Anxiety tip: Next time you cringe over some embarrassing moment you had years ago try to remember other people's embarrassing moments. You can’t can you? That’s because you’re the only embarrassing human to exist, everyone else is always thinking about how cringey you are.

He wants to brag about Hotwire, and I'm not going to name drop like he did, but he drove the person who ACTUALLY BUILT (most of) IT out of the Rails community, as well as 1/3 of his team at Basecamp.
This isn't politics, this is his influence on the Rails community.

So weird that "Downing Street apologised to Buckingham Palace". No people involved. Just a street apologising to a palace.

We have had a fabulous day planting over 500 trees with @co_forestuk! After two years of waiting, we are so pleased to see this project get its roots in the ground. Thank you so much to the other pledgers and planters for helping it come to life 🌱

in some ways this latest COVID wave feels the most depressing, as it's genuinely hard to tell what we're even reaching for anymore. everything feels simultaneously accessible and irresponsible, and you don't feel 100% good about any choice

A little reminder that 'iteration' probably describes what you are doing in your team far better than 'sprint' does 😀
I am really pleased that we have replaced the term 'sprint' with 'iteration' at @unmadeworks (because we are iterating not sprinting)
Props to @whatkatiedoes and @jazlalli1 for making this change

“Be the senior you needed as a junior” saw this quote a few weeks back and it’s really stuck.
