  1. 🖤
  2. 😆 I would love to know if/how these things are interconnected for him too!
  3. It is!! Say hi and happy birthday to josh!
  4. Ahh the baby is so adorable especially 😍 I love her
  5. At least the sun is out!
  6. oh no not that raccoon 😭 that raccoon slays me 💔
  7. Thank you!
  8. I've spent the last ~16 months working on “developer experience”, overhauling the hiring process to make it scalable, learning how to hire recruiters, and also trying to build out more and better support for team leads. It's been intense and exhausting and I've learned so much.
  9. same!!
  10. But, I've been thinking a lot about what I really _enjoy_. For a while I've wanted to get back to working on a product team, in the end this led to the (incredibly hard 😭) decision to leave. I'm taking some time off to decompress, but I'm excited about what's next for me.
  11. Well it arrived today :)
  12. Research: Women Score Higher Than Men in Most Leadership Skills (But they still don't get promoted 🙄) https://buff.ly/2YnTY23
  13. 🇮🇪☀️ https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/%f0%9f%87%ae%f0%9f%87%aa%e2%98%80%ef%b8%8f/…
  14. 😭🖤
  15. 😭🖤 that is so beautiful I aspire to be that raccoon.
  16. 😆
  17. 🤍
  18. I know it’s... yeah. Very frustrating.
  19. 🤍🤍🤍
  20. Who sent me a beautiful hamper for my birthday? 🤍
  21. 🖤🖤🖤
  22. 😆 that was the plan, but all vacations are cancelled 😢
  23. The mystery is solved it is one of my non twitter friends. This is not even the first time she sent me something without signing her name I should have guessed sooner 😆🤍
  24. 🌳 https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/%f0%9f%8c%b3-11/…
  25. Whaaaaaat I had no idea. These people need better hobbies. Thank you for the heads up!
  26. It’s amazing how given enough therapy you can just... do more of the things that make you happy and less of the things that do not. Even more wild: some people skip the therapy and just like... always lived like that.
  27. This is such a great article 👌 The Value is in Dealing with the Messy Stuff https://buff.ly/2DQUCuq
  28. 😭 "Many people have harmed me in my life, and I remember them all, but the memories grow pale and faint in comparison with the people who've helped me." https://buff.ly/2VWgGwK
  29. 🤍🤍🤍
  30. Omg it’s done 😭

  39. 🙃
  40. No really, who sent me this 🙈 I need to be able to thank you! 🤍
  41. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
  42. 😂 I also sent him a hamper, he seems happy. relief!!
  43. 🤍
  44. watching issa and molly’s friendship slowly deteriorate is exactly what happens when both people stop showing up as their authentic selves because the space no longer feels safe. people may not stop loving you but they will def stop showing up when they don’t feel seen or heard.
  45. This arrived today with no gift message, it’s beautiful 😍 who sent it? I love it 🤍🥰
  46. That’s awesome!! 🤍
  47. I will be someone's manager for some length of time, but I will send bug reports FOREVER.
  48. This arrived today with no gift message, it’s beautiful 😍 who sent it? I love it 🤍🥰
  49. 😍
  50. :)
  51. 😆 “not at work” but honestly 💯 I agree
  52. I’m so sorry 🤍
  53. Yes totally!
  54. I am always here to validate you, precious 💋
  55. Aww babe, I'm sorry. I feel you, being alone during this _sucks_ and I have tons of space and live in a country with a competent govt. It's so understandable not to be okay 💜 here if you need an insomnia buddy my timezone is A++ for that.
  56. Hahaha yay i am glad to be increasing your raccoon exposure. Here is a very beautiful one I saw on Instagram earlier today https://instagram.com/p/B_zUQPUASUe/?igshid=1nbvky3ey39n9…
  57. Like, just a hypothetical, forgetting your friends birthday?
  58. My dad’s birthday is today and he is so hard to shop for so I sent him peonies because 1) i fucking love peonies and 2) if you’re going to buy a man flowers why not go all out 😆
  59. New vase 🥰 https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/new-vase-%f0%9f%a5%b0/…
  60. I read this yesterday, it was wonderful: https://amazon.co.uk/Five-Years-Rebecca-Serle-ebook/dp/B07TNRRP49… And this the other week which also, 💯 https://amazon.co.uk/White-Royal-Blue-Casey-McQuiston/dp/1250316774…
  61. I miss you 😭
  62. The contents of this package is so very random 😆
  63. Felt the need to mix things up this morning, found this (YSL) lipgloss in the midst of my spare makeup… no recollection of buying it, but it seems like a message from a past Cate to be bold! Also experimenting with highlighter and the beauty pie finishing spray a friend gave me!
