    Remember when I announced I was writing a book about observability? Well, I wasn't able to achieve my original vision, but I realized I'd made some valuable content, so here it is, for free.

    OPay is an interesting product. No UI or UX (or rather, just brutalist). They have the worst YouTube ads I've seen. Other brands dream up storytelling, music, visuals. Theirs is just a literal screenshot of the app. And yet...you can't beat a product that just works.

    *taps mic* Is this thing on? Okay, um... Just here to share that I just got my first official promotion. You may now refer to me as "Senior Software Engineer". 😊

    Omo. Have to use a Mac for work, and it's making me appreciate Windows even more. WTF is this?

    Man, UI design is so hard. You spend a lot of time thinking about tiny details (like what shade of purple to use here vs there) that won't be noticed by anyone, yet will make their experience much smoother.

    One unexpected benefit of Twitter is seeing tech founders and CEOs' takes about employment and hiring and recognising who you'd be miserable working for.

    This was one of my fun job applications. Didn't work out, but I liked the interaction.

    Everyone needs someone that can be there for them. Picking them up at the airport. Waiting for them when they come out of surgery. You can go it alone, but you shouldn't have to.

    Seriously, the chances of lifting your family out of poverty while trying to secure your own future are slim.😓

    Every month I spend around $75 on @/this_vid. Every month it makes around $1000.

    A counter to daily standups I've used often is: Work takes time. Yes, I'm working on the same thing I was on yesterday. I'm not blocked. There are no problems. It's just how work is. I need time to do my work well. Telling you that I'm still working on it won't speed it up.
