What I Didn't Tweet in March
-
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing so many people that he needs an advocate.
-
The Gutter Prayer is a damn good read.
-
At this point I think we all know that Trump, Kushner, and their cronies are going to be America’s Philby, Burgess, and Maclean. The big difference will be that this lot betrayed their country out of greed, not out of conviction.
-
This is what the “free market” looks like up close: billionaires getting rules rewritten to make themselves richer at everyone else’s expense.
-
“The true purpose of unpaid internships is to turn private wealth into professional credentials.”—Sarah Kendzior. (I hope that one day there will be a movement to ask companies to sign a public pledge requiring candidates to scrub all unpaid internships from their CVs when applying for jobs.)

This is so close to Browsercast. We’ll get there some day…
-
I really want someone to make earbuds that clip onto the arms of my glasses so I don’t have to jam them in my ears to keep them in place.
-
Half of the children in my daughter’s grade 6 class believe that vaccines cause autism :-( I wish I could make a Venn diagram about it as biting as the one that Dr. Jennifer Gunter tweeted.

Fringe was a better show than we deserved.

I would really like it if every publisher had a clear statement on its website saying whether or not they’re willing to publish material under a Creative Commons license. (I asked someone at Manning, and they thought it meant they’d have to give the material away for free. I asked someone at Packt, and they refused to answer the question unless I signed up with them first.)
-
1912 taught me a lot I didn’t know that seems pretty relevant today. Also, anyone who really believed in a free market would have broken up Amazon under anti-monopoly laws long ago.
-
“Dude, I kind of want to camp out until the anvils start falling” is not an unusual statement in our house.
-
My to-read list is down to 109 papers and a 900-page book.
-
Our prime minister may be just another corrupt hack, but I’m still proud to be Canadian.
-
Except when we do racist crap like this.
-
Just registered for ICSE 2019. The form asked me to pick 2–3 areas of interest out of 15; “education” wasn’t one of the options, which pretty much sums up what I consider to be the root cause of a lot of software engineering problems.
-
I appreciate praise, but honestly, I think I’m more of a cautionary tale.