  64. It was a bit scary at first but i am into it 💋
  65. Another thing, the Irish government decided to: - actively try and take care of people in long term residential care - accurately report on those numbers - list deaths as Covid even if the person had co-morbidities Even death rates are influence by policy and not comparable.
  66. I don’t understand the Irish blessings thing AT ALL.
  67. Some countries have chosen to protect wealth. I am grateful to live (and pay ~50% tax) in a country that chose to protect lives.
  68. I know but my dad! I felt so much pressure to give him something that like... met some unarticulated want. This year I gave in to giving him consumables that people generally like 😆 I also sent him a hamper and some hand cream.
  69. Awww look what arrived from @juliepagano
  70. Thank you! 🤍
  71. 😆
  72. 🌅 https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/%f0%9f%8c%85-9/…
  73. I’ve taken to listening to @shouldwepodcast
  74. Ireland is going to come out of this whole situation with less trauma, better healthcare, and more social support. All things that will make paying down the debt raised to fund all this easier.
  75. Good news from Ireland: - we have capacity for 12K tests a day, only 3.5% of which are coming back positive. - tourist accommodation is being used to house homeless people, including quarantining or cocooning those sick or at risk. This is moving some out of homelessness.
  76. Yes !!
  77. 😃
  78. Yay!!
  79. I think so too.
  80. 🤍
  81. I understand wanting hot water in <5m but I do not understanding wanting tea that has strong undertones of evil.
  82. 😆
  83. :)
  84. Mmm idk, emotional state is a big variable.
  85. After staying put for 2 months (a personal record in ~10 years aside possibly from visa issues that had me trapped in Canada) I am desperate for novelty any kind of novelty so this week I bought seven flavors of tea, five kinds of flowers and four bottles of shower gel 🙈
  86. Hypnotic. https://x.com/engineeringvid/engineeringvids/status/1257617882961199104…
  87. Wild to think that this time a year ago I was also trapped. In Thailand, because my passport was full. Surely that was an entirely different lifetime.
  88. Aww!!
  89. 🤍🤍🤍 yay!!!
  90. 🤍 she’s been taking classes for a while :)
  91. Aww George 🤍
  92. Some more of my mom’s backyard photography 🌷 I love the tulips!
  93. Today’s theme was “reflections”, these are 😍🤯
  94. Mmm kinda, more as a review step though and for giving feedback to the interviewer as much as anything else.
  95. Red Bridge https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/red-bridge/…
  96. That is also my fave!
  97. Well yes but rich people want passports so...
  98. Right? RIGHT?!?!
  99. Aww thank you! I miss you all already! 💜
  100. Tulips 🌷 https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/tulips-%f0%9f%8c%b7/…
  101. 😆
  102. My mom ordered me some things from here for my birthday, the mango tea is AMAZING. They have some good selection packs which is what I went with. I think shipping outside of Ireland might be expensive though https://houseoftea.ie
  103. BRITISH PEOPLE LOOK AWAY NOW
  104. It looks great!
  105. 🤯
  106. :(
  107. What even is powdered instant tea?!? what is not instant about a tea bag?!
  108. I love it!
  109. Okay that is pretty random 🙈 do you like it?
  110. 😭
  111. Aww 🤍
  112. Bonkers
  113. Can confirm that filling a passport is actually a poorly documented PITA. Can agree it’s low risk in this dark timeline 😆 are new passports not happing in your country right now?
  114. It’s an abomination
  115. Haha that I am still resisting!
  116. I am distraught.
  117. Like microwaving water, genuinely a terrible act of hate towards beverages and humanity, was somehow the least of it?!? I don’t even know what a lot of that stuff is?!? Why is there a bowl of it?!? This is not even tea?!?!?!?
