Lawful neutral. Definitely not a cat in a hat. Opinions are of Cthulhu. what/why.
I’ve spent a better part of today, playing with #Twitter’s internal API and trawling through GitHub for examples of the apps that use it. I think I’ve learned enough to try and code something up. This thread will be my notebook and a journal.
The minimal objective will be to write an exporter from the following list to OPML, so that I can move most of my feed into an RSS reader. And if I don’t lose the interest by then, I' may even try to write a web app for reading the feed with no frills.

hiring a staff engineer: one req, six hours of interviews
promoting to staff: a ten page promo doc requiring months of effort, feedback from dozens of colleagues, and approval by six layers of management

@glennf @gruber A great feature for any Mac with ≥2 USB C ports would be built-in cable testing. You plug both ends of one cable to the Mac, and the OS automatically detects that, no UI needed, and pops up a dialog saying “this cable supports x mbps and x Watts power delivery”. That’s it, there is no step 3!

Я случайно потратил всю ночь на то чтобы написать узкоспециализированный пост с аудиторией где-то в сто человек, и теперь все мои соцсети узнают об этом: https://medium.com/@kojoru/how-to-set-up-merge-queues-in-github-actions-59381e5f435a

It occurred to me today that the social value of the open-source work I do in my free time has probably been an order of magnitude more useful to the world than everything I've ever done as a paid employee. Needing to seek a wage almost certainly makes me a less productive member of society than I would otherwise be.
A delusion data-driven companies seem to develop is that any complex product can be represented with a single, easy to interpret SLO.
