On the other hand, if you're still finding Discord inaccessible or unwelcoming because residual BIG GAMER ENERGY stink, I'd also love to hear from you. DM's open if you prefer!
I'm interested in how well Discord's March 2020 move away from BIG GAMER ENERGY is going. I want to hear about your favourite non-gamer Discord servers! Bonus points if they've been created in the new year since the Discord rebrand and revamped community tools. 💖RT for reach?

Relatedly, hey educator buds 👋 are you teaching programming fundamentals with Javascript or Python? Or teaching about developer tools/workflows like Git & GitHub? I would *love* to get your thoughts on TwilioQuest.
Want to use @TwilioQuest for events, workshops, or in the classroom? Teams & Operations just landed to make that super easy 👉 twilio.com/blog/lead-your-in…

Make no mistake: prominent people in tech like Jack Dorsey know all of this. Jack is smart, but he and a lot of other folks invested a lot in bitcoin and the only way they get anything out of it is that they keep enlisting gullible people into the scam.
Replying to @smdiehl
TLDR on bitcoin economics: It's a pyramid-shaped investment scheme backed by the collective delusion that value can created out of nothing by convincing greater fools to buy it after you do. (2/)

A bad analogy for my work tasks today: "hey please deliver the repainted car by tomorrow", but I do not have their car nor their address.

Alright let me be explicit: if you're a GitHub Star, at this point, I hope you're really examining the value of a relationship that has you generating goodwill for the company in exchange for...swag and early access features?
Apropos of nothing watch out for companies with VIP/champions/ambassador programs looking to launder their reputation with yours 😅

This isn't me being sassy either: these programs can improve people's career or monetary situation. It is not my place, especially as an ex-employee, to be on a high horse about it. Just please make sure you are getting that value back for what you give them.

Climate scientists have estimated that #Bitcoin emissions alone could push global warming above 2°C. And this is just one of *hundreds* of other cryptocurrency networks that run on this apocalyptically wasteful set of ideas. (14/) nature.com/articles/s41558-0…