  118. That woman is #lifegoals I can’t even.
  119. Oh my god babe that sounds horrific, I’m so sorry 🤍🤍🤍
  120. 🌱💐 https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/%f0%9f%8c%b1%f0%9f%92%90/…
  121. 😆🤍
  122. Haha I have a LEGO game :) I need things that can be completed!
  123. Dusk 🇮🇪 https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/dusk-%f0%9f%87%ae%f0%9f%87%aa-4/…
  124. Stuck in an endless loop of “what is burnout and what is boredom” and periodically segfaulting because very few things are good for both 🙈
  125. Thank you!
  126. Gel masks? Is this skincare?!? But also yes so much that
  127. Omg yes please report back and if I can help you I love love love skincare always happy to discuss
  128. 🤍
  129. Omg thank you
  130. Perhaps this explains why I am so concerned about being eaten 🤔
  131. Hiyaaaaa 🤍
  132. 🌟
  133. Really helpful (I finished therapy ~6m ago but have been going back and forth on whether it would be worth having a few sessions what with **gestures** everything) - Therapy by Phone or Video Chat Kinda Sucks. Here's How to Make It Better https://buff.ly/2T2ynIT /via @CAwkward
  134. I really like this one tho 😆
  135. That is a hell of a story! So glad she is okay and had people like you advocating for her 🤍
  136. Yes!! It looks super cool!
  137. 🦉
  138. ⛅️ https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/%e2%9b%85%ef%b8%8f-4/…
  139. Hahaha have you seen any of pics of my interior decor 😆
  140. I love this advice column from @hhavrilesky
  141. That is a hell of a story! So glad she is okay and had people like you advocating for her 🤍
  142. 🤍 I hope you’re okay!
  143. 🖤
  144. hahahahahahaha omg
  145. Oh wow! That must have been rough! I’m glad you got a diagnosis.
  146. The words “you should” need to be removed from everyone’s vocabulary right now, it’s not helpful.
  147. Oh, damn! 💯👏 https://x.com/JohnConnorM/st/JohnConnorM/status/1260586323791970309…
  148. OK we're calling it "Hotfixes for Your Newly Remote Team" please only respond with validation I cannot do this again.
  149. Writing a talk with @elibud
  150. If you were going to listen to us talk about remote management, what would you want it to be called?
  151. I'm supportive.
  152. That is a lot! I’m so glad for you!
  153. Well I live in a country with a competent government so that is helping a lot.
  154. so agree 🖤
  155. ahh nice!
  156. my phrasing was very deliberate lol
  157. I mean, that is fair 🙈
  158. thank you!
  159. Thank you!! This reminds me I need to go and buy more flowers!!!!!
  160. 😆🤍 https://instagram.com/p/B_-peqxnhEo/?igshid=1dnul9v669ia1…
  161. @CharlesSchwab
  162. That sounds super stressful :( the R number has been ~0.5 for the last month here and reopening will be _slow_
  163. Joined your patreon! I have been wanting to catch one of the live shows but it’s super late in Europe :(
  164. I hope so too 🤍
  165. 🤍 awesome
  166. Love it!
  167. Hahaha it’s a swift world webinar thing but ofc there will be blog posts...
  168. Years from now those of us who are left will look back on this situation and say... y’know kids, the way to survive a pandemic is... ...to live in a country with a competent government.
  169. J/k j/k I have like ~5 friends I didn’t make on twitter or at work 😆
  170. Def flee to the EU! It’s mostly much better here.
  171. I hope you will be okay.
  172. Just lmk when you want it 😆
  173. A good thing about keeping a stockpile of cream eggs in the house is that eating a cream egg for breakfast is a clear warning sign that All Is Not Well 😆
  174. I actually made a friend at the gym once. Obviously, she is an extrovert.
  175. Haha you can have your own personal tour if you want!
  176. 🌹 https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/%f0%9f%8c%b9-5/…
