See you on #Mastodon @HelloAmanda@universeodon.com

@ynab is it just me or can I not import my @SoFi checking, savings and credit card transactions?

I second this!

Sometimes I feel like an old person using Slack when I reply to messages like they are email...."Hi Matt, Let me know! Thanks, Amanda" Pretty sure I shouldn't be doing Hi and Thanks in each Slack message. #BadHabit

It's not ambition that holds women back. They're punished for violating gender stereotypes as warm & submissive. Data: ambitious men and women get promoted. Aggressive women are penalized more than men. End the double standard: if you accept it in men, don't reject it in women.

Navigating playdates and who your kid can visit without you in this post-COVID world....ugh

I love the global nature of @SWEtalk! On a SWE Senate subteam call with US, Costa Rica, and India members! Missing our team member from Spain today but she's enjoying a local affiliate event in Spain!

Consent, not Agreement. A group rarely agrees on anything, but consent ("okay, I don't like it, but I can live with it—let's try it") works really well. To have consent, you must have an experimental mindset and a willingness to replace things that don't work—agility IOW.

@elonmusk You already have your mind made up. Why ask people? To stir discourse among the masses? What is your goal in this dialogue? It does not appear to be to change minds.

What do you think of the culture war?

Listened to my favorite book from high school on audio this week. It was as amazing as I remember. Thanks Terry Goodkind for the timeless Wizard's First Rule.

I don't often share these but this was a good one, $50 off Stitch Fix stitchfix.com/invite/g4cg7t5…

Why do all these adults who aren't parents of a child with ADHD think they can dish out advice on working with kids with ADHD?! Today someone told me I can cure my child by cutting out white bread 🤦‍♀️

The best part of working with non profits is the passion of the volunteers

I feel like a failed adult when I can't find simple things in the grocery store, like salad dressing

One of favorite things to do is call award recipients I nominated for @SWEtalk awards to let them know they have been selected. It was a good day yesterday to do that. Can't wait to cheer them on at #WELocal and celebrate all the award recipients!

8yo washed her hands after carving pumpkins, today we found a pumpkin vine growing in the sink drain.

This is awesome! I am so glad they have these for folks to experience the world. washingtonpost.com/travel/2022/11…

Taught my #scrum team this one this week, thinklouder.com/agile-quicktip…'., highly recommend popcorn, especially for virtual calls.

I'm going to try jellyfish in a meeting next week with people who pontificate for hours...wish me luck hbr.org/2016/04/the-ri…

Got rid of my outlook scroll bar by cleaning my email and got my gmail to a single page. Woohoo! #accomplished
