    Not knocking PMs here btw. The designer equivalent would be a person who would care for pixel perfection but does not understand what the actual problem was the design was supposed to solve.

    Watching Theresa May go through Brexit is like observing a new grad PM with zero self awareness try to hit a goal without any understanding as to why the goal needs to be hit in the first place.

    Could have written this with much less words: "We want to stay segregated." This is fucking abysmal.

    Reason four: I'm totally serious.

    Well this has been a super helpful thread to lose track of in the last 12 hours. Thanks to everyone who voted and replied. I'll try and see what happens. Otherwise, a fresh start in Sublime.

    Alright Twitter friends, what is the text editor / IDE of choice nowadays? Coming from Sublime Text. Wondering if I should continue. Mostly looking at React and Python work.

    Naomi has been nothing but graceful throughout this whole controversy. I'm a firm believer that all this attention will pay off going ahead. Also, if you haven't seen any previous interviews with her, go find some. It's pretty amazing.

    So there’s been a lot going on but I just want to say, I was grateful to have the opportunity to play on that stage yesterday. Thank you ❤️

    Well that's a stark difference, huh?

    Where would you rather live? This is the same block in Hayes Valley in 2009 and 2018. Building beautiful, mid-rise apartments like this -- on parking lots! -- should be easy. We're in a housing crisis because it's not.

    sometimes it's kinda nice to feel like an absolute idiot and have to turn on that "hey lets learn some completely new things" part of your brain (this tweet brought to you by the fine folks at and )

    This was me, and is an infuriatingly common story. 3 years after graduating and making my payments on time, I still owed the same amount. This default state is untenable.

    You can pay approx. $500 a month on a student loan and years later find that you owe more than you did when you graduated from college. Make that make sense.
