A friend recently asked me why I don't post on social media as much anymore. There are many reasons, but to put it simply, it just doesn't bring me joy anymore. I miss the old Twitter. I miss how relevant my 'For You' page was and I miss the safety that came with proper moderation. Before I post, I always ask myself, "Is this something I'm willing to argue about?" The older I get, the less I want to argue with strangers on the internet.
this got talked about a lot when I worked on google maps.
I would personally love this feature, and it’s technically feasible.
here’s why I fought it loudly every time it came up
🧵
Let’s do this. As I’ve said in the past, nothing makes a statement on important news close to the newspaper front page. Across America, almost every editor went with the simple fact, “Guilty.”
Let’s start with the biggest circulation. /1
I know someone who’s been out of frontend for awhile but is trying to kinda … catch back up, in a sense, and is actively looking for a senior/staff role doing things more frontend.
Any resources you’d recommend / frameworks they should pick up / open roles?
This is gonna pull all the bots I fear, but:
I’m looking for someone who’s a general authority on the state of AI today, who’d be open to talking with a research compliance director at a large educational institution. (Con’t)
They have researchers who are proposing use of AI tools and the IRB is looking to better understand the landscape and terminology around AI, so that they can be open to use of appropriate tools while keeping guard rails in place and keeping things ethical.
I know this is somewhat vague, but they’re not looking for information on any one specific tool so much as to better understand what’s out there and how to think about such requests.
If you are this person, or know someone who could be, please reach out.
Thanks. 😊
Can we talk about how Microsoft made one of the best kid swag designs ever and then @shanselman helped me in my quest to have them made in adult sizes and now they're available and you should buy them??? microsoftmerchandise.com/Sho…

ALT A comic with someone answering math on a whiteboard in a classroom. He needs to solve 3 times 4. He looks back to find the answer. One of the other students writes 12! on a sign to help him out. The guy at the front turns back to the board and writes 479,001,600
Reminded of the time that I basically snapped at a CTO that our bar for “hateful content” was “too fucking low”
Also acknowledging that as someone with a cishet male presentation who is white, privilege enabled me to do so much more safely
