I was noticing, on stream, that Tanner Linsley lost a bunch of weight and now looks like a thicc Tom Holland. (That is not a slight against him, Tom is young) Then I realized that, after gaining some weight, I look like current day Edward Furlong. Fuck...

As I get older, I realize more and more that the sound I make when I get up and sit down is "the sound of a dying giraffe".

I'm so pumped that @gitnation.bsky.social asked me to host a few of these interviews. It's always so much fun chatting with Ken. And getting to do so with that view? Epic t.co/rCdPNLZakO

Empathy is a 4 letter word when you grow up rich

Can’t deep fry food everyday, I guess. Some baked pacific cod.

I try and do the right thing and name a git remote, "upstream", but AI, GitHub CLI, GitHub itself, and other things think that if I have an upstream I want to make PRs to it. I am now choosing to name my upstream remotes, "salmon". Tooling will ignore it, I will chuckle, everything will be chiller.

Little easter egg in the Ghostty codebase

I'm really looking forward to the Aaron Sorkin scripted movie about all this OpenAI stuff. In a stunning twist, they will get Jesse Eisenburg to play yet another dead-eyed billionaire without a conscience. Poor dude is getting typecast at this point.

You put your lurk up on my stream When I Claude You Claude We Claude

I'm wanting a high level planning and orchestration tool. In agile terms, I want to think in "Epics" not "Features" when it comes to parallel orchestration. ...am I going to have to learn what a polecat is?

Testing a theory

Asking for a friend, is there anything that could go wrong eating french dips every day? For science obviously (or not)?

OMG, Kagi cooked on this one. translate.kagi.com?to=en_us&fro... Translate the LinkedIn slop posts into honest language.

Every AI company: I'll gladly show you profit Tuesday for an investment today!

To celebrate Irish new year, I decided to make fish and chips. Couldn’t decide between Dover sole and catfish so I got a filet of both. (They didn’t have pollock) They also didn’t have any Guinness, so Irish death was a good sub for the batter.

Happy Irish New Year everyone! I forget what year it is though. It's one of these I think. Year of the... - Guinness - Leprechaun - Whiskey - Clover - Brian Setzer - Father Ted Maybe I missed one.

I recently learned about Thanos (thanos.io) in the Grafana/Otel space and I'm mildly upset that it isn't a chaos engineering tool for k8s that just deletes half the nodes and resources in a cluster to see if it can maintain uptime. I might lose sleep over this.

Who out there works at a company that maintains internal forks of OSS repos? Followup: How much time do you think gets spent each day/week/month/etc merging the upstream back into the fork?

I just sneezed so hard, I reset my own context window like an etch-a-sketch

TIL My sink is a generational garbage collector, and certain dishes have a way higher priority for being collected and cycled.

I think we were all gaslit by "Hotel California". Name another song by the Eagles that you actually like. (If you say Desperado, we are now enemies) I'm on Jeffrey Lebowski's train of thought. "I've had a long day and I just hate the fuckin eagles." (besides a song or two)

I almost always use a CDN for static assets, but this one silly little mini project really didn't need it. I laughed a little too loud when I saw this error in the Action.

Hey @jennybryan.bsky.social, Sorry to make a post like this but I couldn't figure out how to get in touch with you otherwise. We at GitKraken made a PR to update the images in your happy-git-with-r repo. github.com/jennybc/happ... Happy to move this conversation elsewhere if you like.

My response when OpenCode and Minimax ask me "The plan is approved, would you like me to implement the changes?".

I'm doing some fiddling with the Bluesky firehose and jetstream and I'm seeing some interesting results. @pfrazee.com, @bsky.app and anyone else familiar with these things, how is the jetstream delivering more messages than the firehose it listens to?

This should be a tradition every 6 months. It's bound to be right eventually, right?

OpenClaw has spawned a bunch of lighter weight options: nanobot, nextclaw, picoclaw, nullclaw This was inevitable cmgriffing.github.io/ozempic-claw /s btw

I'm probably late to the party: I wonder if there is some optimization to be made for using stronger models during the "Plan" phase and then breaking it up and delegating smaller tasks to cheaper models.

ChatTwitchity* *patent pending

If you are on the fence about checking out agentic hype, just remember that most of this stuff is heavily subsidized at the moment. Right now is quite possible the only time you will see so much of it given away for free. Use it while you can.

I am now officially typingpoorly.com

Nicely done. The experience is so much better now. You nailed it, Todd

I'm so excited to be interviewed for a podcast tomorrow. I probably shouldn't say which, yet, but I have been a big fan of their work for ages. I'll keep you all posted when I'm given the green light to talk about it.

Them: SaaS is dead. Any idea can be prompted! Me: You can only imagine what other people have done already? Huh...

With as many problems I have had with @doordash, I swear their only claim to fame is "at least we aren't Uber Eats".

I think the conversations about AI lose so much nuance. I wonder if there are analogies we could make that have more weight to them than just debating the AI itself. I'll go first. As a snowboarder, I would rather see a 720 with some stank on it instead of some X-games 2360.

Messijo is still very rough around the edges, but I just learned that @bsky.app is using @growthbook.io for their feature flagging by using it.

Yeah... we know...

"next year" has been the year of the Linux desktop for 20+ years

Further proof that you are what you eat: If I ate as much cheesecake as I really wanted to, my blood would have the same consistency.

Another day another scam platform. This bags dot fun thing is BS. Nobody has permission to make a scam coin on my or my products' behalf. Biggest sign we are in a bubble? The crypto scam artists are getting involved.

I'm debugging a slow SQL query and I pasted the EXPLAIN ANALYZE results into @t3dotchat. It proceeded to roast me. > The Problem: 3 Rows became 5.8 Million Rows I may never recover from this

When it comes to Computer Science: BS = Bullshit MS = More Shit PHD = Piling it Higher and Deeper

Tired take with a bit of perspective: The current "flopping" trend in the NBA is worse than the era of calling travelling. They both impact the pace of the game, but jfc, I hate watching the "free throw olympics".

Didn’t the guy that looks like Kathy Bates buy twitter for free speech reasons?

Technology has gone too far. Behold the Rubiks dodecahedron (?)

I think something that software AI doomers overlook is that management still needs someone to absorb liability for negligence/etc. The first person to see jail time for the VW emissions scandal was the software engineer that implemented the "defeat device" even though it was a directive from above.

I was riding back from a night out in a Waymo and totally realized I could kill karaoke if I just sing like the dude from Electric Six. The song that made me realize this was Mr Jones by Counting Crows. Think about what that would even sound like… Yup

It was only a matter of time before StackOverflow started making their own AI.

Definitely satire, but this made be laugh: > But consider this: the more complicated we make our code now, the longer we hold off AI agents from wholly displacing us, killing our futures, and harvesting our organs. Build with that in mind! macarthur.me/posts/queue/
