In 25 years of leadership, the words 'calm down' have never helped. True leaders inspire, they don't demand. Coaching style is about guiding, not dictating. What's your leadership approach? #salem #salemor #womenleaders #LeadershipTips #Coaching #Management

Why keep properties private? Getters and setters expose them for use and manipulation, ensuring control and clarity. #ProgrammingTips #SoftwareDevelopment #salem #salemor #womeninstem #nonprofit

Does digital memory last forever? Unlike human long-term memory, computer 'memory' is more like short-term. Data isn't stored indefinitely; it's transient, like thoughts processed in the moment.

Debugging takes hours because logging is treated as an afterthought. Strategic logging cuts that time by 80%. It's not about more logs—it's about the right logs. #DevTips #CodeQuality

Ever confused arrays and dictionaries? An array is a list of values you access by index (like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Dictionaries use 'keys' instead of indices. #Programming #DataStructures

WOW... JUST WOW...
In order to justify invoking the insurrection act in Portland, Oregon, trump faked a riot with professional videographers, the military and hired extras.

Spend a decent amount of time playing with Claude Code and codex in the terminal last night - even wiring up some MCP servers - and they didn't all crash this time.
The technology has progressed quite a bit.

Microsoft just announced a round of layoffs to the tune of 9,000 Americans, yet petitioned for 6300 H1-Bs.
But yeah, it's the "job market"
1 Jul 2025
WHOA.
6,327 H-1B visa requests!!!
That’s what Microsoft filed for software engineer roles in Washington…
Yes, that is the same month it laid off 2,300 workers in the state... including 817 software engineers.
Same jobs.
Same location.
Lower pay.
Is this really about a “skills gap”?
- 14,181 total foreign labor requests this year
- 82% below market wage
- Routed through Integreon (India) Pvt Ltd
- $3B invested in India
- 10M workers being trained in AI
Is this a labor arbitrage machine on autopilot?

I think it's time to start considering boycotting @Microsoft products, including their AI initiatives. These layoffs are unnecessary, purposefully hurting the organization, our industry, and our society as a whole.

Been watching Ironheart this lazy Sunday. Why people complaining? I think it’s really good!

Insurrectionists hunt Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi to kill them... pardoned.
Senior citizens in wheelchairs protest Republican Medicaid cuts... zip tied and arrested.
