If you're looking for an explanation of what's happening at Google with the current layoffs, just watch this video. Steve Jobs' reflections about what happened at Apple provide the best explanation. It's something you'll encounter in all corporate companies.

‘Trump said he would “absolutely” consider pardoning every person who had been convicted on, or pleaded guilty to, charges related to the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6. He also would not rule out the possibility of political violence after this year’s election.’

Was just reminded that you can use *no* headings in a web page and automated tests will pass you for WCAG compliance.
You can't use the wrong heading structure if you use no headings at all! Automated tests can't tell where the structure needs to be broken up into sections because they would have to understand the nature of the content. #a11y

@sarahhbickerton I miss feeling that technology was, if not on my side, at least not actively working against me and my interests.

One thing I have learned in 10 years of tech lead roles is that you don't always need to lead by proposing solutions or explaining why certain choices are better.
You just need to help others see the big picture. Often they can then make good technical decisions themselves.

Larger problems reared up on a family road trip to Ohio for Thanksgiving. After a warning light randomly popped up on the main screen, apps kept crashing before the display blacked out altogether. With the system bricked, no settings could be changed for the 600-mile drive back to Des Moines, not even the SiriusXM channel, which was stuck on 1990s radio. “My 4-year-old is now very well-versed in my music taste,” says Waldron, who depended on his iPhone planted in the cup holder for the rest of the journey.
Once home, Waldron’s Blazer went to the dealership where it stayed for a month as technicians tried to diagnose the glitches. He wasn’t alone: Press reviewers and numerous customers ran into major software failures and vehicle faults, forcing GM to ground the vehicle and halt all sales starting in December. As the weeks dragged on at the shop, a service rep asked Waldron if there was anything he could do to make the situation right. “I said, ‘Well, you could put CarPlay back in it,’ ” Waldron recalls. “The guy was laughing and said, ‘I have a feeling I’m going to be hearing a lot of that.’ ”][7] ([remote][8])

High praise from @bcantrill on the work the Valkey community is doing, and a hat-tip to the work we did to extricate ourselves from Oracle so many years ago in the Jenkins community 🤗

Apparently I'm having a double runniversary: tracked 800 activities in RunKeeper which neatly coincided with 5000 miles.
I still can't run like I used to, due to a variety of pains. But I'm glad to be able to log regular 3-milers nonetheless.
