I just found there is a #dogsofmastodon hashtag and I just have to share this jovial gentleman with the world.

“You reinforce this idea each time you say ‘soft skills’ instead of working to enumerate them. Perhaps you mean ‘interpersonal skills,’ ‘leadership skills,’ or ‘communication skills.’ These are all technical skills, and they all have names.” - Sasha Laundy 🔥🔥🔥
