The road to Incidents is paved with Shoulds.

Inside every womanโ€”whose expertise is interrupted by a man who's admittedly not an expert but has opinions that demand acknowledgementโ€”is a roaring lioness

I need the โ€œthis is fineโ€ meme but with the dogโ€™s eyes closed.

My news embargo has continued since Wednesday November 6th. I wish I had something to bring to the conversation, but my shields are set on maga.

In an environment growing as fast as yours, traffic expands like gas in a vacuumโ€”every improvement in your stack fills instantly, exposing the next bottleneck. Super fun!

That network is cursed.

Itโ€™s seriously so great. Great work!

I just got put in AS timeout on this short road trip because I went faster than it wanted? At 85? This is southern Arizona - youโ€™re doing 90 or youโ€™re doing 25 and thereโ€™s no in between.

Iโ€™m super interested in whatโ€™s the same or similar vs what problems and/or technologies are new enough to change the experience. I suspect itโ€™s essentially the same experience :)

The emergency autosteer and emergency braking experiences are so jarring! Especially when wrong.

Seriously! Itโ€™s not an opt-in experience anymore.

Itโ€™s really incredible to watch this again. Honestly, I was starting to think this kind of community and excitement was old news. And, itโ€™s still hard to scale this fast! ๐Ÿคฃ
Itโ€™s the best!

When thereโ€™s time (not in an outage) I like to talk to about the before times when this design made sense.

I LOVE this feeling and moment.

Got to do it twice with Livejournal and Twitter (also Fastly but if we did it right you didnโ€™t notice) and Iโ€™m eating all the details.

Outages, massive user increase, feature degradation, fiber cuts, oh my!

This is the platform we wanted when we started this.

It finally happened: the Tesla FSD didnโ€™t swerve or stop to avoid a Waymo making a bad left turn. I took over.

But I also honked? When does that behavior change? Either autonomous driving groks honking or I have to chill.

tl:dr is actually a pretty rude statement.

The biggest challenge I have about ADHD these days is remembering to take my meds :/

Leggings is just part of this - functional pleasure with no fashion fun joy.

From a womanโ€™s fashion POV, will I ever feel the joy and comfort I got from wearing jeans under a dress that the 90s provided?

Some people donโ€™t spend all their brain cycles thinking about how this could get worse and it shows.
