I figured out what my retirement hobby is gonna be. In about 20 years, I'm gonna start a quaint YouTube channel where I teach people how to build websites "by hand" like Bob Ross.

If your org needs evidence and strategy, I'm open to calls again starting next week. You can read all the research I base my work on, because it's open access. catharsisinsight.com

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

Has anyone else tried using Parental Control software for their Boomers?

NEW POST Will there be source code in the future? To wrestle with this, we have to understand what code is. Unmesh Joshi sees code as having two distinct but intertwined purposes: instructions to a machine and a conceptual model of the problem domain. martinfowler.com/articles/wha...

Today, Hyperadaptive is officially available! Huge congratulations to author Melissa M. Reeve! Get it today from your favorite bookseller.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

This is actually pretty amazing. It's so stark.

NEW: Secret Handshake installed working arcade games called Operation Epic Furious: Strait to Hell at the DC War Memorial. The game features "furious tweet battles against Iranian schoolgirls, low-flow shower heads, and other threats to American freedom like DEI and The Pope..."

Oh my god. I've just realized that archaeologists are basically dumpster divers. We are the trash pandas of academe, rooting around for treats in piles of ancient garbage. Raccoons.

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

It's so disheartening to watch this play out. "The end result is that organizations are actually leaking private data through vibe-coding applications" www.wired.com/story/thousa...

He was very weary; the day had been long, and full of dragons.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

this photo is going to be in a history book someday and I suspect only one of them knows it

I don't think that's the only option. New episode with Angie Jones -> buff.ly/IhEL8tw

Honestly I'm betting this tracks pretty well with LGBTQ adults. Like I don't care about "I support trans people! Repost if you do too!" on your timeline. I care about do you never fail to correctly gender us even when we annoy you or make you angry.

Inspired by this conversation, I wrote a blog post about identity and progressive delivery: fusionauth.io/blog/progres...

Perfect, no notes.

Baz: Gotta say, being 2 hours from Chicago seems more attractive than 90 minutes from Albuquerque. Megan: The crime documentaries seem more interesting, anyway. Baz: Why is crime in Albuquerque so depressing, bro? Megan: They can't afford the good stuff.

And yes, learn to code. Still. And be aware of the dynamics that make it much harder to get hired these days, especially for college grads. 10 years ago, knowing how a compiler works, didn't mean that you would get a job hand-compiling code, or even working on a compiler, or designing languages.

Everyone needs to watch this. @darthbluesky.bsky.social you need more goats.

Important update from Baby Animal Dinner Time: Apollo is super big mad because he got a bottle first and now all the other babies are having bottles and it's NOT FAIR.

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

Really looking forward to this chat with @mooreds.com Should be a great conversation about @progressivedelivery.com and the intersection of Auth and Identity.

Next week I get to chat with @azimman.bsky.social about Progressive delivery. He literally wrote the book on it. We'll talk about what progessive delivery is, how identity and authn fit into it, and more. I don't think signup is up yet, but it'll be at fusionauth.io/webinar eventually.

I keep thinking about that person who skeeted about cabbage being the vegetable of the year or whatever saying "oh it's going to be a *recession* recession."

Wrote up my thoughts...the ruminating took awhile - there are a few threads that I'd like to keep pulling on and it was hard to keep this post to the one thing. www.bettyjunod.com/blog/the-spa...

It's only redistricting if you do it in the District of Columbia, otherwise it's just sparkling gerrymandering.

Favorite scene in All The President’s Men: Woodward & Bernstein attend White House Correspondents Dinner, hobnob with Nixon Administration officials, have such a swell time that they back off Watergate investigation so they don’t lose their access.

"Cloud is too expensive, let's build a data center." If your engineering team hears this and doesn't immediately look ill, they haven't done this before. An AZ is a data center. You're not simplifying. duckbillhq.com

"Funny and distressingly realistic...propelled by awesome characters and inventive twists” — Andy Weir Silicon Valley invents the time machine in my upcoming book PARADOX INC, now available for preorder everywhere! Here's a look inside from @people.com: people.com/paradox-inc-...

The neighbors invited us to a birthday party for their kiddo. Homemade street tacos, watermelon juice, a bouncy castle, a placid baby being passed around. This is what the neighborhood should feel like.

Secret URLs. Special webpages. People learning how to send letters again. And way more mail than we ever expected. A goofy idea that turned into one of the most fulfilling things we've ever done: www.gamefile.news/p/panic-mail...

@bettyjunod.bsky.social I feel like this is either a project of a overgraduate in psychology or the partial script of Jerry Maguire 2: Too many agents, again.

This is the way.

A better world is possible. Love these tipping points.

My favorite scene from the Bible

This tree in London looks full of leaves but is actually covered in parakeets.

They’re continuing to use this word and I refuse to correct them… instead I am going to support them and popularize the use of overgraduates.

Younger kiddo had a field trip today to Cal; best line of the day was: Kid: “We met with a bunch of students and what you told me was wrong, they said all their classes are taught by professors not overgraduates.” Me: “Overgraduates” Kid: “Yeah, the older students, not the undergraduates.” 🧐
