Inspired by I'm going to do a little thread shouting out the great people I've met on here, and the people I'm doing my best to keep up with after the site goes down. Sort of a Follow Friday thread, I guess, but not really.

I work from home, in a very different timezone from my team. I sometimes go several days before talking to anyone besides my partner. This place really substituted social interaction for me, and despite its... everything, I'll miss it.

Whatever the opposite of “hardcore” 10x rock star dev is, that’s what I want.
cosycore, moving slowly, making things right, petting the dog, naps, staring out of the window pondering problems and drinking tea.

This website is going to break.
Quote Tweet
Update: company sources tell me that yesterday Twitter eliminated ~4,400 of its ~5,500 contract employees, with cuts expected to have significant impact to content moderation and the core infrastructure services that keep the site up and running.
