Everyone complaining about Parler has clearly never been an app developer. I've published apps at two startups, plus the Android team at Google. The Play Store and App Store suspend and reject apps ALL the time. Once I was rejected over a user-posted Disney GIF in screenshots.

These companies are providing a legally fraught service. Their TOS is insane. They can suspend your app because it's Tuesday. Suspension over your users inciting violent insurrection seems reasonable to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe we should send the Portland and Seattle police to reinforce the Capitol building.

@bmoraski Is this you? I literally woke up to cheering/honking this morning across the street thanks to you! Thanks for making our neighborhood awesome 🤗 crosscut.com/politics/2020/1…
Seattle celebrates Biden win, end of the Trump presidency

Seattle celebrates Biden win, end of the Trump presidency

After days of counting, all major news organizations called the race for the former vice president. Supporters responded with relief and excitement.

I'm looking for new maintainers or owners for Groupie (github.com/lisawray/groupie). @ValCanBuild has been graciously maintaining it for the last year, but both of us need to step away. Please shout if you are interested, or have advice on the best way to go forward!

I'm NOT looking for a new job in tech, and I'm also not speaking for the immediate future. For starters, I'm taking a year off...

First up: I'm writing a novel! I've wanted to do this since 2003, when I turned down a creative writing program to attend MIT. I can't wait to revisit this tweet in a year when I am surely rich and famous.

As of today I'm no longer at Facebook. This was purely a personal decision and I'm especially grateful to the Messenger and Messenger Lite team & Android core eng. I'm proud of our work to connect people over the last 2yrs.

Hey, I'm no longer a GDE. It wasn't a good fit for my level of outreach atm. Amazing program that let me meet 100s of Android experts in & outside Google from all over the world who are still great friends. Much love to all!

Missing the relaxing sound of hail on a tin roof, or horses stampeding, or maybe a Dumpster being emptied? Then remote pair programming with a coworker with a Cherry keyboard is for you

Happy Daylight Savings time! I'm the team oncall this week and I was just greeted by a failing time-related test that's off by exactly 1 hour. 🤔

I'm helping with a hackathon this weekend for the first time in *years* (shout out @TechTogetherBos, amazing to see 500 women coding together!) and it's been such a refreshing break from my normal schedule of depression, doubt, and self-deprecation

Most of the Android developers are beginners (as you would expect) so answering their questions is easy, but they are SO IMPRESSED with me. Most days, absolutely no one at work is impressed with me except maybe the recruiting team lol

Will henceforth be devoting my life to delivering the Book of Good News to my fellow Facebook employees (aka Effective Kotlin by @marcinmoskala)

I'm speaking at 11:45 at @droidconUK about making small apps with big impact. My session is called "The Light Way". After that, I'll be at the Facebook booth from 1:45-3:45 taking questions or just chatting. Come say hi!

It's 1 day before @droidconUK ... excited to talk about my team's app Messenger Lite and how we keep it small. Missing all my friends at #AndroidDevSummit, but hope to meet both an old & new crew of European devs & speakers!

As always, loved @androidstudio tips by @yogurtearl at #DCNYC19. Android Studio has been my favorite productivity tool since 2014 -- I'm so happy I'm able to use it at Facebook lately!

Awesome talk on API design by @Strongolopolis at #DCNYC19. I don't even play videogames, but his delight talking about them just lights up the analogy. Highly recommend!
