More clearly: My role as a leader is to enable the success of others. This is often a difficult change in prioritization for folks that have worked hard to excel through their own accomplishments.
“Finding people who are genuinely invested in being able to enable the success of others—which is how I define leadership—is challenging.” - @azimman Have a listen: buff.ly/3zsWbIt

I feel like this is important.
I’m cropping these for privacy reasons/because I’m not trying to call out any one individual. These are all Lensa portraits where the mangled remains of an artist’s signature is still visible. That’s the remains of the signature of one of the multiple artists it stole from. A 🧵

Landfills and prisons are two great examples of how capitalism fails to achieve societal gains when siloed off from the rest of the system that makes them necessary.

Knives Out is a Thanksgiving movie because it’s got a primarily brown, cool-toned color palette, it takes place in fall and it’s about discovering just how racist your family can possibly be

so three things: 1. the @monktoberfest videos have dropped. all of them. 2. i can't think of a better way to open them up and celebrate the release than with our opening talk. 3. @amcasari and @juliaferraioli: thank you. you two are so so great, it was such a privilege.
This talk is so delightful. @amcasari and @juliaferraioli examine how some historic events (Morris Worm, Heartbleed, left-pad, fauxpen source licenses) shaped the open source landscape, and what we can do to strengthen OSS going forward. and they set it to song. 🔥

great and useful for 🧵 for anyone who's been caught up in recent layoffs
OK since "how to manage your emotions when you get terminated" is my area of expertise, let me drop a couple tips. 1) It's perfectly normal to be angry. Schedule a couple of bitch sessions with your former coworkers and friends, where you can wallow! But don't do it forever,

When your spouse asks you to pick up a white ceramic whale menorah at Target and you have to actually ask whether it’s for Hanukkah or Twitter social commentary. But why not both? “There were only enough microservices to last for one night, but they lasted for eight nights.”
