The “latency” graphs drop. Hopefully that’s not revenue you’re looking at 😁

Is this just our new normal? Women being arrested if a cop doesn’t like how they miscarried, and lawmakers debating whether to put us to death before breaking for fucking lunch? Has everyone lost their minds?

The maternal mortality rate rose in Texas *33%* since they banned abortion.

I guess that, as between my two countries, I’m feeling more Canadian than I thought these days, because “Canada provides big piece of public firefighting equipment to LA, where it gets grounded by a an American exercising his sacred freedom to fly drones just wherever” feels very on the nose to me.

Gotta be one of the best writers about software around

Very hard to teach an organization to interact as teams when they've normalized as interacting as individuals. No one even knows what they're doing wrong when they message someone privately instead of dropping a message for a team to pick up. They don't see the centralization of experience and power

Is it too early for “skeet of the year” award?

The reason Silicon Valley is so powerful and annoying is because Oakland lost their sports teams. Without raider fans acting as an apex predator the nerds became too abundant

It is my humble opinion that LinkedIn should have an eye-rolling emoji as an option for Reactions ✨

On Wednesday, my car break-in legislation goes into effect. SB 905 ends the absurd loophole requiring proof not just of a break-in but also that all doors were locked. So if you don’t recall locking the door or a visitor who rented a car is no longer here, the case can be lost. No longer.

Lucky me, we have both models at home 🙃

You’ll be missed Ben 💫 Rest in peace buddy 🖤

Honestly, the Let's Encrypt folks don't get nearly enough credit for basically protecting the entire fucking internet, by making it absolute bog standard to encrypt everything. It happened so fast and so many people were skeptical.

This post made two things clear for me: 1. I will never want to work for Brian 2. I’d love to work with Charity one day. Read it if you haven’t already, well worth the time.

Mulling over the encounter last night where I had to leap into a yard to avoid being hit by middle schoolers riding bikes at high speed on a sidewalk: cyclists on sidewalks irritate me deeply, but not as much as the car infrastructure that pushes them to ride on sidewalks.

Yes! The credible exit is SO important -- and is exactly what is annhilated by these license changes. I would love to magically appear in board meetings of OSS companies and read this post aloud to them...

How long does it usually take you to start reviewing PRs opened by your colleagues?

anyone with node-ffi experience wanna chat? trying to use Neon to write some bindings and I have approximately 10,000 questions

Read the phrase “Diversity is protective” today and I’ve been thinking in ways in which this statement is true but also false. Fun thought exercise.

apple should halt all development on "apple intelligence" and instead fix MacOS Mail bugs, especially those that surround their issues with cache invalidation. I don't feel like I can trust the damn thing.

The most annoying problem for Zero's launch was what bug tracker to use. GitHub is way too slow, and Linear doesn't have public bugs or permissions – both required for OSS projects. This was driving me nuts, until I realized the only possible solution… ⏩ bugs.rocicorp.dev/issue/0

Artist Rachel Kenaston shared an email with me saying UnitedHealth Group filed a DMCA claim to stop her from selling a merchandise with HER artwork of Luigi Mangione. There was no United logo on the design, just Luigi. How does that infringe on UnitedHealth IP or copyright at all?

We have more in common with homeless people vs people that make $10 mil a year.
