Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

I understand that something has to put food on the table but it would be very nice if Steve Yegge stays quiet for some time.

Bro @firefox.com, what is this unholy "Sent from Firefox" postscript that gets added to link sharing? Seriously uncool.

I think this will be my lasting legacy at Personio.

topicpartition.io/blog/postgre... Great read, the second half is a bit more philosophical but way more crucial to socialise. Very pragmatic advice from @stanislavkozlovski.bsky.social! "Just use Postgres until it breaks."

Such a pity that the .us TLD does not offer WHOIS protection.

"How X saves on hundreds of API calls by using a single image" style LinkedIn slop talking about.... Sprites. Oh lord.

If dhh and rauchg want to compete for who's the bigger fool, they should just get into a boxing ring and tough it out.

Watching this very reputed engineer / C suite person having a very public parasocial relationship with an LLM. I'm hoping it's some stunt, otherwise it's quite disturbing to observe.

The worst thing about DHH is what an insufferable asshole he is. The best thing about DHH is that he never lets us forget or grovel for evidence as to why he's an insufferable asshole. Open display in that recent blog post, insane.

There's no gatekeeping in this house, so I hope you enjoy this reimagination of the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack as much as I did! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufki...

A classic real world use case that needs speed, tradeoff between precision and approximation, exercise of judgement, application of ethics and reacting to realtime updates is already available for anyone that cares to test their claims of AGI. It's called autonomous driving.

Listen, time for some crazy talk. How about we all settle on a simple notion that if your business hasn't been around for more than a year, you don't really have an ARR.

What an insane cover. Metallica's "Enter Sandman" by The Warning. youtu.be/-stoqv5W8RM?...

What do all companies have in common? Some aspirational concept that's called Polaris.

I've been a bit steadfast in not using AI in one area of work, and that is to write feedback for peers. But I don't think the same courtesy is extended likewise by others. Requested feedback from multiple teammates and all of these responses are AI generated with prompt for direction.

Me: "Posting a document within the city. How long could it take?" German immigration office: "Hold my beer." If I chiselled the card by hand, tiptoed all the way from the immigration office to the workshop, back to the office and then to my home, it would have taken less time than this.

Yungblud's cover of "I was made for lovin' you" by KISS was really cool! Kinda miss the playful absurdity of the original though. youtu.be/gaD55NqPJA0?...

How fresh! Take on Me by Pacifica- www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw2u...

Oooohhh, Rick Astley has a cover of Pink Pony Club and it's banging- www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vF2...

There are too many "Death of the Developer" bullshit takes floating around. They annoy me on the good days and cause me deep anxiety on the bad days. I'll add just one of my observations to this.

Is 2025 the year of music videos?? Talking Heads put out a video for Psycho Killer featuring Saoirse Ronan and it is SO GOOD! Love the chaos in the visuals www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ54...

500 rps is actually respectable throughput to have handled as a messaging platform, saw someone represent it as 1B requests per month. Felt artificial, simply to represent the 9 figure number.

Signed. I hope the Bluesky team listens!

I don't think buying decaf coffee itself was a mistake but buying 500g of decaf coffee for a one person household was definitely a mistake.

Omg, Lynyrd Skynyrd put out an official video for Free Bird! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQNR...

Ciclo Cafe in Kotturpuram, Chennai used to have it on their menu. The veggie version though, IIRC. 2 people could eat one portion.

Why are we like this!? I love this comic from Sarah Andersen:

Mother of God, I wanted to escape that godawful Nazi run site, so I came here. No one prepared me for the liberals foaming at the mouth infesting this place. Unpleasant surprise.

I haven't started promoting it yet but we got our first customer for @diversifytech.com's Talent Network! ☺️🎉

Anti-cop poster spotted in Seattle

Oh boy, this topic. Maybe I'll write a paper called "Copmany engineering blog considered harmful" one day. Most company engineering blogs present aspirational and glamorous work, but it's not representative of a typical workload. It's a talent attraction maneuver, not a knowledge sharing one.

I think I'm ready to pour oil on the word "champion" and burn it. This champion, that champion. Corporate initiatives are beyond parody.

If you are an Indian national or NRI or OCI with some pull in Indian media and any degree of interest in protecting vulnerable Indian nationals in the US, please get in touch. We have work to do and I need to coordinate help.

"Mr. Campbell, who cares?"

There are people who have a koolaid firehouse strapped to their mouth going around saying things like "making ... codebases AI friendly." What an interesting time to live in.

As far as I've seen, Munich has a very boring sticker/graffiti scene. Very little of it is radical in any sense.

The word vibe was already on its way out but its usage in vibe-coding really shoved it out and slammed the door on it.

"Careless people" is actually a very very very accurate term that I would use to describe people at Facebook with steering power. Great choice of words.

Bought a pair of Chelsea boots and my god, I was not prepared for this assault on my heels.

Progress is not linear, so we persevere.

here you go friend, you can copy and paste as necessary: 3 e d

Extremely suspicious of people who use 3-4 single nouns separated by periods in their socials.

It's kinda funny how I can debug frontend issues but I can't fix them. What stage of your career is that

Generally a fan of Steve Yegge, but the blogpost "Death of the Stubborn Developer" is at best part truth, part koolaid sales and part fearmongering. It was somewhat irritating to read through it after a point.
