I like movie watching and bird watching 🎥 🦉

Today it is exactly 10 years since I started working at @slack.engineering. I've had the great fortune to work with some truly amazing people over the years and I'm sorry for the bugs I introduced along the way.

A friend of mine describes the black-throated sparrow as a "goth cardinal" and apart from the size difference I think they have a point! 🖤 🪶

I'm only halfway through this very entertaining conversation, but had to pause to say: The 88 films Supercop has the Hong Kong cut if one is... tired of Miramax.

The amount of research you have to do when buying Asian movies is still frustrating, but at least there's so much more availability now!
