I remember all the bizdev people going to GDC and devs only going if they were talking or volunteering.

Started a new gig this week! I’ll be supporting @deadlydelivery.bsky.social for their beta tests, launch, and afterwards! Super excited to just be on GOBLIN MODE! all the time 😄

Also, to the inaccessibility point: I think this website is broken (I have kids in Phase I). Got to the point of selecting a time and it stalled out and gave an error.

Honestly I kinda think that's by design? Russia makes sure Trump gets in and causes maximum chaos internally and ties up the US military so they can't get involved in whatever Russia's planning.

Being a CM isn't easy. It can involve navigating toxicity and a minefield of potential miscommunication. In an industry where everyone's trying to be everywhere at once, gain the tools to keep yourself and others safe online. 💚

Yessssss. I straight up unfollowed someone because they retweeted the same post over and over. I wish I could have just ignored their retweets instead.

This morning LinkedIn showed me yet another "here's how a billionaire gets ready for the day" post. Heck that, we shouldn't aspire to be billionaires, we do not need any more billionaires. Show me how someone who is making a positive difference in the world spends their morning.

I've heard elsewhere that it's funny math too. ie. If, say, 400 new EAs would have been hired anyways due to turnover, etc., those count towards the total because they're "new" (even though the positions are not new).

Oh no… what an absolute loss. I had so much respect for him. I can’t imagine how awful it must be for his family to lose him so suddenly.

There is some WILD SHIT about this story from someone local to the area on reddit. The family seems to be quite the grifters and are doing all of this to rake in donations.

Well… yes and no. I’ve had to walk some previous coworkers through IPD settings because they didn’t read the instructions, and their motion sickness improved after that. And lots of people don’t read the instructions. (I do wish more games were teleport-friendly though.)

Man, being pregnant is hard enough without getting grief over taking one of the few drugs proven safe in pregnancy.
