📢 My client has it setup that any mentions of the company on Twitter are shared in a
#twitter-mentionsslack channel. I could see this being overloaded for some products/teams but when the quantity is right, I suspect it can help w/ improving customer empathy amongst the devs. -
✅ Today’s goals:
Full day of client work with a mix of onboarding phone calls and demos. Hoping to grab a few small tickets and see what I can do and get more familiar with the Elixir code base.
Tonight: Metroid progress or maybe just more Animal Crossing stuff.

👨💻 My root canal was postponed because the computer system in their office went down and they can’t do x-rays. Sounded like something broke and not a ransomware attack. I’m not in crazy pain so not too big a deal. Feeling more sad empathy for how their day is going. Yikes.
