As a parent of a small child who frequently requires a stroller, I should be able to track all of my steps with my fitbit. Please fix it.

There's got to be a way to factor in horizontal movement, speed, heart rate, the "bounce"associated with walking... at this rate, I'm sure parents everywhere have lost steps when strolling parks, grocery stores, and wherever else they don't move their arms due to pushing.

I wish my would continue to track my steps when I'm pushing my daughter's stroller. I'm missing at least 5K steps per day this week (I've walked 3 theme parks and a couple airports for HOURS over the past few days...I should be winning every challenge). I want my steps.

6. Flex your muscles. Speak up in technical meetings, review and comment on pull requests, raise your hand for the meaty work, deliver quality code complete with docs and tests. Become undeniable, take up space!

I recall meeting a guy on the team at for #render2022-- and I told him all I wanted in this world was for Teams to let me send messages to myself. Yesterday I discovered that feature has been implemented... and I'm so pleased about it!

Stack Overflow runs nine (9) on-prem servers to host all its sites, and found that giving SQL 1.5 TB RAM was more effective than caching page fragments with Redis.

Right.
SCOTUS should not be a life term.
While I'm not opposed to elections...I have also put serious thought into a staggered term of 12 years (3 year offset), where each president would have the opportunity to appoint at least one justice during their term(s).

Render was created to build a table that has a seat for everyone; where discussions that would impact all for the greater good would occur, where we would build/be community. The recent ruling creates more division in the world & negatively impacts women for generations to come.

WE AIN’T GOT NO ROOF! We took over @PonceCityMarket roof. Yes, it was incredibly lit with our friends from @indeed on the vibes & @greygoose pouring us up.
This is just Part 1 of what you missed at #Render2022! Stay tuned each week as we continue the #RenderRecap!

Another thing I loved about #render2022: meeting people while working the charging station / help desk.
Did you see me at or one of the evening activations?? 👋🏾
Where you from? I'm trying find contacts in all the places!

This was my 2nd time attending #RenderATL and it didn’t disappoint. I had a great time and so glad I was able to see and chat with so many people that have been on this tech journey with me and have helped me along the way. Can’t wait for Render 2023!!

One of my favorite moments at #render2022 was meeting && completely fan-girling over @ParissAthena and @Dayhaysoos at the @RenderATL Rooftop event.
Did I squeal with delight? Yes. Yes I did.

Moral of the story #RenderATL was and is a whole vibe. This was a tech conference that treated their attendees and speakers better than any one I have ever spoken at or attended so far.
The post-panna cotta conference bar is high now.

Now that I’m safely home with a negative test, I can take a breath to think and say that was an amazing time, made so many great connections both for myself and others and seeing so much Black Excellence was incredibly energizing. 👏✨

Leaving #RenderATL after 4 days of magic! Thank you soooo much to the organizers for providing a space for us all to live, laugh, love, and learn!
I absolutely loved meeting my Twitter fam in person and reconnecting with old friends.
My soul is fed and my heart is happy ❤️

My 3 favorite things
1. Black and Brown Excellence everywhere!
2. So many references to getting what you deserve, money talk is so taboo in my culture, I loved hearing so many talking about securing that bag 👏🏾
3. So much culture, energy, & realness
