I’ve said in the past that I think the most important work in software eng/tech is building the right thing (as in, aligned to needs) but I think I’ve recently been updating that to be the need to building a (sociotechnical) system that *learns* what the right thing to build is.

@TwitterDev @TwitterSupport We recently subscribed to the Basic API tier and migrated our app (which sends alerts on behalf of transit agencies) to the v2 API. Around 5PM today, our app was suspended without notification. Can you please tell us how we can appeal the suspension?

The fourth reason is the most frightening: the TESCREAL ideologies are HUGELY influential among AI researchers. And since AI is shaping our world in increasingly profound ways, it follows that our world is increasingly shaped by TESCREALism! Pause on that for a moment. 😰

Hey twitter-friends! Are you an LA transit rider who uses the bus rather than the train when you have both options available? Why do you make that choice?

I wasn't sure what kind of audience to expect at City of STEM on Saturday... Turned out to be mostly parents with young kids. I got to nerd out about the Metro API and real-time data to a handful of peeps, and that's enough for me to call it a success. ✌️
