Hi! I’m Melissa, a software engineer with a front-end focus and 4 years of professional experience.

I’m aiming for full-time, but I’m open to contract and part-time roles as well, depending on the project. I thrive in environments with a strong engineering culture that fosters initiative, ownership, collaboration, and transparent communication. I have experience in most stages of a product’s lifecycle, including software engineering, customer research, product design, and product analytics.

If your team needs a positive, multi-faceted contributor who can get things done, let’s have a zoom call! I can bring a ton of value to your team, and I’d love to learn all about the problems you’re working to solve.

It makes more sense when you interpret it as an attempt at humiliation, not diplomacy.

theothermelissa · 6 months ago

I agree. I'd even go further; I suspect this show was about redefining the term "diplomacy" for the conservative base.

I think it's a step in a larger plan to start moving the Republican foreign policy platform into include a greater emphasis on diplomacy. Since diplomacy's been seen as the "weaker and less effective" path for so long it needs a rebrand in order to sell it to a strength-worshipping constituency.

It's more than that. Some people in the audience started harassing Zelensky as well for not wearing a suit. It's just sad how the US has given up on diplomacy thinking that the worldstage is a businness as usual

theothermelissa · 6 months ago

That moment seemed to me to be when Zelensky realized (or accepted) that it was a 'bullies ganging up' setup, and started pushing back.

Snark aside, your point is valid.

If a parent has time to take their child to the local park regularly (i.e., at the same phase of a periodic cycle, e.g. from 13:00 to 14:00 on Wednesdays), that can act as a Schelling point for other parents in the area.

In places that are not large cities and do not have stroads, it can be safe for children to play outside in groups, largely unsupervised. However, I don't think this will be common again (per capita) for at least another 50 years: even just cars are getting more dangerous for children.

theothermelissa · a year ago

Agreed. A lot of convos about kids playing outside point to human dangers -- predators, bullying, kidnapping -- as the "reason" many parents don't let their kids play outside unsupervised, but imo the actual deciding factor is usually traffic.

It seems like a neighborhood design problem to me, at least in the newish suburbs I'm most familiar with. By optimizing for easy-to-drive neighborhoods with large driveways, more of the available space is dedicated specifically to car traffic, leaving less for open or common space. Fenced yards are fun to play in IF you already have playmates -- but without a common place to meet new kids, that can be much more challenging.
