"Debugging infrastructure at scale is rarely about one big aha moment. It’s often the result of many small questions, small changes, and small wins stacked up until something clicks."
Wise words from @render's infra engineers, pondering the meaning of existence in a San Francisco commercial kitchen below.

So incredibly proud today to share that Render's achieved two milestones:
* 2 million developers have chosen Render to run their apps
* $80M in new capital raised to build the cloud for the AI era

I learn colleagues' names, especially if they're a different race than me. To be inclusive and combat the cross-race effect: the impression that people of a race other than your own “all look the same.” washingtonpost.com/nation/20… #BetterAllies #microaggression #worktwins

When I see someone taking actions to discredit someone's work, I push back. I talk/tweet/post about their accomplishments. I amplify their work. I mention what I learned from them.
And this week, I'm doing so for Dr. Katie Bouman. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/f… #Allyship #BetterAllies
Thanks for the Feedback is so great, I recommend it to my friends & colleagues all the time!

The secret is out about our new in-house #autoscaler, the #Clusterman. It has the magical ability to unify autoscaling resource requests for diverse workloads. Did we mention that it is now the de facto autoscaler at Yelp? Read on to find out more: bit.ly/2SNgMqf

Here are 4 subtle language shifts to be more inclusive:
💬 Say "folks" or "people," not "guys"
💬 Say “unusual” or “outrageous," not "nuts” or “crazy”
💬Use "them" instead of "him" or "her," even when referring to one person
💬 Say "partner," not "husband" or "wife"

"We invest in 120 companies. The fact that we invest in more Black women than the Sand Hill Road VCs with their billions of dollars is a disgusting indictment of VC." A word from @TheRealFreada @KaporCapital #DiversityAdvocates

DHS @SecNielsen must resign now. She's allowing Trump to ruthlessly hold vulnerable children hostage, to use them as bargaining chips. This is beyond morally reprehensible.
RETWEET if you also agree.

Shared an elevator with a women holding a rubber chicken purse. She explained she was going to a meeting, and I showed her my sloth-hugging-donuts socks because there is something important I have to get done. What are you bringing to make today delightful?
