1/ So great, thanks @Eli_White for the being open and honest about how hard it is to build a platform. You prioritized dog fooding and taking the raw/hash feedback about performance and addressing was the right move. Here's why i'm bullish on RN...
2/ Companies that are focused on Apps&Products have to do dev gymnastics to ship anything across the matrix of platforms. It's slow and bad for our entire industry.
3/ The ratio of companies that are focused on Apps&Products vs platforms is 25,000,000:2. Apple and Google being the 2. And they don't care enough about our pains in App land and instead favour their platform winning over developers solving problems quickly for the planet.

1/ Compared to web, mobile CI/CD has been in the dark ages. Waiting 15+ minutes for builds, testing PRs hard, and complex app-store submission. But the amazing team of @sanderlijbrink @pepibumur @markrcote @Alexrs95 fixed this for @ShopifyEng. Let me share the story...
2/ Like for web apps, each mobile commit has its own dedicated @buildkite build and to speed up CI build artifacts are shared between parallel testing steps. This takes developer machines and gives us fast and reproducible environments. More later on what this enables.
3/ iOS automation can be particularly tricky. Using a cluster of Mac minis in MacStadium and Anka virtualization, we provide disposable macOS environments to build our iOS apps in a fast and reproducible way. Read more in engineering.shopify.com/blogs/engineer…

Has anyone put in place a structured training program for software developers and data to support that it helped prevent basic preventable quality issues?
Most other professions where quality issues result in deaths have improved with training and made mandatory.
For example after a lot of deaths in blue water sailing races that were preventable they instituted a ocean survival course.

#BlackFriday is coming up and if #KamalaHarris was POTUS & I would have her $500 #LIFTAct monthly cash out to shop with! Here's how I would spend it ⬇️.

How would you spend your $500 from #Kamala? Tweet your 3 things plus the graphic & hashtags! #KHive #ShoppingIsOnTheBallot
PS- To get #KamalaHarris to the White House so we can get these $500/month #LIFTAct cash outs we gotta chip in! I'd say $5 now for $500/month is a great return on your investment! #Kamala2020 #KHive #ShoppingIsOnTheBallot
Chip in 💰:

I need 4 new tires but my Black card wouldn't permit me to post a pic of 4 rimless tires 😂🤦🏾‍♀️. The rest of my #KamalaHarris $500 #LIFTAct covers turtlenecks & the digital Friday (I own the DVD of course). #KHive #Kamala #ShoppingIsOnTheBallot #BlackFriday

What do you sell, O merchants?
Richly your wares are displayed.
Turbans of crimson and silver,
Tunics of purple brocade,
Mirrors with panels of amber,
Daggers with handles of jade.
What do you weigh, O ye vendors?
Saffron, lentil and rice.
What do you grind, O ye maidens?
Sandalwood, henna and spice.
What do you call, O ye pedlars?
Chessmen and ivory dice.
What do you make,O ye goldsmiths?
Wristlet and anklet and ring,
Bells for the feet of blue pigeons,
Frail as a dragonfly's wing,
Girdles of gold for the dancers,
Scabbards of gold for the kings.
What do you cry, O fruitmen?
Citron, pomegranate and plum.
What do you play, O ye musicians?
Sitar, Sarangi and drum.
What do you chant, O magicians?
Spells for the aeons to come.

#BlackFriday in Zimbabwe 1997: a #thread
1/The late 1990s were a difficult time in the country due to a changing economy, increasing civil unrest and the beginnings of an unsustainably inflationary environment.
@zenzele @Wamagaisa @happ_zenge
2/As a percentage of Gross Domestic Income, the share of wages had dropped from 57% in 1987 to 39% in 1997, while the ratio of profit increased from 47% to 61% during the same period. Inflation increased from 11.6% in 1985 to 32.6% in 1996, falling to 25% by 1997.
3/Real wages had fallen by nearly 25% and employment growth declined from an index of 2.4 to 1.5. Poverty levels had increased from 40.4% in 1990/91 to 63% in 1996. By November 1997, nearly 100 job actions had taken place in the country.

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.

#b 'Teknik menjawab' is not a series of rituals that you carry out to secure an A in the exam. You don't get guaranteed an A just through superficial actions like highlighting keywords or drawing meniscus or inserting isi tersirat.
The problem is students and teachers treat teknik menjawab as some sort of pseudo magical ritualistic gestures that will bring a certain outcome. Draw a pentagram, slaughter a chicken, and your wish will be granted.
Some remote Pacific Islanders in 1940s came in contact with Allied and Japanese soldiers who were more technologically advanced and thought the soldiers were gods who had many "cargo" (canned food, electronics, modern stuff)
