My lower left eyelid has been twitching nonstop since Opus 5.5 came out. Good to know some part of me is keeping up.

🤓I’ve done a few big, incremental migrations in my career. This one was the most fun and rewarding. The key was having a great team to pull it off.
When @Betterment wanted to shift their strategy to a mobile-first approach, they turned to #Flutter to share their codebase across iOS and Android, which allowed them to achieve 100% feature parity across both platforms. youtube.com/watch?v=1J3B-xao…

People are starting to say Elon Musk isn't actually a real engineer. But he definitely said "I don't know why people think Twitter is so complicated. I could fix it in like a weekend." And then proceeded to fuck everything up. That's exactly like an engineer.

If you think @elonmusk has a plan for Twitter, you've never been addicted to it. A high roller just bought the casino. Of course he disdains the staff for stopping people from counting cards. Of course he's turning off the security cameras! He hates the house for always winning!

Of the 4 most populous states, the two Dem-run ones (CA + NY) are using independent or court maps. The two GOP-run ones (FL + TX) are using maps strongly gerrymandered by the GOP. The House majority right there.

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

As Twitter perhaps nears its end, thinking back to the early days when it genuinely did Good. The below tweet helped the Red Cross negotiate a ceasefire - and an evacuation of the wounded from the Wat Pathum temple - during the violent Bangkok protests in 2010…
Please RT. People around me are dying because they can't get to hospital across the road because of fighting #bang http://twitpic.com/1p51ix

In Maricopa County, Arizona, election workers are working 14-18 hour days counting ballots. They are working through the Veterans Day holiday. Do NOT let anyone tell you election workers are anything other than devoted public servants and guardians of our democracy. 🇺🇸

So the Democrats won statewide with 51% of the vote and earned 30% of the state house. Can someone explain to me how Wisconsin is a democracy? – at Queens, NY

Evidence-driven, not data-driven. Data (as the term is commonly used in modern business) is only one form of evidence.

Spreadsheets, JSON files, DNS zones, senior engineers; you can draw whatever semantic distinctions you’d like, but to me they’re all databases.

My friend @Victorshi2020 kept beating the drum that Gen Z turnout would shock the hell out of people in this election. He was absolutely right.

Someone else who deserves props for his work leading up to yesterday is @Taniel. There were a number of key sheriff/prosecutors races that flipped yesterday. He has been relentless at focusing national attention on these local races.
Replying to @Taniel
We published this interview earlier this year with the secretary of the pardons board in Pennsylvania. (She was appointed by Fetterman, who as LG chaired the board). Please do read it to learn about why this is all so important. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania-pa…
