This is the #Marvel origin story we didn’t deserve, but needed. So much nerdy engineering joy with complex grief. #IronHeart

Seems like Trump’s most powerful advisor being a white nationalist should inspire greater alarm than the possible mayor of new york being pro palestinian rights

Walking away from $ due to bandwidth and quality control is the hardest part of solo consulting. But using this as a reminder that I need to get back in and hire the right one.

When you are 1/11 siblings and reminding others of alliances against homophobic declarations and plotting civil church revenge. Keeping the high road, but honestly shocked at how strong evangelical radicalization is in America. Kind poison can be the best healing medicine.

It's interesting watching AI discussions turn to ROI, when most people haven't figured out how to do that well with their other cloud workloads yet.

What would pride be without your fave engineering leaders and drag magic? Happy Pride Month! #TrailblazerCommunity #SoftwareTesting

Happy #Juneteenth! 🤎🙏🏾✊🏾

When you tell your siblings about your engagement and you get a novel length text about Catholicism and gay marriages never being a good idea. Haha. Let me live, Queen. Bless yall that survived uber conservative upbringings. But I do cherish that the text was clearly not written with GenAI.

#Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom—and a reminder that justice delayed is still justice denied. We honor the resilience of those who waited years to learn of liberation. And we recommit to fighting for the freedoms still being denied today.

Bless me for always choosing red eye flights.

I just finished reading Eloquent JavaScript, and I completed it faster than I anticipated. My love for the JavaScript language has grown, and I really enjoyed the author’s writing style. Up next is Tough Times Never Last, But Tough People Do! What are you reading?

I feel this on a daily basis. Things are not "normal" and in my subconscious I believe I'm planning for the day when it all falls apart.

If anyone has ever had a super homophobic mom who kicked you out at 13, just know this is how you respond. 💅

Fuck the bullies. I want my trans folk that I love you. I have taken concussions for you and I will always stand the you. This bullshit? I am going with you.

I will be writing more tomorrow, but, for tonight, I send my support to all of the trans people targeted by today’s ruling. You deserve better. And, to all of the amazing trans, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people in my life, you have taught me so much. You bring me life, and I love you.

Did you call @schumer.senate.gov to step aside this week? We're grateful for past accomplishments in the 2010s, but it's done. Let your delulu power go. This Jew did. Chuck, it's time.
