after just shy of 3 years, I was laid off from GitHub this morning. I have a family, so this one hurts especially bad. I am obviously immediately looking for any design related position within tech. Any leads would be appreciated.

I'm so sorry to hear about all of the layoffs. @zipline is currently hiring US-based, staff-level, full stack engineers. We are a deeply mission-driven company using drones for delivery, and we're fully operational in several countries around the world! DMs open 🙏

I got a pedicure for the first time today. Didn’t love it. In the future, I will continue to challenge traditional notions of masculinity in my usual way: By being physically weak and having no useful skills.

Want to be promoted? 1. Tell your manager 2. Ask them for a bullet point list of things they’d need to see from you to feel comfortable promoting you 3. Continually check in w/ them to see how you’re progressing against that checklist This will increase your chances of success.