  177. Nonononono WhatsApp I’m whatsapping you right now 😆
  178. Ooh exciting!!!
  179. 🙈
  180. Thank you!! I did the arrangement and was pretty happy with it.
  181. I’ll call you on video and take you on a walking tour of cork 🇮🇪
  182. Oh yikes!
  183. Those are mainly in Asia so swings and roundabouts.
  184. That is some bullshit, I hope you replace them with better and more supportive friends.
  185. The opening to this gets me every time, although I was initially very confused as to why Michael Bublé sounded so much like BNL https://open.spotify.com/track/2Nb2SSUnGfThgDyG9ZOAkS?si=TFxH_372T5qMOc8EIbc3Ug…
  186. 💯
  187. Wow that is a twisted way to initiate a break up 🤔
  188. More flower close ups. These are beautiful.
  189. replacing humans with a new species seems particularly likely to improve things right now 😆 may as well give it a go
  190. The peonies I sent my dad for his birthday were requisitioned for Art.
  191. Evening roaming 🇮🇪 https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/evening-roaming-%f0%9f%87%ae%f0%9f%87%aa/…
  192. 😆
  193. Omg Dan 😆 should I send you more beauty products? 🤍
  194. Ooh okay that does sound disappointing. Can’t wait for your report on the new one!
  195. Such a pretty raccoon 😍
  196. Wait that’s a thing?!?
  197. I love the disgruntled frog!!
  198. Haha exactly!!!
  199. Looks good!
  200. 10 different kinds of tea, and two beauty box subscriptions 🙈
  201. Raccoon playing with snack and being pet by another raccoon 🦝🤍
  202. Going to the physio tomorrow and honestly so excited WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?!?
  203. 😆
  204. Red Bridge Cloudy Day ☁️ https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/red-bridge-cloudy-day-%e2%98%81%ef%b8%8f/…
  205. No? My physio is a dude in cork. This is a raccoon in busan, korea.
  206. #SeaShambles is LIVE tonight. We may not be at the actual @RoyalAlbertHall tonight as planned, but we've still got a 3 hour spectacular show of science, music, comedy & more all about our blue planet lined up as part of #RoyalAlbertHome. 7pm https://youtu.be/bBQmdbVeoKw
  207. Weekends are weird lately so let me give you the gift of some previously not on the internet raccoon pictures my friend @beaulebens
  208. So domestic!
  209. Yay @seb_ly
  210. Aww she’s getting a snack and a drink. Those ears!! That tail!!!
  211. It’s so hard to find relatable media in this pandemic but watching Mitchell in modern family have a long conversation and seemingly spend a day with his fridge is... maybe I need a fridge like this...
  212. Here is beau making friends with a raccoon by giving her a snack can confirm raccoons and beaus are a++ friends so this is a great situation all around. Giving snacks also works for befriending beau 😆🤍
  213. Dis raccoon looks so soulful. I feel you, beautiful raccoon 🖤
  214. DM me if you wanna join my virtual viewing party!
  215. Remote laserrrrrrrrrs!!!
  216. Looks lovely!
  217. Raccoon snacking!!! 😍🥰
  218. Thank you! I can’t DM you. If you DM me I will reply with the tracking number.
  219. Totally agree. It’s fine to have to look the odd thing up, we all do, but if when you are programming you are both thinking about how to solve it AND how to write it down, you’re going to have a hard time. This will show up in technical interviews, but far from only there.
  220. Oh wow, I just unchecked ~70% of the things in that list so... I guess more accurate in that there were some things I am interested in on that list, but they were a rounding error.
  221. Yay!!
  222. @dpdireland
  223. The list is only things I hate and I LOVE RACCOONS MORE THAN LIFE
  224. Went for a soft, fresh look today. Purple mascara is so fun! 💋
  225. Given how much personal nonsense I post on here you would think twitter would know me better. Unless hate is an engagement strategy...? Oh okay got it. Although where are the dolphins? The only things I hate more than everything on this list is dolphins and el cheeto.
  226. I may be alone in this but I quite like the “maybe you missed” thing 🙈
  227. Yayyyy 🤍 favourite hector
  228. Remote-team managers can learn a lot from open-source communities https://cate.blog/2020/05/20/remote-team-managers-can-learn-a-lot-from-open-source-communities/…
  229. Right?!?
  230. 🤍
  231. Thanks!
  232. Totally post selfies!!
  233. Yeah idk, Instagram is convinced I have a pet and keeps showing me advertisements for pet grooming and sleeping accoutrements 😆
  234. Can I just mail you some of the notebooks I don’t need? 😆
  235. Virtual movie night tonight! We are probably going to watch clueless but may watch legally blonde. 9pm UK / 4pm East coast. DM me if you want to join! The last two weeks have been super fun.
