I had a few jokes drafted but ultimately what I'm feeling is pride and gratitude for all my teammates over the years with whom I worked on this release. Thank you to everyone.

It was helpful feedback not because I didn't know it was a good practice, but because I thought I was already doing it well enough. Sometimes all you need to hear is "try harder." (cc: )

Early in my career, a peer wrote in their perf feedback for me that I should try harder to break down my giant refactor PRs into smaller atomic steps, and I think of this every time I manage to find a way to do that

Yeah what I meant was adaptability, context switching, approaching problems from different angles, and so on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive
But I’m enjoying reading the broader range of responses, too

Since people in these comments don't seem to agree, what do you mean by 'cognitive flexibility?'

Fellow olds (>30): at what age did you notice your cognitive flexibility start to decline? I don’t totally feel it yet but I’m very aware of the fact that it’s probably happening.

Lot of effusive early reviews, but it’s just so hard for me to believe!

Avatar The Way of Water: lol imagine being dumb enough to bet against James Cameron. or teen alien Sigourney Weaver. or giant whales subtitled in papyrus.
light years better than the first & easily one of the best theatrical experiences in ages. streaming found dead in a ditch.

I know it’s foolish to bet against James Cameron but the Avatar sequel looks like total snooze fest. Which is the funnier outcome? Because that’s what I’m rooting for

Tasteful lack of booming drum noises: B-, adequate
Deconstructed, plinky piano adaptation of classic theme: F-, be better

Our society is broken. Can’t make a movie trailer without layering over drums from The Dark Knight. A culture in decline.

Trailer Drums. For the Mario movie. Why.
Not ever trailer needs fake boom boom BOOM drums! You could just play the goddamn Mario theme!

My favorite ever tech talk is ’s Zero to GraphQL. A masterful pitch. It’s rare that I remember any talk, but five years later I remember this one so vividly. It was one of the moments that made me want to work for Facebook, and with Steve.

It doesn't really help after a rebase though because I still have to push once per PR 😩
Quote Tweet
Replying to @acdlite
I bit the bullet and set all the repos to always squash. Atomic commits = separate PRs. It sucks. But it works.

This is especially annoying during a rebase. If I have a stack of N atomic commits, I have to push N separate times per rebase.

I wish GitHub had an option to run checks on every commit, rather than every push. In lieu of a built-in solution, I have to push once per commit!
(What I _really_ want is stacked PRs, but in the meantime...)

I really hate to admit this, but Kari Lake's haircut is similarish enough to Lea Salonga's that whenever I see a picture of Kari there's a brief moment when I think it might be Lea. Then, disappointment. For this reason, and others, I'm glad she lost.

We're bringing in-context docs right into your editor and helping surface errors before you even hit save.

If I were Elon I'd keep it simple and base verification on follower count. More than N active followers? You get a check.
Follower counts are already a prestige marker on here. Arguably more than the check. Might as well embrace that.
Twitter Blue should be about fewer ads.
