Unexpectedly working from home because of #Covid_19? Join @dylanbeattie tomorrow for some remote working social time! 🎉 Head over to our slack, we have a dedicated remote work channel and you'll find all the details for the virtual catch up 👩‍💻 👉 nott.tech/slack

Post details

I'm running some 'virtual social' events. Partly for fun, partly to see how various video platforms cope with lots of people, and give us all a place to test webcams and microphones and stuff. Who's up for a Zoom Lunch Meetup tomorrow, 13:00 UK time? DM me for info + invitations!

WFH ProTip: Set a profile picture in chat, jira, etc. It goes a looong way to make text feel more personal. And no, I don't mean a picture of your pet. A picture of you 50m away, or of your hand. A picture of your face or a semi-accurate avatar of your face

One tip for people working remotely who were previously working from the office: In every single message, assume there is a smiley ":)" at the end. If you don't do it, anything you read might feel different depending on how you interpret it. You're welcome :)

If you ever thought "women are probably just not as interested in tech" or "the harassment isn't that bad", perhaps take a read of this year's collection of harassment against @ASpittel . And this kind of harassment doesn't just happen for accounts with a significant following.

Please stop saying things are "easy" I'm happy you've put in the work to help you understand a thing easily, but it can be hurtful to definitively say "X is easy" and not understand your own proclivity for learning X. We're all stronger together in our differences

Leaving work early because I haven’t seen my kids in a while. Instead of sneaking out, I let my team know where I’m going / why. If you want to create a culture of flexibility, you have to remove the stigma of guilt. Don’t apologize or act as if you’re doing something wrong.

Accounts run by men receive roughly double the retweets of those run by women. Even online, we are talked for and talked over. Even online, men’s voices carry twice as much worth. It matters. When you see women writing about things that interest you, retweet us. It’s that simple.
