I’m entering the job market. I want to work in tech, but on my own terms. I’m open to eng, community, and management roles. I enjoy the intersection of people and technology. I would love to connect this to my interest in mental health, or otherwise make an impact there.

Did I just hear a public commenter at the SF supes meeting suggest that riding a bicycle equates to 30 miles per gallon fuel consumption because of the fossil fuel required to produce a person's food?

I'm the CEO of Antifa. We have sleeper cells in Burger Kings all across the country. Our agents are secretly giving impossible whoppers to every conservative man who thinks he's ordering a good christian hamburger. In 6 months the republican party will be reduced to catgirls.

VC analysts 2 months into their job giving first time founders advice on how to run their company on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/Memereactions_/status/1223281122869751809 …

So I think I’m going to start an event that happens in Reykjavík every summer for OSS where we bring big names from around the world - but the requirement is that they must also bring a new speaker to mentor and coach at the same time. Email confconf@nivenly.com
