Earlier today, one of our officers was shot while protecting our subway system. I am relieved to report he is in good condition now, and we have arrested the suspect who put so many lives in danger. I cannot thank these officers enough for their bravery.

The cool thing about having centrist democrats in charge is that they manage to win nobody over

I didn’t work on this directly, but I *did* make that dancing goose logo! Excited to see this milestone for SLSA 🥳

My sister-in-law is doing a fundraiser for the @TransLawCenter! 🏳️‍⚧️ We are in an era of unprecedented legislative attacks on trans people; there’s never been a better time to actively support and defend trans rights

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. I’m raising money for @TransLawCenter, which defends trans and gender non-conforming people nationwide fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/TLC2023/Tay… #RootedinResilience #TDOV



Someone has to explain to me how @noonasicecream can throw a giant Gluten Free sign on their pint but also sneak in barley and “contains: wheat” in the allergens because I’m pretty sure those don’t go together

Coolest moment of my career was a ~10 line fix that took a week to figure out, but fixed a 300% P99 typecheck latency regression

Some of your most talented people will spend a day to find the line of code/config/whatever that needs to change. They know many systems, their interactions, and how to understand what data they are/aren’t seeing to get to a conclusion. But sure, use lines of code as a metric.

Day 4 of trying to figure out if @NYCMayor is going to address reckless drivers in NYC or if he thinks Michael Bay’s Transformers series was a biopic and he’s afraid. @LincolnRestler got hit by a car on my bike on Dean and Hoyt, what’s the plan for maniacal SUV drivers?

Almost forgot to ask @NYCMayor if he has a plan for reckless drivers or if he was willfully lobotomized in his egotistical run for mayor

Day 2 of reminding @NYCMayor he’s a bum for shilling crypto instead of doing anything for bike safety and stopping reckless drivers. @LincolnRestler what is the plan for drivers who endanger cyclists?

A car stopped short in the intersection of Dean and Hoyt, so I ran into them on my bike and they promptly drove off. So today begins every day of me calling @NYCMayor a fuckin bozo. @LincolnRestler what are we doing about SUVs that drive recklessly?
