To fight Zoom fatigue, give people the freedom to turn their cameras off. New experiment: videos off reduces exhaustion and boosts engagement—especially for women and newcomers. Cameras off doesn't reflect disengagement. It helps to prevent burnout and promote attention.

I want to live in a country where majority rules. That’s not 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. That’s not an electoral college overriding the popular vote. That’s not gerrymandering to rejigger demographic composition. That’s not denying voter rights to falsify the people’s will

Actually good, major climate news: today New York City is announcing its public pensions are fully divesting out of the fossil fuel industry and into renewables & climate - a massive shift of about $50 billion. 🌎 This move is led by NYC workers. Here’s why this is a big deal.⤵️

Or as I say somewhat often: "Manage the humans in front of you." You can't manage the team you wish you had. You can't manage the way you want to be managed. You have to manage the people on your team the way they want and need to be managed and supported.

Here's the deck from my talk today at DevRelCon: managing your first team. If you missed it, you can catch up on the notes, and I'm always interested to hear your thoughts, additions, and bones of contention: docs.google.com/presentation/d…

The Infrastructure Bill is a good first step, but we need #BuildBackBetter to really make a dent in emissions. Check out the data from REPEAT (Princeton ZERO lab) and share with your MOC! Thanks to @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social for advocating for it 🙏

.President Donald J. Trump Joe Biden & US Department of the Interior Secretary Deb Haaland please stop Wednesday's lease sale of 80 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico for drilling! Less than 1 week after #COP26 , we shouldn't be moving ahead w/ the largest fossil fuel lease sale in US history! Watch & share this video ⤵️

In light of the draft of a leaked majority Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, I want to call your attention to the people that would be impacted most by the end of legalized abortion across the United States. đź§µ:

Fossil fuel companies gouge gas prices and what do they get? President Donald J. Trump rewards them with a $10b tax break. These companies have made $100b since Jan, directly stealing from all of us. We need a windfall profits tax. Policy should help people, not corporations.

This is a super overdue personal item — I'm working through my first HashiCorp #Terraform provider... for Pinecone 🥲. Side note: Pinecone API Docs are exquisite AF 👩‍🍳💋.

As a proud sponsor of BigANN, Pinecone couldn't officially compete– but we can't resist a challenge. See how our algorithms stack up across the BigANN tracks, outperforming the winners by up to 2x: hubs.ly/Q02g9--Z0
