Does anyone have a good resource for an iOS system design interview prep? Video would be great, but I’ll take whatever you’ve got.

You ever just stop and wonder, “how did we get here??” I don’t mean politically, but as a people. Why are we not talking about the extreme cultural shift and how it’s affected and continues to affect us? I know I’m not the same person I was five years ago.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

23andMe is going under. Californians have the right to delete their genetic data before it's turned over to next party buying the assets. If you have a 23andMe account, go log in to download whatever reports you want to save, then follow these instructions to delete your data.

literally every time I talk to friends

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

We are all becoming refugees of a post-truth world.

I really don’t have the patience or motivation for pesky bugs like I used to. No, I do not accept this challenge.

Any iOS devs want to make an iMessage group just for funsies and to chat about dev stuff?! Only people I’ve met IRL would be nice. Hit me up if you want to be privy to my hot takes and complaints about dev stuff.

Remember when tech companies lured top talent on the premise “they were gonna change the world.” Turns out they did change the world, just not for the better. And as a result tens of thousands are continually unemployed. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Thinking back on all the times I worked with Google on DEI initiatives as a community organizer. I didn’t believe they were genuine back then either.

“Google scraps diversity hiring goals and cites Trump’s DEI orders.” F**king shamefuI.

Too many people didn't appreciate just how wonderful, how glorious, it was that the daily news cycle during Biden's presidency was boring as fuck.

Okay, what should we do?

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

The fact that I’m afraid to update my name on my passport because I’d have to mail in my current passport, and I don’t want to turn in my proof of citizenship right now…

Query: If “DEI” is the reason for the plane collision, why is this the first accident in [checks watch] 16 years? 🤔

As someone who spent years advocating and supporting DEI efforts, the current discourse around it is both disheartening and infuriating. Struggling to stay sane this week amid the insanity.

How am I supposed to care about image colors and font sizes when we’re rapidly descending into chaos? What a surreal experience. What kind of mental damage is this going to do, I wonder?

The fixation on "il/legality" is tripping people up, I think.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

I’m not sure I can handle another four years of constantly hearing that man’s name nor anything he has to say. His personality, his stupid faces, his voice—everything about him irritates me. I don’t want to carry that hatred around even for a single day.

want to be excruciatingly clear about this: TikTok didn't have to go dark last night and it didn't have to turn back on this morning. both of those were voluntary moves that the law does not directly touch.

It’s odd when people say they’re not interested in TikTok. It’s like saying you have zero interests. There’s something on there for everyone. That being said, it’s absolutely a form of dissociation and probably dopamine addiction. BUT it’s kept me sane for the last 5 yrs, so…

"I don't remember there being so many big fires in the past!" "Weird to see so many fires this time of year!" Wow, yeah, it is almost as if something is CHANGING.

I don't where this all ends up, but I don't think a democracy in which only one of the two major parties is committed to peaceful transition of power is particularly sustainable!

Snow is magical ❄️✨😍

To be a Democrat in America right now is like when you watch a horror movie and the protagonist goes into the basement and you get mad that the character is making such an obviously idiotic move.

good time to remind you of one of my favorite comics. for no particular reason.
