First date with my now wife when I was 18: Lunch went well so I suggested we see a movie on a whim. This predated cell phone popularity so we just showed up at the theater and took our chances. Only thing showing for hours was “Bride of Chucky”

We saw meaningful and higher than expected performance gains when using the after_reply pattern at GitHub for even seemingly fast things like logging all the metrics we record during a request. Hat tip to Blake Williams for adding after_reply to Unicorn 🦄

Good advice from Denise. When reviewing hundreds of applications, the truth is that I start by looking for reasons to reject quickly. If you didn’t spend much effort applying I’m not going to spend much effort reviewing.

I don’t care about the Oscars, but I hope I get to watch a dramatization of the last 30 minutes of this year’s show, written by Aaron Sorkin. Give me some good control room drama. TV execs being wakened from their beds.

Serena Williams is the type of great that makes you watch a sport you otherwise wouldn’t just so you can appreciate excellence. A true GOAT in a time when that term is thrown around too easily.
