@phillip @AdamRackis I hate getting old. I still want to root for Adobe, but after watching them dismantle and kill so many great technologies over the years it's just hard to watch when the pick up another great product and not fear the worst.

@AdamRackis I don't hate them, but just look at their record. Their mode of operation, etc.

My god I had no idea how many people _fucking hate_ Adobe

@leifwells @PrimeVideo I hit the home screen of Amazon yesterday and the whole thing was telling me about a future NFL game between two teams on the other side of the country. It even had a count down to kickoff in the menu bar. I couldn't feel less understood.

@adrocknaphobia It's true. Unfortunately almost every MM product is dead. Parted and pieced into other things in some places, but gone none the less. :( I hope Figma fairs well in the Adobe chop shop. I really liked that product.

~16 years ago, Adobe acquired a small upstart called Macromedia. MM took over the company from within. I expect we’ll see a similar evolution here. Very excited for the future.

RIP Figma :( bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@OluwatobiDave Although sometimes it does take me a couple days to reply to things :)

@simBateman Definitely going to implement that

What Productivity tool do you use to keep yourself off social media whenever you want to work? Wanted to do some coding today, half of my time was spent on social media😪 #BlackTechTwitter #productivity #100Devs #tech #coding #learning

I don't want to call anybody out, but do I have any friends with an Android phone that would test something for me? Bonus if you're a wine drinker. (might not be a complete waste of time) #iosSlave #onlyApple #noTestDeviceForMyPWA #PWAinstall

@Lanooba I think all of those need to be doubled.

@lucperkins I think @getridwell takes in that kind of stuff in our bi-weekly service. They use local providers for recycling.

Is there anything at all that can be done with used clothing that’s defective (holes, tears, etc)? I hate just throwing stuff away.

@kyleshevlin I think it depends. We love the choices both the previous home owners made. We have been in our house for almost 20 years.

@ASpittel Build, Test, Deploy! Build and test on any branch, deploy on develop. Build, Test and Manual deploy on Main. Everyone should do it, even if all you "test" is linting.

Frontend developers, what do you know about CI/CD?

@AmyBlankenship Is that like "if you have to ask if its to early to start drinking we can't be friends" ?

@simBateman If you have to ask...

Not sure if I am winning or losing when I start chanting “hookers and blow” on a client conference call.

@pacificPDX I feel like this is a "Congratulations!" type of moment, but also that feels wrong in some way. I doubt this is a new revelation to you. I am so happy you are expressing your full self. I am sure gay Mike is fucking awesome. I look forward to learning more of him. :)

@turoczy So glad I am not alone. I can't seem to shake off this feeling.

Do not delude yourself. Tomorrow is going to feel like a Monday, too. Also probably the next day.

@phillip I don't personally see this as any different from Stocks. That stuff has never made any sense to me :)

@simBateman Yeah, I'm talking about the currency side. Promoters claim there's value being created, but as far as I can see it's 100% based on more people dumping their actual money in to make the price go up. It can't last forever yet many will argue it can.

I may not be the most enthusiastic believer in crypto, but does anyone see an end game that doesn't involve a bursting bubble? Seriously, how does the math work for this to have a future? More suckers born every minute?

@abayer I just got my booster today, so I think I sit on your side of the debate. That being said, this pandemic ends when everyone has antibodies. And there are only two ways to get them. Get Vaxxed or get COVID. So if the stupid die to get us there ...

Every time I see someone tweeting that we’re all gonna get Covid eventually so fuck it, I want to hit them with a very large stick.

@phillip I find there are 3 big uses of NFT's. They represent the ownership of: 1. Real Items in the Real World 2. Virtual Items in the Real World 3. Virtual Items in the Virtual World I think 2 is where all the noise is at and it's useless. But 1 and 3 have great potential.

I'm all for art NFTs and the financial side of this opportunity--but why must there be so much activity in "art" that's nothing more than permutations of silly avatars and, arguable, unartistic crap?

Sitting here working, listening to my dog snore and knowing my entire family is still in bed at 10am. I am a little jealous, but also very proud to be able to provide for them all in this way. 2021 - I am grateful.
