Rail unions keep telling us that safety is at risk. When will the majority of our politicians listen to them? We stand with the workers!
Quote Tweet

I found this post really helpful in porting my old #Jekyll front matter-based #redirects (which use the `redirect_from` key) to #Eleventy & #Netlify.
There is so much to unpack in this piece, but it offers a really helpful metaphor for understanding Large Language Models.

In #DevRel, you are not a salesperson. You are a conduit through which information should flow between the developer community and your product team(s), in the interest of making both groups successful.

Being a Developer Advocate isn't all about content creation.
As the name implies, it's about advocating for the developer. That means speaking up and fighting for their needs internally.

The opposite of “progressive” is “regressive”
When I see people from MSFT being outright racist and anti-Semitic on twitter with the company listed on their profile, I wonder why they weren’t part of the 10000 let go. Fair warning. If I see it, I’m sending it to HR. So keep it to yourself.

Bobby Hutton was one of the original member of the Black Panther Party.
After being bombed with tear gas and trapped in a burning basement, he came out shirtless to prove he was unarmed and the police immediately shot him 12 times and he died
He was only 17 years. A THREAD!
