@_byroot @brian_scanlan Huge welcome 🙌

Happy to share that today I'm starting as senior principal at Intercom!

@brandalisms 😂I can so relate, currently bringing back 3 down to the kitchen 😬🙈

It would be nice if I could muster some discipline around taking the water glasses from the previous night back downstairs from my nightstand but here we are. 🥛🥛🥛☕️🥛

In Dublin on May 22nd? wanna drop in to the Intercom office? Ruby Ireland are running a meetup in our office with (at least) one talk being about Rails at Intercom: x.com/rubyireland/st…

A new entry on our Intercom AI blog from @_ketanbhatt, about our decision to stick with @elastic as opposed to adopting a new VectorDB for Fin. tl;dr: operational knowledge is valuable, and ES will do vectors. Link below!

Happy women’s day 🤗 very grateful to have amazing women in my life who inspire me daily

@shayonj Happy new year pal 🤗another great read. Looking forward to many more in 2025

@brandalisms 🤩class, you have to tell me then how it was 🤗

@serifritsch Thank you, someone DMed me that and i booked tickets for tomorrow. Thank you! I wasn’t aware of it and it’s so close to us

Suggestions for things to do with toddlers in Dublin? Not the zoo, the Dead Zoo is getting refurbished, been to Airfield but it wasn’t very interesting to them, exhausted playgrounds but if there’s a special/different one will visit, been to Dinos Alive, Leprechaun museum. Ty.

@HelenORahilly Sending the biggest hugs 🤗

@eileencodes Loved the talk, thanks for putting it up online to watch 🙌

If you missed it, my talk from Rails World - "The Myth of the Modular Monolith" is now available to watch online. Slides are also available on speakerdeck.com/eileencodes. youtube.com/watch?v=olxoND…

@nateberkopec This is so true 😅 if I am honest I’d still call myself a beginner datadog user as every week there seems a concept I have not heard of

I've said that Datadog is too complicated to be used except by the SRE team and about 2% of the developers at any given company. If that's true, I think Grafana is probably only suitable to be used by the resident company brain surgeon.

At @Intercom, we’re always innovating and building for our future scale. In what’s one of the most interesting projects I’ve worked on, discover how we’re future proofing our database layer with Vitess and @PlanetScale: intercom.com/blog/evolving-…

@RhythmOfRiora @ShipItCon yay! already looking forward to your talk 🥳

On my way to Dublin for @ShipItCon tomorrow! Last year I was an attendee and this year I’m giving a talk ✨🥳 Super excited to meet the other speakers and hang out with lots of new people! Lmk if you’re coming to the conference too! 😁✨

@shayonj 🤩🙌👏👏

@TouchingVirus Hard same what amazing athlete 🤩absolutely in awe

Been a day now and this must be my hundredth rewatch. The commentary, the two failed attempts, the fact he did it for the love of the game and not the gold medal which he already had. Just incredible

@mariokostelac ❤️❤️🤩

Ok I see now that being a dad also means being on call 24h. But problems are harder and hurt more than engineering ones.

@fhinkel 🙌

If I did a live stream series building a compiler from scratch, would you tune in?

@SheekaPatak They are absolutely amazing 🤩

Been trying my hand at painting with actual paint and paper and not on a screen. It’s SO good for destressing that I don’t actually mind that these are a bit of a mess and I just look forward to getting in a lot more practice 😁

@pratik60 I literally caved today and bought new, noise cancelling headphones 😂

Doing deep focus work in loud spaces is so hard! Water cooler chats are one thing, desk chats about personal life that force everyone around you to put headphones, grrrrrr. I wonder how much the need of silence drives work from home.
