It's rare to find openings for junior roles on teams that make a huge impact like this. If you know a great junior dev, pass it on!

My team drives the photo pipeline and has a new position open to early-career engineers (minimum 0-3 years of experience).
Whenever you see a “Shot on iPhone” billboard, you see our work; it could be your work too.🧵

The right's celebration over Jimmy Kimmel's censorship boils down to, "He was lying!" Kimmel shared an opinion. These people can't tell the difference between an opinion and a fact.

So did they deliberately time the filing to distract from the news they’re caving on the Twitter employee class action suit? Or am I falling into a 4D chess trap?
