Things I love that Elon has shipped:
🚫 limiting how many tweets you can view
✅ seeing garbage replies from Twitter blue subscribers first
🥞 stats pancake design in tweet details
⚙️ settings that revert themselves favor to subscriber-only features
✨ worst ads i’ve ever seen
To balance all the negativity on Twitter under @elonmusk, ships I love:
◆ Less spam
◆ Tweet bookmarking
◆ “For you” tab
◆ View count feedback loop
◆ Long tweets
◆ Community notes
◆ Rich text formatting
▲ Company icons
and most important:
◆ Higher iteration velocity

“We’re in this field to solve real problems for real people. The rest is details.”
I can always tell when I’m losing sight of the real problems because the details start to feel boring. Index on building good shit.
are you off work today and looking to argue on the internet? I’ve got you covered with my latest on why it’s not really worth it to switch tech stacks (link in next tweet)

Im hindsight, the time between being carefree in college and now getting excited about which Ms. Rachel song is coming on next seems *very* short

Nikola Jokic vs. Bam is one of my favorite matchups to watch. Check out @NekiasNBA and myself breaking down the ways Miami may try to make it work vs. Jokic!
Dig into that and MORE on the latest episode of the @dunkerspotpod

Everyone talking about Bluesky reminds me of when Google+ was coming out. And just like then, the FOMO is making me want to try it 😭

And just like that, @MicrosoftLoop is LIVE!
Incredibly excited and proud to be part of an amazing team that brought this product to public preview. I might be a little biased, but I truly love using it every day. Check it out and enjoy!

I really enjoy @DevtoolsFM in general, but this episode is especially great. I was chuckling and nodding the entire time.
Sunil’s brief history of the move towards the edge and his view on *why* it’s impactful is really worth listening to.
I talked. A lot. Thanks so much @DevtoolsFM, I enjoyed myself, very grateful for the opportunity.

I’ve been on a mission to listen to more music this year. I listened to 20 albums in January, most new, some old (both time and repeat-wise). And now my backlog is empty, so…
What’re your favorite albums? Doesn’t have to be new, but I need recommendations!

Another blog post I've been sitting on for a while. A question I get asked often is how managers actually evaluate engineers. That's a long answer. But we can at least talk abut some expectations that engineers often overlook.

Today my gf was laid off from @Microsoft as a Software Engineer 😢😭
She has 60 days to find a new job or she will be forced to leave the USA 😭😭😭
Please help her by sharing this post with recruiters who are hiring Software or Data Engineers.

Working on the updated web UX was seriously one of the highlights of my career. From the moment we introduced it to the community at #FlipFest, to watching the team of engineers press the buttons to make it live, it truly was a labor of love from the whole @MicrosoftFlip team.
