Hey @monkchips@twitter.com πŸ‘‹, do you know of any comprehensive searchable database of dev events including themes, size, location, date, attendee "types", code of conduct, etc? Similar to Lanyrd but not dead. I think many dev marketing teams would pay for this.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»We are hiring a Software Engineer for @heroku@twitter.com's venerable Vault team. Hit me up if you know a good candidate! πŸ™Œ salesforce.wd1.myworkdayjobs.c

Epilogue (+ protip): allegedly @Avis@twitter.com, @budget, and some other car companies excessively over book by design. The reservation system has no connection to inventory. @Enterprise@twitter.com, @nationalcares@twitter.com, and @alamocares@twitter.com care about people & don’t. @Enterprise@twitter.com is awesome! Use them! πŸ‘ πŸš—πŸ’¨

Final chapter of @Avis@twitter.com is horribly managed: booked a @nationalcares@twitter.com car from the anger-filled @Avis@twitter.com waiting area (oh yes, I was not alone), walked 3 blocks to @nationalcares@twitter.com , picked up car, got upgraded, and I’m off. NEVER USE @Avis@twitter.com.

Excuses so far: it’s summer, we got more reservations than expected, cars didn’t come back. Bottom line @Avis@twitter.com, don’t let me reserve a car if one won’t be available.

Reserved car in advance at @Avis@twitter.com and showed up this morning to no cars available. Won’t find me a car at another rental company. I guess @avis doesn’t understand the definition of reserve or customer service?

Hear are 10 reasons that you should submit to the CFP. Let's GOOOOOO!

Do you ever have fleeting moments of extreme clarity? Like some big complex hairy personal/family/work problem suddenly seems tractable -- but then that deep and comforting understanding disappears as quickly as it arrived.

Hi @Massdrop@twitter.com is something wrong with your support team? I had a support thread going that went silent from your side. Followed up multiple times over past 3 weeks. This is very frustrating.
