The DNC didn’t change the rules to ensure good, diverse candidates could remain on the debate stage. They shouldn’t change the rules to let a billionaire on. Billionaires shouldn't be allowed to play by different rules—on the debate stage, in our democracy, or in our government.

It seems concerning that many of the people building election software are the people who aren't scared enough at the prospect of building election software.

the idea that democracy has to take 4 hours on a work night is fucking insane when half the country is one bill away from bankruptcy

My time at @Vonage is coming to an end. I have ~10 years experience with #devrel or devrel-adjacent work and have given over 100 talks in the last 5 years. If you're in need of a developer advocate/community person with some management experience, let's chat!

Do 1 on 1s and don’t skip them, learn who your people are, give structured reviews every 6 to 12 months, remove bad apples sooner than later, lead by example when possible, set an achievable pace, invest in education, show your team trust and give autonomy.https://twitter.com/AngelaRiggs_/status/1216078559346741249 …

Nobody learns how to write good software without writing lots lots of bad software first. Don't let fear that your code will suck paralyze you.

I need a Graph Database with Time Series...

Lately I’ve noticed some Democratic politicians defending the current healthcare system by saying it preserves “choice” for Americans. As a former health insurance exec who helped draft this talking point, I need to come clean on its back story, and why it's wrong and a trap 1/11

@jack @TwitterSupport I think it's great that you're suspending genuine human accounts for who knows what, whilst you provide a safe space for extreme right-wing scum like @realDonaldTrump and @BorisJohnson and @Nigel_Farage. Presumably they drive more valuable traffic, eh?

Elizabeth Warren is a professor emerita at Harvard Law and one of the all-time most cited legal experts in bankruptcy and commercial law. The rate she charged over 30 years isn't even competitive with her male "peers" w/ far less expertise. FUCK. THIS. NOISE. PAY. WOMEN.https://twitter.com/joshjame/status/1203841898990985216 …

that “pentest lab” with their bizarre, nonsensical explanation of why they store plaintext passwords has cured my imposter syndrome, watered my crops and cleared my skin

When people talk about how public trains or whatever will be more "efficiently" run by the private sector, they just mean that the private sector will raise prices so poor people can't use it, and cut all the employee's pensions. For some reason economists call this efficiency.

Gall’s Law: “A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.” (Via @davewiner)
