Ya know, if the @SeattleKraken ever sell a TOQUE instead of a "beanie" (whatever the hell those are) I'd be tempted to buy one.

Tech companies with a global workforce are creating a generation of morning people in the US West Coast's tech worker population.

How to kick off a fantastic season 2 for the #SeaKraken (with @RexHolz repping the #gooil set)

I wasn't aware that AWS hired @xkcd https://xkcd.com/2677/

I hope that the next Stanislav Petrov is alive today, and that they are never called upon to save the world the way he was 39 years ago today.

Is there anything more attractive than somebody who KNOWS they're sexy as hell and knows that you know it too?

I've just realized that if I want to troll programmers and nitpickers, the best way to do it isn't to leave a dangling OPEN parenthesis, it's to tack on a spurious CLOSING one, because there's no snarky fix for it and they get stuck backtracking for a while to ensure it's real)

I'm not convinced about the taxi assertion. I still can't reliably call a taxi to a random place and expect them to come.

The year is 2022. Hotels are cheaper and better than AirBnBs. Taxis are cheaper and better than Ubers. All the new movies on streaming look like shit but the most mediocre flick from the 90s looks great on your 4K TV because it was ✨shot on film✨.

RAVE to the e-biking dad with a kid carrier, using the road as you must because Seattle's bike infrastructure is wildly inadequate. Keep it up, and hopefully eventually you'll have grade-separated lanes.

After taking over a month away from work since leaving AWS, it's time, today, to take the next step in my career. In a few hours I'll be starting in a new role as a Staff Engineer at GitHub.

I've heard nothing but good things about working at GitHub in the last several years, though, so I'm optimistic.

Onwards!

I'm also, honestly, pretty damn nervous for the same reason. I have a fair amount of confidence in myself, but even so, it's going to be challenging ramping up on a set of technologies that were in their infancy or nonexistent before my last gig.

I'm excited for the opportunity to stretch my technical skills here, working with technologies largely unfamiliar to me after over a decade inside the comforting cocoon of AWS's phenomenal deployment and development tooling.

I'm vaccinated out the wazoo, but I only wear shoes because people gripe at me constantly if I don't.

@AstroKatie Why is it that no one ever makes me justify my choice to wear shoes outside?

Why are you still wearing shoes? You know there's no nails on the ground, right?

Hey, #chicago, what's with all the CPD parked around the loop with flashers on?

No shade on Sam here, just observing that the only thing worse than the persistent sense you're not cool enough for the space you're in is the confirmed certainty..

Much as I enjoy club music and vibes, knowing that I'll be subject to judgement for dressing comfy and casual keeps me away more than just about anything else.
