Sometimes trying to get CI to pass on an OSS project feels like a fucking Souls-like run.

watchu know about `lint && jj absorb` 🥵🥵

Need. Don't have a pool, but.

Sometimes I'm like "I'm pretty average at my job" until I do some community work and try to help someone with their project and then I'm like, uhm I actually seem to be kind of an expert. I mean it should go without saying after like 12 years of doing this but apparently my brain doesn't agree.

My kid has a music class and every week the teacher tries to send the same blonde kid home w me. And every week I’m like “that’s not my kid”. Then she starts looking for my (mixed race) kid’s mom everywhere until I’m like “yes hello I am indeed still her white mom just like last week”

Did a talk about building a WebSockets server in PHP and encouraged people to contribute to Ratchet (a WS library in PHP), and a guy came up afterwards to ask for advice on how to make his first contribution to OSS. He just messaged me with a link to his first PR (it's for Ratchet) 🥹

My friend got notes all over his building from a girl he had eye contact with on a tram. Trying to find “guy in Doc Marten loafers” like a real-life male Cinderella. They’ve been on several dates now. She is incredibly hot and cool. He cheeses HARD. This story may sustain me for like 5 years.

I’d love to learn more about quantum computing but unfortunately I know fuck all about physics, and therefore any resource reads like the sci-fi book your weird cousin’s been trying to write since high school 20 years ago.

Why do sales guys take calls that are, like, super loud? Are they worried the client doesn't have volume controls?

It's so funny how LLMs are pretty much useless for most real-life use cases without tool calling or RAG, and so tools will be like "thinking... executing function xyz..." Congrats, you just made a web app of ten microservices wearing a trench coat.

Always love to see great talent using their platform for unabashed good.

Remember to thank Rebecda Black today for inventing Fridays, we honor her today on Black Friday

I’m finishing up the last recordings for my Git course. Most of them were taken this summer at the peak of my body recomp, where I wasn’t drinking alcohol, avoiding sugars, gluten, dairy etc. It’s absolutely insane how different my face looks in today’s recordings

I spent all night slipping in and out of consciousness thinking the phrase “Site Reliability Vibe Engineer”

Omg

Did you know everything always gets better? Even if only for a while, it's enough to stay around.

New headshot. Basically identical but corrected for weight loss. Had to do it!!

Whomst among us hasn't felt a little vacuum about snackie all done

“Don’t step on my hoed, please go om it heen” is the most severe case of Dunglish uttered by my kid to date

Any time I’m out by myself people will ask me “where’s your kid right now?” with this puzzled look as if she doesn’t have a dad she lives with half the time I’ve taken to telling them I left her to roam the streets by herself. Sometimes they believe me for a few seconds.

Pushing back beating Hollow Knight because I know I’d have to get Silksong immediately and I just don’t know if I want to subject myself to that kind of stress yet

A hill I will die on is that it is and always has been “bitchy resting face” and not “resting bitch face”. It’s when your resting face looks bitchy! Not when your bitch face is resting??? Makes zero sense, idk why everyone collectively deluded themselves into switching the words around

I love when people send cold emails that I ignore and then send a follow up going “just circling back!” Baby there was no circle! It was just you there, it was a dash at most! Now dash along

Yeah. Whatever, lol. If anyone truly believes MTG is a changed person I have several bridges to sell you.

Dude jj goes so hard. The conference trail boutta get SICK of me.

What I love about Amsterdam commuting: I’m a bike ninja. What I hate about Amsterdam commuting: Everyone else is incompetent

Genuinely what is the added value of using this sort of phrasing in documentation? At best it doesn't communicate anything about usage, and at worst it makes the user feel incompetent if they can't figure it out.

The worst thing about this city is that it’s small enough to run into people you don’t want to run into, but big enough to never run into who you do.

Can't believe I'm saying this but...

Whichever PO came up with that Zip game on LinkedIn is a true communist hero saboteur. Imagine tricking the board into thinking their daily active user North Star is reflective of actual economic value. Brilliant play.

More than managing WIP I'm finding git worktrees really handy for comparing the state of different branches without having to `diff` stuff

My feed right now

Ah great I thought I'd go to the local office for the first time and I've already offended a Flemish man by saying his accent is fairly Dutch-sounding.

array_map should have a flag to filter out null values

OpenAI bleeding money starts to make sense once you have to work with their APIs and start running into all the bizarro deprecations and BC breaks for things that were newly released not even a year ago I guess they're really doing that "go fast break things" thing huh

yes

I'm sad over a guy that doesn't even have the same sense of humor as me. Literally never happened before. Could this mean I'm now attracted to men who are good people over just being funny..? Could this mean... I am healed?!

I finally met everyone on my team last week and they're a bunch of lovable freaks, it's great.

Can’t believe you call these strawberries. How can you live like this?!
