    no squares allowed in _my_ circle

    Screenshot of Twitter for web. It says “Only people in @a2’s Twitter Circle can see this Tweet” on a light green background. Before the text is a person silhouette icon with a heart icon, in white on a stronger green background.

    Hello! I'm really proud of my team for getting this test out to some people on Twitter. This project was tricky in many ways, some of which were technical and some of which were not. We hope you like it and the space it affords you to Tweet with a smaller crowd. 🙏🏽

    As a software engineer I think the first way to improve the Olympics is to work out how to enable Asynchronous Swimming because all that synchronous stuff seems like it might be inefficient

    Best part of working at Twitter is you can have 2+ Twitter apps on your phone. Every like means double the notifications and double the dopamine. 1. Yes I have two Twitter apps on my phone. 2. Yes I have notifications on for likes. 3. Yes that’s on purpose. 4. See #3

    Words are magical. “No offense but…” means this is not offensive. “With all due respect…” means you may not be offended by this; I respect you. “Not a subtweet but…” means this isn’t a subtweet. “Thank you for coming to my TED Talk” means you came to my TED Talk.

    Not a subtweet but, if I express excitement about something, you are not required to tell me that you think it doesn’t deserve my excitement. Don’t yuck someone’s yum :)

    Got this email last night. Was so excited that I forgot to post about it 😅 🟨

    iPhone screenshot of the Mail app. From “Playdate” to “Alexsander Akers” on 4/20/2021 at 7:35 PM. The subject reads: “A shipment from Playdate is on the way!!” Then below it, the playdate logotype and “Your order #PD [redacted] is on the way!”

    Xcode, stop trying to make ‘fetching debug symbols’ happen

    A very tall screenshot of the Xcode “indexing” popover and there are a lot of spinners, saying things like “Fetching debug symbols for Meng Meng” or that say “Fetching debug symbols for Jia Yueyue p…”

    Yesterday Pavlov sustained an injury to his hind leg while playing fetch at the park 😭 Since he was limping, had to carry Pavlov home from our 2 mile walk. Despite the injury, Pavlov sure seemed to enjoy being carried home 😅

    I wonder if they plotted this with OpenGL ES because that lets you draw in an EAGLContext 😂
