Every so often I remember shell’s line-continuation character “\” is “just” escaping the newline that comes next in the bytes and I lose some brain cells.

When you get called out by all your colleagues from @CockroachDB after a little Grand Theft Golf Cart… Except you were just the fall guy. 😂

Tech layoffs affect immigrants the most! 5–15% of the 100k+ layoffs are H-1B holders. In 60 days (30-45 in practice), they must find a new job or be deported from the US. Families who've been here 10+yrs are told "We don't need you anymore. Leave." 10+ tips to stay– 1/12

I guess Elon just wasn’t hardcore enough given TikTok beat him to releasing “Twitter 2.0” in the App Store…

Looks like Day 3 of @LGBTCenterNYC’s Cycle for the Cause ride to #EndAIDS goes right by @HillaryClinton’s town of Chappaqua… I wonder if she’ll come cheer us on? Riding 275 miles to raise money to fight HIV and AIDS seems pretty #Gutsy, don’t you think?

It's our quarterly Breather Week at @CockroachDB, in which engineers can take (meetingless!) time to work on projects or prototypes that have been bouncing around but not yet made into roadmaps. I think this is one of the coolest things we've got going on at the company.

Same. The thought of all the suffering the Ukrainian people are going through, and knowing that much of the world just does not care…

It's hard to steer without feedback, and while autonomous database are fascinating, we still need visibility to partner with our systems. @AlexTalks just merged an RFC to @CockroachDB for point-in-time views of locks and what's holding them. Cool stuff! github.com/cockroachdb/co…
