My favorite AI is the Frenchman attacked by a cat. Claude.

When one door closes another PR opens.

I listened to Depeche Mode's "Violator" recently. Sounds so much better on a nice car stereo than a Magnovox Boom box in the 90's. Nothing special from perspective of the musician's abilities, but still a solid album.

"You're absolutely right!" A phrase I yearned for so many years. Now I hear it so often from #Copilot it triggers me.

Agree whole-heartedly. Make the change easy, then make the easy change. It's rarity correlates to our massive amount of tech-debt. #professionalism #passion

Absolutely fantastic #hawkeye production here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDDX... I love the "story" of sports. This story was told so well. Even if you're not into #sportsBall, watch this video to understand why some are. #FightFightFightForIowa

AI Generated videos on YouTube are something else.

The future is bright! www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9gh...

Bout time to head to mall and get my shopping done

I want a bumper sticker "I ❤️ OCD" placed off center and at an angle.

My superpower is that I can see inside wrapped presents. It's a gift.

It's funny how a kids movie can engrain a lifetime mantra for an adult. #Robots

Interesting flash back. Reminds me of HS and College when all of this was new. There was so much to understand and conceptualize. My learning hasn't stopped, but I'm glad it's not being formally tested each week.

I think my #WhiteElephan gift this year will be the largest box I got from Amazon, containing all the other boxes I received. Someone else can deal with the disposal. I'll throw in a scratcher for good measure.

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

Hi, it's me again. I'm reposting this today because a whole lot of people who saw this yesterday told me they appreciated it. Know this: I believe in you. If you need permission to have some quiet space for yourself, here it is. <3

I wore my noise cancelling headphones to dinner with my wife. I thought she'd be mad, but I didn't hear any complaints

To all my dev friends deserving special attention on #VetsDay. Thank you for your service, and thank you for the opportunity for a #dadJoke “I told my server it was Veterans Day, so it took a moment of silence... then rebooted.”

My flexibility wasn't good so I started doing lunges. It was a big step forward for me.

2022-09-25 was last time #Vikes beat #Lions. 5 games and 769 days. Prior to 2022-09-25, the longest #Vikings drought was 5 games, 1,144 days between 1961 and 1964. #Lions longest drought was 13 games, 2,192 days between 1968 and 1974.

Be careful listening to advice on "AI-assisted" coding that's born out of small, self-contained projects undertaken by people working alone. You run the risk of running your marathon using strategies that worked for the first 100m.

I'm NOT a country fan, but lately I've been delving into songs from yesteryear. Been hooked on this one lately for some reason. #EastBoundAndDown #SmokeyAndTheBandit www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOgU...

beautiful

I hope #Hawkeyes beat #Gophers and keep #Floyd home. Behind the bronze pig is more than a rivalry — it’s a story of race, respect, and resilience that started in 1934. stories.uiowa.edu/ozzie-simmons-floyd-rosedale

anyone remember when this was the future? #maxHeadroom

Halloween Candy is the hors-d'oeuvres of Winter Weight season.

My kid just asked for a USB 2.0 mini-B cable to charge his calculator. I found one in under a minute!!! Reminder kids: Never throw away anything, and periodically organize and label your box-O-wires JUST IN CASE! One day those hours of prep will pay off (and only internet nerds may care).

We could have an argument about the most important vowel, but I would win.

One of these is not like the others

I had a wonderful conversation with Brian Milner CST on the Agile Mentors Podcast. Listen tomorrow! www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/agile/podcast

So refreshing to stop talking about ways of working and just do the work. The team did such a great job. Super-awesome to see motivated people solve real problems for people. There are still a LOT of ways teams can improve. We're not done learning.

If you don’t know the phrase Iowa Touchdown, it was coined after Iowa won a game this way in 2022. This happened on the same day Jordan and Commish met in person for the first time at the ULM at Texas game.
