Here's your periodic reminder to leave the campground cleaner than you found it

Wow, I just tried using Twitter, Instagram and YouTube natively on iOS and it was an unbelievably bad experience. Ads & promoted content are everywhere, the real stuff you want to see is pushed down immensely. Using browser versions with adblockers fixes it 😫

Dividing the world into vaccine haves and have-nots is like dividing a swimming pool so it has a "pissing end" and a "no pissing" end. We're still all in the same pool. Humanity has a shared epidemiological destiny. 8/

A team is a system. No one part of the system is responsible for its success. Success comes only from the system as a whole.

Worth living, the unexamined life is not.

Microservices are not problem free. Monoliths are not problem free. If you’re moving from one to the other because of problems you’re having, make sure you understand the new problems you’re about to have.

We need cities designed for autonomous kids, not for autonomous cars.

"A side effect of big company tech culture is that someone [...] can easily do very high (positive) impact work by just going around and fixing problems that any intern could solve, if they're willing to ignore organizational processes" #sotrue #nosprints danluu.com/culture/

Why are people acting like "the metaverse" is a real thing beyond an elaborate rebranding move from Facebook

@yreynhout Ik begrijp ook gewoon niet waarom ze zich niet willen laten vaccineren? Die hebben toch ook allemaal een Tetanos vaccin gekregen (en nooit Tetanos gekregen na verwonding)? En dan dit soort verhalen "UZ Leuven haalt kankerpatiënt van operatietafel" 😢 vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2021…

@AnnekeSchoonjns @mathiasverraes Doing whatever is needed would result in undermining their own re-election 😫 I think some do care but are afraid of losing their position/paycheck/power/... 💰 Some others care but fall for the greenwashing lobby and sponsor the wrong thing ♻️ And other scenarios

Politicians are good at negotiations, compromise, playing the game. What they don't get is that climate change doesn't respond to any of that. We need action, not haggling a percentage off of the CO² reduction goal.

"The automobile has dissolved the living tissue of the city. Its appetite for space is absolutely insatiable; moving & parked, it devours urban land, leaving buildings as mere islands of habitable space in a sea of dangerous & ugly traffic." —James Marston Fitch, NY Times, 1960.

@ylorph @YellowBrickC @ddd_eu I agree, I see a lot of value in both versions of the talk/workshop! It was fantastic in the meetup, but hands-on, I mean, take my money

@YellowBrickC @ddd_eu The "too much.. " sorry but not your decision ;-) , let whoever makes the agenda decide that... it's their job... yours is to submit Both format ;-)

@yreynhout Gisteren wakker geworden op ontwaakzaal van het operatiekwartier naast een niet-gevaccineerde kerel die na herhaaldelijk aandringen van het personeel zijn masker weigerde opzetten "krijg geen lucht". Als hij degene was met kanker ipv ik, was het waarschijnlijk geen probleem 😷

@huizendveld @PayPal drunkventually consistent

Go home @PayPal, you're drunk.

This. Even if we only think of the product team here, I think of artifacts and outcome as "ours". Collectively owned, and at best also co-created.

Tech jargon is funny to me because there are people that can explain tech concepts in a way that a 5th grader would understand, but they're looked over bc they don't sound like they hold a phd in Comp Sci. Communication is such an underrated skill in tech.

Everybody is hiring Software Developers, nobody is hiring Software Maintainers. You know, just an observation.

Picard management tip: Don't try to go at maximum speed all the time. You'll burn out your engines.
