I like to code I’m not passionate about coding I would stop showing up to work if the paychecks stopping coming a job is a job. if a company tries to convince you that it’s more than that (a “family”; a “calling”) that’s a red flag — that gets used to get you to donate time

Every month I pay AWS $1.43 and I have zero recollection of how or why but I’m too lazy to dig through the AWS console to figure it out.

My barista today asked what I did for work, and when I said development she lit up. “I used to do front-end!” She was excited & told me about projects she‘d worked on. Then she said, “But I left tech because it was too sexist.“ That‘s an unacceptable loss. We need to do better.

might be a nuclear take, but I’d wager more harm is done by devs who love to code & treat their job like a hobby (where they solve fun code puzzles instead of solving their users’ immediate needs) than by devs who do it for the paycheck

you find yourself in a locked room with two tech bros one always tells the truth the other always lies how do you get them to stop talking about crypto?

this meme came up today on stream. I laughed really hard and then realized this is great advice, honestly

meetings on remote teams are hard. we get caught between two conflicting feelings: 1. “I don’t like meetings” 2. “I feel disconnected from my team” I’m increasingly convinced that many (most?) remote teams are having on the wrong kind of meetings (a meetings thread, I guess)

This is a periodic reminder: open source maintainers are doing their best to keep up with a firehose of questions, bugs, imperfect docs, and so many other tasks it's easy to take for granted. Please thank and be kind to OSS maintainers. Usually they only hear the bad feedback.

I have some news: I joined @Netlify this week! 😎💜 Because when @sarah_edo asks you to work for her, you say yes. 😅 I’m super excited to continue creating @LWJShow, tackle new ideas, and work to make the JAMstack community more accessible and welcoming to everyone. 💜💜💜
