Can't believe it's taking this long for women's pain to be believed as real

@rogerbikes.com did you relocate?

I love Tuesday Carrie for leaving me notes about where to jump back into work on Wednesday. #LifeHack

“Developers are navigating an environment that’s changing faster than documentation can keep up. If we pretend we have it all figured out, we lose credibility. If we’re honest about the learning process, if we invite people into it, we build trust.”

Unexpected takeaway from #PressConf: I'm replacing Alfred with @raycast.com.
