fun news! I was laid off from Twilio. going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week. if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along! reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

Omfg I’m going to scream. Transformer models are actually really powerful, it is such a waste of everyone’s time and money that we are pouring all this energy into chatbots and not directly applying these models to real problems. Alphafold3 can solve protein folding problems chatGPT cannot

Okay y’all, in honor of my 50th birthday in a few weeks, I’m crowdsourcing a “celebration fund” - $50 for 50 years - to help me get some things out of pawn and pay a few bills. I’d love it if you can, but if you can’t, if you could amplify this message I’d really appreciate it.

This interview @kball.llc and I did with with @tomocchino.com was really fun, especially for me as I was working in the codebase React was born out of at the time! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qOl...

🎙️ The new era of developer workflows @kball.llc and @nicknisi.com unpack how AI coding tools are transforming their dev work in 2025—productivity gains mixed with the anxiety of watching their craft evolve into something where directing AI might replace coding. dysfunctional.fm/episodes/the...

Geeking out with the @dysfunctional.fm crew about LLMs and their impact on software dev: dysfunctional.fm/episodes/the...

I really enjoyed digging into this topic. The concept from @kball.llc of essentially unlimited demand for software really changes the way you think about the future of software engineering.

Feross and team are the real deal. They are aiming squarely at one of the most painful and dysfunctional parts of modern development, and continue doing great work to help developers deal with it.

🥲 One last JS Party. The final episode of JS Party is now out. Thanks to @changelog.com for a wonderful run! changelog.com/jsparty/350

@avohq.io hey folks getting all avo-advanced package installs (and hence all bundler installs using avo-advanced) failing due to an SSL error on packager.dev -- any alternates or workarounds?

Welcome back to Here Comes The Sun! We start later today, the solstice, the very shortest and darkest day of the year. Every day I'll tell you exactly how much longer the day was than the day before, until we get to the precious daylight savings day.

Me and every parent I know right now

Had a fun conversation with @lcas.dev about Deno 2.0 on @softwaredaily.bsky.social softwareengineeringdaily.com/2024/12/18/d...

My Space heater is definitely one of my top work from home perks

Me, having *mostly* conquered my needle phobia: Right after vaccine: That wasn’t so bad… 12 hours later: Ah, so this is what it’s like to only have one functional arm

I’m not really a part of #booksky but just want to say the Ten Thousand Doors of January is phenomenal - gave me chills and make me exclaim out loud multiple times

If you want to continue the party with myself, @kball.llc, and @selfteachme.bsky.social follow along at dysfunctional.fm!

It's a good time to re-introduce myself to new followers and give an update! I'm unexpectedly on the job market after abrupt layoffs at AWS and am looking for a new opportunity on an education-focused engineering team. I have 24 years' experience as a software engineer, dev advocate, and team lead

Had a great time diving into the latest updates to @nextjs.org with @timneutkens.bsky.social and @feedthej.im softwareengineeringdaily.com/2024/12/05/n...

Reviewing resumes in the age of LLMs is such a pain. Tons of nonsense "quantifiable impact" statements (e.g. this gem from one I just looked at: "Ensured reliable software releases by 35% with CI/CD pipelines") and a number of them that were clearly generated specifically based on the job post.

Part 1 of our interviews from @reactsummit.gitnation.org is out with @kball.llc and myself interviewing @kentcdodds.com and @t3.gg. Give it a listen!

At an actual movie theater for first time in a decade and… I’d forgotten how bad the pre movie ads are. Do people actually choose to do this regularly? I guess if you do you know to show up late?

I really don't mind if a conference talk is about the product they work on. But I want it to be about challenges overcoming in making the product by an engineer who works on it instead of a sales pitch by a devrel. Keep that in mind when submitting to #EpicWebConf 🚀

devs! want to build something on #atproto but not sure where to start? check out this "Call for Projects" with a bunch of ideas, ranging from protocol frameworks, to entire apps, to bots

I'm logging into a server halfway across the continent... Flying 500mi/hr 30,000 feet in the air... Listening to my personal choice of music streamed from a library of millions of songs... And doing it to handle a stupid code issue that I should have fixed a year ago. 🤪

That feeling when you’re sitting next to an empty seat on the plane and watching the last few people boarding, wondering which one is going to crush your hopes.

the cyclical nature of moving things off the CPU die into accelerators, and then moving them back onto the CPU die as the industry rediscovers that the principle of locality exists...

Fortunate to be interviewing industry leaders today at #ReactSummit with @kball.llc. Check out this 🔥 view!

Pretty sweet views from the tower where we’re interviewing folks at #ReactSummit
