Trying to come up with (amazing, miraculous, <insert adjective>) insights about a protein I modeled so we can publish in a better journal.
If you need to explicitly prohibit everything wrong, you've already lost. Loophole finders are bad for communities. #gentoo
Rands In Repose: A Toxic Paradox - http://www.randsinrepose.com/archive...
"Do the math. This is one meeting, and while you might pull off a meeting win when everyone’s calmed down, you’re spending the first 30 minutes of the meeting in ALL CAPS, and here’s the bad news: a majority of the team is having similar experiences. Most of the folks interacting with this person are spending their time trying to figure out how to keep this person from going ALL CAPS rather than actually getting work done. After a time, this results in even more damage. People stop scheduling meetings with this person. They stop traveling to their part of the building and, again, I’m not talking about one or two people here, I’m talking about the majority of the team." - Donnie Berkholz

@allisonrandal: Hope you're feeling better! Sorry to miss you at #osb09.
@benpotter: I closed the draft to do something else ... it was when I wanted to *resume* writing that I noticed I was screwed.
!$#!#!@#. I just accidentally deleted a draft of a really long email in Gmail. Apparently I clicked Discard when I just wanted to close it.
@techpuppy: Once you've identified the assholes, get 'em the hell out of there. =) Your project/team's mission isn't fixing people. #osb09
@hal_pomeranz: You sat in the front row at my assholes talk, right? Any thoughts / feedback? #osb09

@demew: Saw you say that earlier. =) I think it ties into the idea of making sure people easily get your culture. #osb09
@demew: It's so true, though. Esp in OSS. But the "No Asshole Rule" book has mitigation strategies toward the end. #osb09
@demew: Crap. That means I'll probably have to write something on dealing with assholes after all, to fill in the blanks. #osb09
@sam_goldstein: Thanks! Got ~5ish min behind schedule and didn't notice till it was too late. =\ They need clocks at backs of rooms. #osb09
