If you personally know someone who has tested positive for covid -19 retweet this. People need to see how close it really is.

This shit is incredibly abusive and should be outlawed under a basic right to privacy for employees. Disgusting pitch, disgusting surveillance.https://twitter.com/anejmehadzic/status/1253214729193033728 …

Career ladders can be helpful to set expectations. But most of the time they get misused. They lead to learning how to "ace the test" instead of actually building the right behaviors. Here are the questions I use with my team for my personal growth conversations instead

I haven’t seen my wife or kids or dog in 4 weeks because I’m working in an ED swimming in COVID19 and purposefully trying not to get them sick too. These people make me fucking furious.https://twitter.com/arlenparsa/status/1251615918947536896 …

The “when can we reopen” debate gives me flashbacks: “What date can we ship?” Well, let’s talk milestones... “Yes but when can we ship?” Depends on when we hit these milestones, which are... “How about May 1st?”

I don't read specs.

“Schools are closing? Where do I send my children?” “How do I afford healthcare?” “I can’t afford to take off work!” “I don’t have guarenteed housing if I leave school!” The issues the virus is causing are literally everything progressives have been trying to fix for years.

the threat posed by coronavirus is less that you personally will die, but that the healthcare system will collapse tech people: you should know this, coronavirus is fundamentally a DDoS of our healthcare infrahttps://twitter.com/LizSpecht/status/1236095180459003909 …

The amount of support needed for people who have shittastic managers is staggering. Mind you my complaint is about the managers and not the people I give support to. I really want to return to being my asshole self can't managers leave the "being an asshole" to us ICs.

In case you missed it: I'm on the lookout for my next opportunity. If you need someone with a decade of community and developer relations experience for your team, let's chat! (Also some mgmt experience ) #devrel

That's fine if you're just hacking together something for yourself, but I'd avoid this syntactic sugar in production code.

Let’s be clear, public health, not corporate profits, must be the number one focus of our coronavirus response. A vaccine that’s just for rich people won’t do much to protect public health.https://twitter.com/mmcauliff/status/1232784696792297472 …

I like Warren a lot, and I identify with her in ways that are uncomfortable to quantify, and it’s painful (like, real heartache) to see her get this far and be trashed and counted out because she is hands down one of the best candidates I’ve seen in my lifetime.

Republicans have been waging a war on science, women’s reproductive freedom, and fetal tissue research for so long that we have no vaccine for the coronavirus despite having more than 17 years to prepare since the SARS outbreak first alerted us to the dangers of coronaviruses.
