If you want to say "I've been coding since before all of you are born," remember that there are people out there still working who were coding before you were born. And if you are under 40, you just sound ignorant.

If you are tempted to call yourself out as "old", remember that there are plenty of people in the audience who are older than you, and you are effectively calling them old as well. Especially if you make a point of saying how you still "got it" even though you are old.

I think it is awesome that the technology industry is beginning to understand how it is riddled with systemic racism and misogyny and is starting to call it out. Based on the casual ageism I see in blogs or hear from conference stages or podcasts, we still have a long way to go.

the minute @Microsoft bought @Wunderlist, I switched to @todoist. I loved Wunderlist, but I knew that it's days would be numbered. Sadly almost always the fate when product gets acquired.

And yes, I know that buying a cable made by Apple at an Apple store are both dumb ideas. I was just walking by and realized, "oh right, I need a cable. I will just pop in and get one." 20 minutes later I staggered out…

Not exactly a hot take, but just stopped by the Apple store to buy a cable. Wow, do I miss a register. Having to track down the right Apple employee to give them too much money for something… Not exactly the luxe experience they aspire to.

It is very strange to think this is happening within walking distance of where I am right now.
