As we witness this free-fall just remember: he thought everything that is happening now would be _better for him_ than whatever would have come out in discovery if the lawsuit moved forward.

Elastic APM seamlessly surfaces the logs and metrics tied to application traces to speed up root cause analysis. Join @kjaymiller and Principal Software Engineer @basepi tomorrow as we take a look at how we can leverage Elastic APM in the Python space → go.es.io/3me6flg

My 19-year ride at American Greetings has come to a close. If you’d like to employ a 2-decade Python veteran, O’Reilly author, conference speaker/tutorial presenter, REST and security nerd, manager, mentor, and catalyst/culture hacker in CLE or remote, drop me a line!

How dare the surviving victims of our wilful privileging of guns over the lives of children confront us with the moral consequences of our blindly ideological decisions? xitter.gq/mmfa/status/9661354227…

ProTip: Set a calendar reminder for once a week. When it goes off, spend some time to think of someone in your community that does work you rely on. Send them a private note thanking them. Expect nothing in return.

Today, in a room full of kids, a brave young man stood up and, holding back emotion, told me he’s afraid to go to school. Then one by one the kids told of guns they’d seen at their schools. These kids think the “grown ups” running America are insane. I’m with the kids.

"If we ban guns they will just find another way." Then let them find another way. Let them try to kill dozens in a matter of minutes with a goddamn butter knife. Let them hurl stones. Let's force mass murders to get creative as hell. Because I'm tired of it being easy for them.

Radia Perlman told the perfect story about how engineers come up with solutions before understanding the problem: "When my son was 3, he came to me crying 'my hand! my hand!' I started kissing it. *mwah* *mwah* *mwah* 'Tell me what happened...' 'I got pee on it.'"

At @PayPal the first female hire was the 100th employee, because they asked "Are we hiring the best people we know?" At @Affirm a female was the 4th employee - they asked "Are we hiring the best people we DON'T know?" Lessons on conscious hiring from @mlevchin #StartupGrind
