I can't believe Zoom gives away their best feature, limiting meetings to 40 minutes, for free.

Shipping dark mode meant rebuilding and redesigning core foundations of our design system, and finding ways to refactor parts of GitHub that were never designed with themeability in mind. It took some of the best people I've ever had the pleasure of working with...

weird how the company's revenue doesn't go down when workers move, meaning they produce the same value for the company, but they want to pay those workers less, wonder why that happens?

It's not every day you get to work on something you'd describe as "delightful." Looking forward to this upcoming GitHub Universe :)

Today during a company-wide Q&A session, I asked a hard question. I almost didn't until occurred to me if I couldn't ask with all my privilege of being a white man with seniority (7 years this week, recently promoted to staff engineer), who can?

4. The answers to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive company are knowable. No more saying "but it's too difficult." What you are actually saying is "I haven't listened to people who know how to do this." 2020 is too late for this to be an excuse

Big tech companies will put the resources behind figuring out how to get us off this planet, but nowhere near the amount required to end shitty behavior in their own company, on the planet where we currently live. This is a fact, not an editorial statement.

We're working to slow the spread of coronavirus in San Francisco, but we know that the challenges we face are going to get tougher.
The public health order for people to say safe in their homes will soon be extended until at least May 1. More details to come soon.

Finally decided to try Substance Designer by and I have to say, I'm a fan! The YouTube tutorial on creating a dirty ground texture was fantastic as well.

We released patch 1.2 of #TheOuterWorlds today, and it includes a fix for the dreaded "the game thinks my companions are dead" bug, which I believe I spent more time investigating than I have for any other individual bug in my career (1/18)

Hello, friends.
I've gone on a few Twitter hiatuses over the past several months, and each time I'm back, I find it still extremely toxic and bad for me. So, this one will likely be much longer or perhaps semi-permanent. Please feel free to reach out in other ways. Much love β€οΈ
