    A reminder that it DOES NOT MATTER if you hire more Black people if you don’t ALSO have the tools and culture to support them. They’ll either suffer through it until they find something better or, if they can, leave when they realize you care more about perception than people.

    RT @itseieio: At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens. A thread about my favorite story from running OMCB....

    RT @sarah_edo: A very subtle way to lose innovation and gatekeep is to only hire internally or from one’s own direct circles. So much innovation is thinking slightly differently, and paying attention to different perspectives.

    I think the greatest part of the @bigcashmoneyfam community has been seeing what people learn from each other. Routinely, we see the following: "I charge $X for Y" "I charge $2X for Y! You should ask for more" Asks for more Client doesn't bat an eye. 🤑

    RT @VilissaThompson: Does anyone have a BSL (British Sign Language) lead? My team has exhausted several avenues to retain a BSL interpreter for a pre-recorded interview for Mon., 5/20 at 10am-11am EST / 3pm-4pm UK. Please let me know if you know folks who can do that day, or another day in May.

    RT @MDarrik: I'm getting laid off at the end of May. I really need a safe place to land. I really enjoy developer experience/tooling work, I've also been working on e-commerce focused teams the past 3 years. Happy anywhere on the stack, remote preferred, US / Washington State based.

    Just got back from a week-long overseas trip that I took purely to visit a friend whom I’ve known for more than four years but had never met in person. 😂

    RT @jlengstorf: 5. we’re so focused on single owner metrics that devrel self sabotages companies get so focused on creating OKRs with single owners. devrel can’t realistically own things like top of funnel growth because too much is out of their control

    Jason’s body of work speaks for itself but, if I could add anything, I’d say his compassion, focus, and inventiveness make him one of the best people out there to help you get your web projects into more hands. Partner with him if you can!

    Anyone using Shopify able to help me figure how to ship to pickup points? Searching didn’t help and @ShopifySupport AI just keeps pointing me to a setting I don’t have. I’m guessing it’s only available to more expensive plans (and hoping I’m wrong)… 😬

    RT @jlengstorf: friends who know ML stuff: is there a way to passively listen to mic input for key phrases? use case: user allows mic input, then they can say things like "dashboard" or "dark mode" and that triggers an action, but all other audio is discarded, not sent to someone's cloud, etc.
