    The dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer in our Munich apartment all chime when they’re finished, and KEEP CHIMING until you come and deal with them. It’s to the point where I’ve started to think of the actual DEVICES as being passive-aggressive. “YES YES, I’M COMING YOU JERK.” https://t.co/tjILMiwb3I


    @brettporter Good lord, that would have driven anyone ’round the bend! 😂 I would have unplugged the thing and just used an Esky.


    @Carrot361 I *think* ours will eventually stop, but I’ve never been able to listen to it long enough to find out how long it takes.

    @julielerman Film and Theater BA 🙌


    Stanford graduate student combines passions for quilting and coding to create app to help quilters https://t.co/DI0ZIbwrvV – Hypergraphs + math + paper piecing for quilts? 😍 I love that this is being presented at @siggraph! (Thanks @daveathomas for the link!)


    Today I discovered the @ListenToSassy podcast (https://t.co/vNlcTYoHY6) which is so completely my jam I time traveled back to the early 90’s. (Yes, that’s me on a fake Sassy cover I got at a theme park because I was JUST THAT COOL.) 😎 https://t.co/X5yar5uOqU


    @emd3737 @ListenToSassy Six months ago we were talking about what we’d buy if we were millionaires, and I swear my answer was “complete back issues of Sassy.” (I’m on Ep2 already and CRACKING UP.)


    @emd3737 @ListenToSassy @dunneteach Same, I think my Mom threw mine out whenI went to college along with my prized tie-dyed t-shirt with the hand painted “woman” symbol I got from a hippie advertising in the Sassy back classifieds. 😂


    @TaraAriano @emd3737 @dunneteach Tara. This is relevant to my interests. 😳


    @TaraAriano @emd3737 Five euros is a small price to pay for recapturing one’s wayward youth. Done! Looking forward to more episodes…


    @mmastertheone Oh nice!


    @pamelaribon @ListenToSassy I *think* it’s from our 8th grade marching band trip to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, circa 1991-ish. I thought I was the absolute *shit*, you know? 😂❤️


    @pamelaribon @ListenToSassy Nooo no. Sadly no. That would have required a level of self-confidence that even a tie-dyed tank and John Lennon sunglasses couldn’t give that little Midwestern wallflower. 😂

    True story – I saw @soganmageshwar present on building Alexa Skills well before I joined the team at AWS, and he turned me from a skeptic about voice UIs into someone that has now built several voice apps. If you want to learn more about it, you should join this free workshop! https://t.co/Dhqq15RwqC


    RT @alex_casalboni: As a developer 👨‍💻👩‍💻 what’s your main pain point when building/running apps on AWS? My DMs are open 💬


    @seemewiddemHANS Not all of us! 🥇(County Spelling Bee champion right here!)


    RT @richdevelops: Get your applications in people.

    Becoming a community member is a great way meet other people passionate about AWS. http…


    @stringy @saltychemicals Awww, thanks Julie. If it helps, I can also recommend the amazing folks at @indigitek. I’ve been fortunate to attend some of their events (back in the pre-Covid days) and always came away feeling inspired. https://t.co/TEut72lpTa
