Last night I was at an event and was chatting w/ someone who’s also a software engineer.
When they said they were looking for jobs, I tried to empathize and said “I hate doing interviews”
To which they replied “it’s probably bc you suck at leetcode” 😐 – at San Francisco, CA

Good riddance. The subhuman treatment you’d get when you had to pick a middle seat showed the worst in society.
The last scheduled @SouthwestAir flight with open seating will be WN1791 from Honolulu to Los Angeles this evening.
And it is slated to be flown by N871HK – the 'Desert Gold' retro jet dedicated to the carrier's founder Herb Kelleher.
My interview question has always been prefaced by me saying “use any resources you’d normally use, let’s treat this like a real work environment”
So it’s evolved to.. if someone is using AI, I don’t mind. Walk me through it like we’re on a team.
Anyone work at Meta and can help me with a holiday miracle? My personal and flying Instagram got suspended and I’d like to have my appeal looked at
Want to stir up anyone at the Thanksgiving table? Ask them what they think of kids riding around on e-bikes.

We just started using a tool at Cash App to test deployed backend feature branches.
It’s taken the iteration loop from 10+ minutes to deploy a change and test it, down to… 10 seconds. Usually faster.
Actual witchcraft.
Excited to see @flyjsx looking to operate out of Santa Monica. It would be a win for tourism and travelers, at a time where the city could benefit from the revenue.
Write in to the city of Santa Monica expressing your support as they consider approval: votervoice.net/mobile/JSXAir…
