@gvwilson Because centralization has created so much accountability???

Quick break from hellscrolling - does anybody wanna come work with me? The ad's for frontend platform, but we've got other roles too. DM me if interested jobs.lever.co/wealthsimple/5…