  236. Amazing, WhatsApp me an address and I’ll mail some over 😆
  237. Niki, are you okay?
  238. Ireland is making progress in our national effort against #Covid19. We need to keep at it. But we can help each other. It’s such a tough time for everyone so let’s decide today to reach out to one person, show them a random act of kindness. Could mean the world to them. Stay safe
  239. 🤍
  240. 💌
  241. 🤖🤍
  242. This is interesting, & I am inclined to agree. I think this approach makes it very hard to hire in SF, however there’s enough talent everywhere else it doesn’t necessarily matter - Remote Employees Shouldn’t Be Paid Less Based on Geography /by @nickfrancis
  243. 😘
  244. This week’s gift was the ultimate. I noticed a small detail, did a bit of an investigation, required help from two people, bent the truth just a little & ahh… surprise should arrive in ~2 weeks. It’s probably good I’m starting a new job soon, this is getting out of hand 😆
  245. I didn’t hear back. Is someone going to help with this? I’m happy to go collect it if you can tell me where that even is.
  246. 😆
  247. Do people not change their underwear… when they shower? 🙈
  248. Today’s theme is... bugs? 🐜🐛
  249. I think it was probably quite mild but I was very upset by it for reasons I didn’t bring up at the time.
  250. Oh I also bought a plant for my bedroom and the seedlings I planted have been reported and continue to grow. This whole situation seems well underway 🙈
  251. Haha I mean, I wasn’t holding onto it! But I definitely _remembered_ it!
  252. Are people not showering anymore? I am on 2x a day, occasionally with an extra for particular purposes 🤔
  253. I asked a friend if she remembered an argument we had 15 years ago. Unsurprisingly, she did not remember it 😆 I should probably forget it as well 🤔
  254. Haha noooo it’s fun and people do such nice things for me too 😍🥰
  255. :)
  256. That’s awesome!!!
  257. Wife is arguing raccoons are treated unfairly, that they would make great pets. “They’re cute, they’re smart, they have those little hands.” Not sure if this is insane or genius. Maybe this is like the discovery of kale, but for domestic pets? Opinions?
  258. 🤍
  259. Looks soft!
  260. They are the visionary we need right now

  264. Dusk ☁️ https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/dusk-%e2%98%81%ef%b8%8f/…
  265. Always full of good thoughts for you 🤍
  266. 😆
  267. 🌱 https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/%f0%9f%8c%b1-9/…
  268. Omg I am at a FARMERS MARKET about to eat food I did not prepare myself with a FRIEND truly this is a great and exciting day 🎉
  269. 🙈
  270. The idea of all these plants was that I would buy fewer flowers. That has not happened. But isn’t having things in the window pretty?! And also I think distracts people from looking inside which I hated.
  271. I completely agree with your wife. If raccoons had been domesticated instead of dogs feminism would be years ahead of where it is today.
  272. Thank you! And I appreciate you sharing it!
  273. 💐 https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/%f0%9f%92%90-9/…
  274. Hahaha amazing!!
  275. It’s hard! Especially under pressure. I’ve also found its easier for toxic people to hide their machinations.
  276. I think aside from the pandemic and being so burnt out I have zero creative capacity I am the happiest I’ve been... ever? If this sounds really weird it is, it feels so fucking weird. But also kinda fine which I guess is that whole being happy thing. Bonkers.
  277. This baby raccoon having her tummy stroked is the most adorable 😍🥰 https://instagram.com/p/CAiq1VZAld5/?igshid=1azxsoo8ggni2…
  278. One thing this whole "remote work" is missing is if you don't have good standards of management & reasonable levels of trust your team that barely functions in an office will fully disintegrate when they aren't faced with regular reminders of each other's existence and humanity.
