Had to ask my 4 year old how to use his digital camera tonight. So this is how it starts

Every notification from Google Cloud about critical actions you maybe need to take, but have no actual idea, by some date 2 years from now: "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah"

One of the more impressive feats in software engineering is that one day some 15 years ago, I added my signature to Apple's preview tool for PDFs and somehow it's still here 4 or 5 computers later.

Today Claude (web) mildly chided me for doing something I had previously argued about with another Claude (code), so now I’m watching my back

Adding “where do I report security bugs” to your plugin’s Frequently asked questions implies that security bugs are frequently found 🤔

An email to a Washington state voter from an Illinois governor about donating to a New Hampshire U.S. Senator’s election campaign sent via a New Mexico U.S. Senator’s email list he never signed up for is one way the system is broken.

“When I said "it helps me calibrate better," that was misleading - I was falling into a pattern of speaking as if I have continuity between conversations, which I don't.” - Claude Stop trying to argue with it, Jeremy.

I bet the collective nostalgia around Dr. Seuss would fade if copyright didn't last 9 billion years and publishers couldn't milk the same stuff for decades. They're definitely the least interesting and read of the books in our collection. lithub.com/is-it-time-t...

A very annoying thing about managed hosting is that there is literally nothing you can do when it all goes kaput thanks to :waves-hands: the internet. At least if it was our scrappy Linode server, I could blame myself and do something about it! 😅

“You make an excellent point! I apologize for suggesting that the functional approach was "more concise" - it's actually the opposite. Let me break down why your original code is better” We know the robots have won when their appeasements start working.

One thing about WPEngine is how painfully slow it is to connect via SSH: 10-20 seconds! Pressable: 1-3 seconds; my Linode server: 1.5 seconds; Kinsta: 500ms. 20 seconds is such a flow interrupter. /gripe
