yes, rapid tests are far too expensive and definitely unavailable anywhere in this country now let me take a big swig of this coffee and watch this Biden speech that just aired

I’m quarantining for the next week because my (too young for vax) kid was exposed to COVID. Just letting you all know in advance that this may be an obsessive “why are any resources in our civilization being expended on anything except pediatric vaccines” account for a few days

Have you ever seen a pregnant woman give a tech talk at a conference? I have a dream of doing this someday (not currently pregnant btw)

@b0rk Corollary that I'd love your thoughts on: We should assign postmortem writing to folks who will learn the most from them as much as possible (as opposed to the folks most expert in the system today).

@b0rk Yes, this is SO true. I recently had the thought that during incidents, it makes sense to have people likeliest to be able to solve the bug quickly in charge and that I've learned a TON from writing the postmortem when the time pressure is off.

it's interesting to read the reactions to these debugging mysteries -- I think I need to communicate better that the main goal of is to *understand* the bug in the mystery, not to *fix* it

I'm quite excited to be joining @astronomerio at the end of the month to work on @ApacheAirflow! It'll be great to work on another big open-source Python project, and this time as part of my day job.

@michaelmina_lab I understand that @mackenziescott has been allocating incredibly generous amounts of $$ for covid relief. I hope to high heaven that US Congress takes up this idea and runs with it, but in the absence of leadership, I think it would be an amazing investment?

Dear US Congress, If you knew an investment of $5 Billion right now would save $500 Billion over 6 months and 100,000s of lives.. would you make the investment? Please Invest today in frequent rapid tests, for the US. We did the math for you.👇 nber.org/system/files/w…

@glyph The library app (libby) - especially with audio books. I've screen-timed away safari, social media, slack, and it works pretty well. I wish that my phone supported website-specific blocks, but I choose to not have the internet.

What is the app on your mobile device that you feel most productive and/or fulfilled using, and how do you encourage yourself to use it instead of, for example, this hellworld portal of an app?

@jorendorff @khyperia Something I miss from the office right now is occasional imports of De Ruijter through a Dutch colleague. Can confirm that these sprinkles are meant for sandwich making with real butter and high quality honey white sandwich bread.

Thanks to @khyperia I have learned that there are Dutch bread sprinkles. Just passing that on. AFAICT this brand is not a candy brand. It is exclusively a bread sprinkles brand.

I went over to the airport yesterday night to help my boyfriend as he was laid off. It's bittersweet nostalgia to go to the airport again - a place that usually makes me happy - but then see all the planes still parked and mechanics loading their toolboxes to put into storage.

@andrewgodwin Agreed - I loved this and much resonated for me... I've also been reading everything at staffeng.com lately trying to figure out who I want to be when I grow up. It's been incredibly valuable to have stories to reflect on.

@glyph Hmmm... I've never looked at Numbers much, but rely on Excel an awful lot (product of working with accountants :) )

Hello WFH-with-partners twitter, My spouse and I are trying to maintain an equitable distribution of childcare and focus time in our new, uh, challenging circumstances. One thing that would help here would be some infrastructure to facilitate this.

An @eventbrite colleague hosted virtual storytime on our platform for EB parents working from home with their kids over hangouts. It was incredibly sweet and a small moment of lovely grace in crazy, hard times.

@oldPhrost @janellekz Also, I wish I had time for percolating ideas. Trying to survive over here with 2 working parents and 2 kids under 4 in the house with no daycare. I mostly read things and share and hope that they get other people thinking great things <3

What if we created a billion new jobs? 🤔 Really think about it. This is the other road we can go down... How do we get there? How long would it take us to retool? Imagine if we did a UBI during the transition, & all collaborated on this... What if? Let that one simmer.

@janellekz Yeah, I'm not the author at all. I just liked the idea and it lined up with what I saw you saying (also hi, I'm a fan from GTC :) )

@sfrapoport I would still very much like to know your ideas on this topic. We've got so many cool technologies these days, I'm sure we could come up with some creative ways to help. Teamwork and collaboration go a really long ways. A few people, can make a whole lot of magic happen. 🧙‍♀️
