The CEO of Live Nation — the parent company of TicketMaster — received $23.4 million in compensation last year.

Meanwhile, the median Live Nation employee was paid $28,207.

That’s a CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 833-to-1.

Monopoly power is terrible for everyone but rich CEOs.

Your boss, manager or client will never ask you to take time to refactor your code. They'll never ask you to set up a test suite for the code you wrote. They'll never ask you to upgrade your framework.

Do these things every day. Make them a part of your process. You don't need permission.

Reading this🧵? Your blood probably contains some amount of toxic made by

Without a blood test, you have no idea.

Why is their toxin running in your veins?

Well, 3M & kept the harms secret even as their toxins were incorporated into...everything.

From french fry bags to chairs.

They gaslit their own scientists.

If you do things differently enough from how other people do things you won't fall into the same traps they do. You'll fall into new and perhaps more interesting traps.

Attn: gay parents & children of gay parents

From my daughter:

Hi everyone! My name is Mika and I'm a 17-year old high school junior. I identify as gay myself and have two gay dads. I'm working on this high school project on the experience of being a child with gay parents and as of right now I'm my only resource! I'm really curious about the experience so if you (or your kids) could take a second to fill out my form! Completely anonymous don't feel like you have to give me any personal information.

I'm located around the SF area of California and I'm always down to chat if anyone else wants to share their experience or have kids around my age who might not know who to talk to! 🙂

@Mer__edith on the 🐦:

«This is incredibly dangerous. It lays the path for centralized, device-level client side scanning.

From detecting 'scams' it's a short step to "detecting patterns commonly associated w/ seeking reproductive care" or "commonly associated w/ providing LGBTQ resources" or "commonly associated with tech worker whistleblowing."»

Absolutely incredible to me how much faster and more effective it is for me to rip an entire site down with wget --mirror and search it with grep to find anything than it is for me to use Google for any goddamn thing now. Datacenters full of hardware running thousands of PhD-theses worth of high performing hardware versus me sitting here banging rocks together and my way works.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

I'm writing a longer (as it seems) article on the lock-in effect of solutions like that are using open formats like for storage. The file format is not the only thing that might lock you in.

I did already start with a list of arguments but also want to collect your ideas so that I don't forget a good argument.

Please, no emotions, just facts and objective arguments.

Reply here in this thread and I'll collect ideas from it. 🙇

Some people think scalability is the biggest challenge in tech. Some think it’s data privacy.

I think the biggest challenge in tech is the constant internal battle between ideals and a fat pay check.

I think we need to talk more explicitly about why we're settling on "safety" as the term we are pursuing. As a manager, I've been trying to reconcile that term with some of the real expectations and pressures of the workplace. I don't think we are doing enough to create clarity. And I worry instead that talking about "safety" is creating unrealistic expectations.

I'll just go ahead and say what I feel about the current state of the engineering discipline. The industry has grown too fast due to high demand. We never had great structures for actually teaching people. But now we have a huge influx of people who haven't really been taught anything. They're just piecing things together and winging it. With software specifically, that's not the worst thing. This medium can tolerate a lot of mistakes. But eventually the impacts do start to show.

The Jetpack Compose compiler is moving to the Kotlin repository with the upcoming release of Kotlin 2.0!

There will be a matching Compose compiler with each Kotlin release, so you won't have to wait to upgrade the Kotlin version in your Compose app → https://goo.gle/3QnPCC8

America's 813 billionaires now collectively hold a record $5.8 trillion.

That’s more than the wealth of the entire bottom half of the US, roughly 65 million households.

It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of wealth concentration to continue.

Hey, fellow San Francisco tech workers. Is this what you want people to think of you? Is this how you think of other people? No? Then make sure you’re against these assholes, and think twice about voting for anyone they’ve funded.

I generally follow the rule. Duplicate code until you have at least three examples. Then you can generalise.
So many times if you dedupe code which appears in two places that at first looks like the same code you later realise it is different behaviour and make the "general" function much more complex.
