Proposal: a greenroom for speakers, but instead of a quiet place to collect your thoughts, it’s a dance party to shake off your jitters.

@grimalkina I just cited it in my keynote to the ACCU Conference with a crowd of C++ devs! Please pass on my thanks to Dr Lee, that paper gives me such hope for the future 💕

399 downloads in just a couple days for our preprint 🥹 Rapidly released open science and community-based, empirical social science methods in software fights such an uphill battle in a world of AI content and paper mills, so every person we reach truly matters to us!

Please ignore that the talk description was clearly just copy/pasted from my proposal unedited (;

One of my more popular (and somehow still applicable!) talks from AltConf 2015 isn’t up on the realm.io academy site anymore — can someone help me track this iOS localization video down? academy.realm.io/posts/altconf-…

I am so excited to be heading to Colorado to keynote this conference!! “Coping with Other People’s Code” is a new talk I’ve workshopped in Seattle (thank you @xcoders) and can’t wait to present to a bevy of C++ engineers cppcon.org/2023-keynote-l…

@RebeccaSlatkin All the congrats!! I’m rooting for you and your whole growing family <3

2 years + 32 weeks in the making we're in the final stretch. 🎉🥳

I’m solo parent tonight, so bought a tiny round cake to share. Me and the 5 year old each had 1/6 size slice, then the kid went to bed, and then I had another slice If he notices tomorrow there will be tears and tantrums but damn I’ll be proud of his intuitive sense of fractions

@PaolaNotPaolo Taking time to take care of yourself IS strong. Sending you a lot of love

@jasonbrennan It sounds so lovely but I think I would implode from the social pressure

"It isn't Twitter, you know," sobbed Lucy. "It's OK. We shan't meet you there." "But you shall meet me, dear one," said Aslan. "Are—are you there too, Sir?" said Edmund. "I am," said Aslan. "But on Instagram I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name."

(Also, I am absolutely “write a message asking for help” 🦆)

Literally printed this out to keep on my desk — it’ll have to hold me over till the book drops

@suedeyloh I’m working through a tough TBB issue and your GitHub writeup last year of your own deadlock issue is SO helpful! Just seeing your repro project and questions was useful, but the way you also updated the sample code with the answer is absolutely wonderful. Thank you ♥️

@Aleen @TeamNeem Ew. But I’m glad it filtered out to your timeline in terms of people being supportive, I guess? Even so, I’d signed back into Twitter for just a second to see how its world was, and I think… I’m going to carefully set it back on a shelf again

@nwreg @Politepix This is actually next on my list for the weekend! Sealant squad, form up

Some personal news: I write ✨🖋️ last month, I wrote a poem read it here: maylikhoe.com/writing/guess-…

@samuelgoodwin Oh good one! It’s like the milk is spilling 😅

@samuelgoodwin It might not work for you, but my mnemonic for 오 was that the little vertical line points to the circle, so it’s “O”!

@nothe I should start adding encouraging notes too!

Thank you, Friday-afternoon me, for graciously writing “// START HERE:” with breadcrumb links to source code + Slack discussions for Monday-morning me. Time-traveling teamwork at its best.

@dimsumthinking Never change ♥️
