Worked for an NFP. Can confirm. Except that one DB that was an Access DB. Special feature: it had a table for the days of the week.

every developer should work for a nonprofit at some point in their career just so they become amazing at parsing CSVs, because from what I can tell, all nonprofits are just a stack of spreadsheets in a trench coat

Replying to @kateconger
In a follow up email, Musk encouraged people to fly to SF for this.

I don’t get all the hate for the Twitter 2.0 email, I’ve always done my best when working 80 hours a week for a man child who has no clear goals and screams “MORE HARDCORE” whenever a clarifying question is asked. That’s when I really thrive.

The Venn diagram of Elon Musk stans and talented, capable engineers does not overlap.

I’m not sure if I’d be comfortable driving a Tesla, what if 80% of its parts are deemed unnecessary? 🫣 “I see you haven’t used the airbag in quite some time”

Writing more GraphQL queries that talk to microservices today because I just know it would piss @elonmusk right off.

The Rails Foundation (rubyonrails.org/2022/11/14/t…) blatantly ignores that things like @gorails exists. This paragraph around "a question of documentation" is the most hand-waviest shit I've seen in a long while.

I’d give a million dollars divided out to: - regional RUBY conferences, outside of US - organisations such as RailsGirls, WomenWhoCode, etc. - organisations such as GoRails - start an apprenticeship program to train juniors and pay for their placement at companies

I’d use data from the apprenticeship program to find holes in how people learn Rails and then ask volunteers to help come fix them up. If they’re writing guides, I’d pay them from the fund at a per-published-word rate ($2-3 a word)
