Devs are the engine of "dig transformation", leaders must shift thinking towards ..."Retaining top talent requires an environment where developers are treated like innovators, not code writers, and are active participants in the business." zdnet.com/article/time-to-re…

"Seed Corn Must Not Be Ground" final lithograph of Käthe Kollwitz, 1942. The death of her son in battle in 1914 profoundly affected the artist, who expressed her grief by creating many prints on the theme of mothers protecting their children from the horrors of war #WomensArt

💔If you have a team or colleague in Europe, reach out. My team in Poland in 2014 taught me so much about the regional interplay and their own personal history. If you work in tech remember there are 200k developers in Ukraine. Praying for them and the world today.

Beware, your heart may just melt at the very sight of this adorable Newfie mix named Oswald. 😍 Oswald's favorite things are treats and baby talk. Our favorite things about Oswald are his tiny little salt & pepper toes, and his whole body wiggles. Adopt: kitsap-humane.org/adopt/avai…

On MLK Day I reflect on the 1963 "I have a dream speech". His unpopular post '63 and loud voice on income equality, voter rights, poverty, justice, war and socialism were his real legacy. #MLKDay2022
Your annual reminder that Dr. King believed in guaranteed universal basic income that gave all people a dignified life, guaranteed housing for all, guaranteed access to a high quality education, & said that “no one should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury.”

I needed this! TL;DR- house collapse last week and dogs presumed dead. Found alive!!

2400 block of Perkins Ln W: Firefighters found the dog alive and in stable condition!

Oh my gosh. Fingers crossed for a miracle. This house is in next neighborhood over and assumed dogs were crushed in collapse days ago . #uglydogs 🙏🏽
Crews are on scene at the 2400 block of Perkins Ln W to investigate reports of the lost dog found trapped within the home impacted by last week’s landslide. Please avoid the area.
Love dogs? Please consider reading and donating to this professional dog sled team dealing with the aftermath of a horrible human who caused a horrible accident.
Replying to @QuinceMountain
These dogs are his family. (And they’re the family of our dogs’ family, so I take this rather personally.) duluthnewstribune.com/news/7…

I love this thread @norootcause. It’s a great guide to how to think about a career, or career change to CS. It is about problem solving and autonomy and that is why it’s so cool. @shanselman @ashtom
As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career. How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader. 🧵 1/

Last minute gift! Highly recommended this organization (high quality use of non profit $) and the tweets bring me joy all year @SheldrickTrust
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even... an elephant! We're bedding down but if you need a #lastminutegift, adopt an orphan & help their dreams of a wild life come true: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/c…

1/People are asking why at conferences like #MSIgnite, we do a description of ourselves (I’m an Asian woman wearing a floral dress etc). It’s to create an equitable experience for blind/low-vision folk or those who aren’t looking at the screen.

Dashed back from Italy just in time for… #DomesticDude’s hands-on cooking class for a Roman dinner feast: capresece salad, carbonara & cheesecake! Thank you @MerrieW & Derek for being my table companions. We learned things, everyone had fun, nothing burned down, yay 💁🏽‍♀️
