- Why would I pay GitHub $100/year for an AI to tell me what code to write when men do it for free?🤔
- Sure, sex is great. But have you ever merged a PR that was open for 15 days and had 200+ comments.
- A perhaps unpopular opinion (and a little ironic coming from me). You don’t have to write blog posts, contribute to open source, give technical talks, or anything else to be a capable and great engineer. You can leave your code at the office and that’s totally fine.
- The most unrealistic thing about Star Trek is how good the engineering team is at estimates.
- Take: People don't miss Google Reader, they miss the ability to curate their content consumption without the invasive nature of recommendation algorithms hindering their autonomy of choice.
- I just finished my first three weeks at Microsoft. I’m blown away by all the incredibly smart and capable engineers I meet. Then I realize that I’m one of them and it feels wonderful.
- 99.99% of the time, “rockstar” engineers acquire their status by withholding information from the team and setting themselves up as a bottleneck for key development work.
- I wanna tweet out a DNS joke but it might take y’all 24 hours to get it.
- What’s your on-brand Git commit message? Mine is “Fix typo.”
- Many people think diversity and inclusion is an additive process (add more "diverse" people) when really it's a subtractive process (remove the hostile people).
- New tech job perk: you get financial compensation every time you are the only woman in a meeting.
- Last night, I attended an event hosted by a company I’ve been interviewing with for the last few months. I was introduced to their Head of Program who, after a few drinks, told me that I’ll never be hired because I’m three kids in a trench coat.
