GREAT NEWS EVERYONE

IT’S TWOS DAY

We should all start planning now

Hello Twitter friends, I am a data engineer currently looking for new opportunities, I’m cloud native ☁️ and fluent in Python, JavaScript, SQL and much more. Would appreciate any leads.

Thanks for going further by focusing on character.

Designers: icons for actions is A BAD IDEA. Just had to help my mum write an email on a tablet after years of using the Gmail app and thinking it was reading only. The fucking pencil icon means *nothing* and the paper aeroplane doesn’t mean “send” either. Use. Words. On. Buttons.

“If we make it so that you have to understand programming to even start, then we take something open and enabling, and place it back in the hands of those who are already privileged. I have plenty of fight left in me to stand up against that.”

it’s a good thing that we’ve all been using git’s decentralized fundamentals to avoid a dependency on one corporation amirite
