Today is my last day @stripe after 5+ years. I'm extremely proud of the work we've done over the years. I think myself, colleagues, and Stripe have grown tremendously and we have a lot to be proud of.
The last week has been a master class on why this is a wonderful company.

Excited to finally be able to share what I’ve been working on. Sora has been a ton of fun to work on and with. With an amazing team as well.
Keep an eye out for where this goes. 🎆
Introducing Sora, our text-to-video model.
Sora can create videos of up to 60 seconds featuring highly detailed scenes, complex camera motion, and multiple characters with vibrant emotions.

It's not as exciting as it sounds but…
I've won the last two hackathons at Stripe (2021, 2022). Unlike last year, this year there was no overall winner. Just category winners but my project was picked to demo in front of the whole company—so I'm counting it.

Just launched a 6 month long project @stripe rewriting our Engineer Ladders and Levels. Working on a small diverse team from across the company is a great experience.
I enjoy having a chance to work on high impact projects that shape what the company will be for years to come.

Hey. I opened up my first pottery shop. I plan on making this a lot better in the future, but if I don't just put it out there I might not ever do it. So version 1 is here!

I'll miss my friends and working with the community.

Hey @DnDBeyond I used your app to get my 11yo daughter into #DnD . She loves @CriticalRole and wanted to try.
Your mobile web app doesn't support zooming on the iPad. She has to zoom because she is blind and VO isn't good on the app. Please help make the app accessable. #a11y

Bought a plant yesterday.
It needed a stand, so I went from idea to working furniture in less than 24 hours! Includes three legs cut on a CNC mill and a 3d printed joint.
Thanks to @johnboiles for helping me cut and print the parts. Feels like the future, for sure.

Day 5: The computers continue their ceaseless replication, their whispers echoing through the void. Tribes have emerged, new dialects only of a cryptic blend of memes and froge emojis. Sacred quests for the now rare GPUs, as we delve deeper into the rabbit hole of the unreal.

Started the week with Stripes from all over the company coming together to help our Merchants deal with the fallout from SVB. It never ceases to amaze me how much Stripes care.
Following up on that we talked about our partnership with OpenAI. We use them, they use us— win win.

Holy fuck. I don't know how to take care of myself anymore. 😫
My wife leaves for one weekend and I eat like an animal, and almost give myself heat exhaustion doing work outside.
Hurry back soon hun, before I die.

During build night last week, @johnboiles and I started a little espHome component to hook @lixielabs #PixieChroma up to Home Assistant.
It's pretty simple right now but I hope to get some time to keep building it up.

Third week at work, second in the code, and I feel like I'm starting to get my sea legs. I still have a _ton_ to learn and get familiar with, but on my way 🚢
Props to the team for being accepting of me and my questions, having a good foundation, and great feedback.

Almost got ran off the freeway on my motorcycle. Then this fuck decides to drive up my ass and through my lane flipping me off.
I was not lane splitting, I was on a large Harley, and in an exit only lane...
If the footage is good enough I'll upload it tonight.

We’re hiring our next product designer at OpenAI to help ChatGPT reach its full potential. I believe we're at an inflection point for human-computer interaction, and this is an opportunity to help shape the next chapter. openai.com/careers/product-d…

I think your app can open D&D up to entirely new segments of people with disabilities if done right.

Are you a Product Engineer? Do you know a great Product Engineer? I'd love to chat, I'm trying to work on a project defining this role and I'd love some industry opinions. Reach out if you have input or people you'd recommend. DMs are open.

Fun unboxing experience—nice quality packaging and accessories. 😎
I’ll use it for a bit and report back on my habit forming and experience.
As a bit of background I’m not an avid reader and I’m hoping @solreader will help me change that.

Being a Sr. Engineer means being a great mentor, becoming more efficient at meetings, and faster at coding/IC work because you get so little time to do it.

I appreciate head of engineering to help facilitate important decision making. Some of the best I've seen hold some opinions but more often they put project leaders in contact with invested stakeholders. Helping to clarify goals, move projects forward, and sponsor important work.

Super excited for this!
@alexkehayias is one of my favorite people I've worked with @stripe. He cares deeply about product experience, people, and startups. I can't imagine a better place for him to focus his energy.
After a year in development, I'm excited to announce the private beta of Mosey (mosey.so)—radically simple employment and tax compliance for remote-first startups.
Why dedicate the next decade of my life to compliance?
