The road to Incidents is paved with Shoulds.

I need the β€œthis is fine” meme but with the dog’s eyes closed.

My news embargo has continued since Wednesday November 6th. I wish I had something to bring to the conversation, but my shields are set on maga.

In an environment growing as fast as yours, traffic expands like gas in a vacuumβ€”every improvement in your stack fills instantly, exposing the next bottleneck. Super fun!

That network is cursed.

It’s seriously so great. Great work!

I just got put in AS timeout on this short road trip because I went faster than it wanted? At 85? This is southern Arizona - you’re doing 90 or you’re doing 25 and there’s no in between.

I’m super interested in what’s the same or similar vs what problems and/or technologies are new enough to change the experience. I suspect it’s essentially the same experience :)

The emergency autosteer and emergency braking experiences are so jarring! Especially when wrong.

Seriously! It’s not an opt-in experience anymore.

It’s really incredible to watch this again. Honestly, I was starting to think this kind of community and excitement was old news. And, it’s still hard to scale this fast! 🀣
It’s the best!

YES! I’m so excited for them :)

When there’s time (not in an outage) I like to talk to about the before times when this design made sense.

β€œthis” being social media before that was a thing.

I LOVE this feeling and moment.

Got to do it twice with Livejournal and Twitter (also Fastly but if we did it right you didn’t notice) and I’m eating all the details.

Outages, massive user increase, feature degradation, fiber cuts, oh my!

This is the platform we wanted when we started this.

Baby Evacuation Aprons Today I learned about evacuation aprons, which places like maternity wards use to rescue infants and toddlers in case of emergency or fire. Or as this labor & delivery nurse on Threads put it: …the goal is to grab y

It finally happened: the Tesla FSD didn’t swerve or stop to avoid a Waymo making a bad left turn. I took over.

But I also honked? When does that behavior change? Either autonomous driving groks honking or I have to chill.

tl:dr is actually a pretty rude statement.

The biggest challenge I have about ADHD these days is remembering to take my meds :/

Leggings is just part of this - functional pleasure with no fashion fun joy.

From a woman’s fashion POV, will I ever feel the joy and comfort I got from wearing jeans under a dress that the 90s provided?

Some people don’t spend all their brain cycles thinking about how this could get worse and it shows.
