Following non-developers is so confusing. Couple definitions for some words you may see pop up on your time line:

📕 library: a place with books
📈 graph: a chart
🗺 map: used for navigation
🐍 python: snake
📚 heap: a pile of things
🌲 tree: a tall plant
🐞 bug: an insect

I work for AWS, use the Q CLI constantly - happy to help answer any questions for folks!

Oh interesting, I think a lot of python is pretty elegant — except the dunders

My favorites right now are the "Growth tactics from OpenAI and Stripe's first marketer" and "How to build a team that can take a punch"!

I think that's just where so many people's minds are at right now (to be fair I also work on AI so I'm biased)

✅ taking selfies
✅ posting about your successes
✅ asking for help when you need it

Things that do mean you're insecure:

🛑 submitting personal information over a http request

apparently X shows you all your top tweets if you look at your profile when you're not logged in, and wow i had some bangers. i feel the need to post them here to just have them live somewhere else...

I don’t have the mental bandwidth to post much about politics but Trump sucks.

I can then ask questions like “what should I do in x scenario” and it will answer with my values or like me!