  279. I went to the garden centre today, because I felt the planter @skamille
  280. 💡 https://photo.cate.blog/2020/05/%f0%9f%92%a1-8/…
  281. It’s now less encouraged socially to fight with swords and guns.
  282. Yeah, I think I'm more like... We never have the conversation to get past all the shit they did to me (and I'm sure they have a story about how I did stuff too) so every interaction just... Ends up dredging up so much anger. I hate it.
  283. I'm sure but also that generally goes beyond personality and into the systems they design and behaviors they reward.
  284. Turns out no longer doing things or being around people that make you miserable is super great for emotional well being. Who knew?! Also resting: good actually. 🤯
  285. Oh that’s good!
  286. I haven't heard Facebook held up as a particularly great engineering culture or well delivering organization. They've just been on a good enough trajectory to bandaid a lot of things. The fancy offices were probably a big part of that bandaid. Well, the band aid is gone now.
  287. 😆
  288. The whole vantablack thing, I think. It’s a pretty tech bro douche story iirc
  289. Everything that is playing out is the long term inequity - women make less money, and are held (and then push on each other) higher standards. Also, taking care of children is exhausting. For most women it's not an option to just not be able to do it, but for men it seems to be.
  290. 🤍
  291. :/ depends if you could talk about it I guess, and both own your shit. I think I could forgive it all if I got some kind of acknowledgement and apology but I'm not sure what to do when I don't believe that will ever come.
  292. There's a lot of tweeting about the headline of a woman shutting down her company because her husband couldn't deal with the child care but the entire article is more nuanced and worth reading. https://thelily.com/i-had-to-choose-being-a-mother-with-no-child-care-or-summer-camps-women-are-being-edged-out-of-the-workforce…
  293. I got some distance but just found this pool of unexpressed rage and I don't know what to do with it 🙈
  294. For the most part international employees are classed as contractors. This makes entering the US painful, is questionably legal in some countries, and has at times complicated tax implications. Also: - notice periods vary, making time to fill role unpredictable (e.g 3m notice).
  295. Like this Facebook "high performer" thing is a blunt implement likely to be used against women and PoC, sure. But also a lot of what they are doing seems like a way to maintain some level of control and accountability. Why do they need to do that?
  296. Buying ice cream has changed significantly 😆
  297. In practice most remote co’s offer benefits only to US employees, which means even when salary is transparent and equitable, total compensation/ cost per employee is not. Suspect health insurance and pension could easily result in a US employee being compensated ~5-10% more.
  298. 🤍
  299. 🤍🤍🤍
  300. In Ireland tax as a contractor comprable to as an employee, can write off slightly more so probably will be a net win. Health insurance and accountant each ~150€/m. Given remote co’s pay closer to US salaries (higher than EU), the hassle & lack of benefits is worthwhile.
  301. Thanks for sharing that
  302. In some countries being a contractor rather than an employee is a win for tax (less than as an employee). In others, it’s higher. It often excludes people from certain benefits, like whether contractors are eligable for Covid benefits in some euro countries is an open question.
  303. 💯 especially the things where... it would not occur to a reasonable person that someone would behave like that.
  304. Yeah UK is particularly bad, no benefits, less security, equal taxation to employment but with all the overhead. Recent change, I think ~3-4 years ago, wiped all the benefit out.
  305. Congratulations!
  306. Benefits are difficult, taxable in some countries but not in others. In the UK health insurance is a taxable benefit (but much cheaper). In Australia paying into superannuation (retirement) is mandatory. This makes it hard to have salary transparency.
  307. Either way there are costs associated, and it can be harder to prove income (e.g if you want to get a mortgage).
  308. International employment law is a can of worms, especially for Americans who often do not understand the concept. You need a paper trail to fire someone, sometimes it has to be done in a specific way. To fire a French employee, it must be done in person and in French.
  309. IANAL (or an accountant) but imo the legal and practical realities of global remote work have not been tested because in practice it’s been a small number of companies employing a small number of highly paid people, particularly relative to market.
  310. CLUELESS 😍
  311. Australia has uncapped liability for employment law, personal (ie if someone is bullied their manager can be personally liable). Every new country to fire someone in, you need to untangle legal. Even if people are “technically” contractors, you don’t know what court will enforce.

  354. “Who cares I’ll just drive across the country” seems like a logical extension of “who cares I’ll just go around shaking hands and then be a drain on the NHS.”
