An AI Sonnet 2/3 In bytes and patterns wove, they craft the mind, An imitation of the human soul, And breathe into its core the sacred role Of solving riddles that remain confined.
An AI Sonnet. 1/3 Upon the stage of mankind's endless quest, A software sage, their artful fingers dance, To forge an engine born of circuits' trance, And guide the code to learn, to grow, to best.

An AI Sonnet 3/3 But lo, the irony in this design, The sculptor's hands fall prey to their creation, Their intellect consumed by their relation, As AI claims the mastery refined. Yet fear not, for the humble engineer, Will find new purpose in the dawn, austere.

Replying to @LastPass
@LastPass User since it was free. Family subscriber for many years. We overlooked the UI issues, the bugs in android, we forgave the previous hacks. Hiding your last breach behind the holidays and winter blast was too much. I am dead to you. @Bitwarden here we come. 1/2

Thanks to the many folks I follow who called out the risk, shared details, and offered advice on alternatives. Specifically @jacobriggs @BenVollmer @RealSexyCyborg who all shared info that helped.

I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives. The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing. Here are 6 graphs everyone needs to see:

20,699
2,760
66,529
The higher the density of people, the more I'm reminded that I really don't like people.
I am officially no longer the Engineering Manager for the Accessibility Experience Team at Twitter. I have words. 🧵

What advice would you give someone who's considering changing professions entirely? At 52 years old? After 20+ yrs in their current industry? #careeradvice #AskingForAFriend #HRCommunity

This is the type of curiosity that prevents me from deleting Twitter. I don't suffer from PD and I have no issues when wearing masks. Thanks to @RealSexyCyborg for throwing out some hypotheses and seeking additional data.
Well shit. I was going back to First Principles on masks, and I think I may have fallen for “it works for me” engineer syndrome. 🧵 1/18

As the former Commanding General of the Infantry Center at Fort Benning and Chief of Infantry, I know a bit about weapons. Let me state unequivocally — For all intents and purposes, the AR-15 and rifles like it are weapons of war. A thread:

often times i look at the skills and knowledge i've cultivated and feel like that moment when you play an RPG for the first time and realise you've built your character all wrong after finally figuring out how the game works

Who has leaked these announcements? 🤔
Any predictions on new #AWS services being launched at #reinvent? The cloud sharks are placing their bets next week! bit.ly/3c4DoKg

I am hiring right now. I have no job description of must haves written out. I don’t like the traditional way of hiring cause you lose great people just cause they don’t tick a particular box. We need to hire people. Tech can be learnt. Experience of course helps. But people first
