2017: @mheiber and I ask for resources to setup a #Mastodon instance on #Thoughtworks infrastructure

2018: @effye , @mheiber and I launch toot.thoughtworks.com . Every employee can create an account start posting. More than 800 people will do that over the next 5 years.

2023: The official corporate account of @thoughtworks is created and starts posting on the #Fediverse.

Hello, world!

Following recent changes at Twitter, the new home of the X.Org Foundation is here on Mastodon. Please follow for the latest in the Linux graphics world and the freedesktop.org community. Going forward, we will no longer post to Twitter, but we're so excited to join the Fediverse!

OMG git in #emacs (via #magit) is insanely powerful and easy to use.

I just was cherry picking commits from a branch that I'd deleted (thanks git reflog!) all with a few keystrokes and I didn't need to RTFM

For those in the UK, I've now got the UK Train Departure boards available from the console like you can with wttr.in for the weather.

You can now query a station using curl or wget (or a browser if you must)

curl uktra.in/mde

I've tested it with Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and Safari as well and it works*

Hit uktra.in/ to get further instructions and how to search
