I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Oh, the nostalgia! 512pixels.net/2025/12/five...

warn you of the fate Proven true to late Your tongue twist perverse Come drink now of this curse And now I fill your brain I spin you round again My poison fills your head As I tuck you into bed You feel my fingertips You won't forget my lips You'll feel my cold breath It's the kiss of death

To new parents: this is what good parenting looks like. (As well as good taste in literature.)

Sometimes, I find myself working with people so bad at their job that I cannot decide between screaming at them or just killing myself.

My stance on pull requests and PRs as a means to collaborate on code has shifted from critical to simply hateful. PRs are BS.* * within the context of in-house, closed source development.

This is not a hotel co-working space, this is the Wuhan sewers. If I survive the stench of these occupants' meal, I'll die from their miasmas.

I’ve made a tradition for myself when in Stockholm: dining a Jappi. The only restaurant in know there where nobody speaks English, and the menu is in Swedish only. It’s always fun to order Asian food at random.

You're dead, I'll be like you You'll be like me, I'll be dead too Emotionally, the new Health is brutal.

Hot take: Maiden’s “Brave New World” is not the masterpiece some claim it is. Writing-wise, it is very close to X-Factor (which is awesome) and Virtual XI (the worst). And its production is as bland as Virtual XI’s. It’s only popular because of Dickinson’s return.

Not to brag, but…

My God this album is so good.

I need a haircut.

Some people really can't get into their heads that meetings aren't free. Inviting people “just in case”: the corporate poster child for negative externalities.

I’m watching a 1971 episode of Columbo and the thing I’m paying the most attention to is the omelette he’s making. (I don’t approve of the way he minced the onions.)

Highly recommended.

I am truly blessed with knowing some great people.

Had a lovely time at tiny ruby by @helsinkiruby.fi 💎🇫🇮❤️ Fantastic talks, relaxed vibe, great conversations at the after party and a tram + walking tour with Ruby friends in this perfect city 🥰 my heart is so warm despite the cold outside!

-5°C today. I’m double-socking.

Sarah’s talk on good OO design principles to be learned from Ruby’s Boolean at Tiny Ruby #{conf} is packed with wisdom. Awesome.

Really tempted by a Verge bike. (Thankfully there’s no way I can afford one.)

We need a Yelp for airport bathrooms.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

Around 2008, Billy Idol wrote a (killer) song about a fighter jet. Nobody is as cool as that.

TIL: gh pr checkout Continually requesting minor revisions from authors in pull requests is completely unproductive. That's why I've started using this feature to fix them myself instead.
