“Tell me about a time…” is a good style of interview question. I find it can often be quite revealing. For instance, “Tell me about a time you immanentized the eschaton” can say a lot about whether you’re actually Illuminati.

Very pleased to see that my zip code has hit 87.5% of the eligible population with at least one shot of a COVID vaccine. The trend line is encouraging, and LAUSD just announced a vaccine mandate for students 12+, which should continue to drive that number north.

Hard to overstate how much @IfeomaOzoma is doing to advocate for tech workers around the world.
This campaign is particularly exciting bc it engages shareholders, "who have a financial incentive to know if there is abuse happening at a company."

Okay, nerd confession… I’ve never seen the third Matrix movie because I hated the second one so much when I saw it in the theater.
Looks like I’m going to have to fix that.

I forgot to mention in my recent roadmap post:
Bridgetown 1.0 will require a minimum of Ruby 2.7, with a fast track to requiring 3.0 minimum for v2.
Ruby is improving at a surprisingly fast clip these days and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't take advantage of it!

So, I did finally get a VESA mount for my iPad Pro and it works great. Sadly, it’s not magnetic, but it holds well and it’s easy to pop the iPad in and out of. For now, I’m using Sidecar and using it as my Obsidian / Twitter / RSS screen. Hoping to try Universal Control too.
