I wouldn't wish trying to get multi-national company A to get multi-national company B to update their health care records about you when company A made a mistake on my worst enemy.

Let’s gooooo!

Kicking off the day before the #TSITP finale with @evanphx.dev declaring, “I just can’t respect anyone who lets people call her Belly. BELLLLY?!?!” 🤣

✌🏻 Let’s go boys! Fight On!

Couldn't find one, so Claude and I ported the gutter part of gitsigns.nvim to jj. Enjoy! github.com/evanphx/jjsi...

lol. ESPN/YoutubeTV is starved for football, clearly. (This is a multi-view suggestion for the same game twice)

Oh Claude, you're so cute sometimes:

if andrew cuomo hates socialism so much why did he choose to be publicly owned

The OJ verdict, in the gym with PE class.

To everyone at RailsConf (#railsconf): It’s been a privilege to work, learn, and laugh with you over the past two decades. It’s been so touching to hear your stories over this last week and it’s a point of pride that I can call you all friends. See you all on the flipside. 🥳🥰

I hope I did him proud with this fox. Long live _why!

Currently 42 mins into a “take the train to LAX” experiment! So far, quiet, easy, uneventful! There is a bus at the end of this because the LAX People Mover is open yet. Oh, and the cost: $1.75

Butthole Surfers had it right: Cinnamon and sugary And softly spoken lies You never know just how you look Through other people's eyes

A great example of AI not seeing the forest for the trees: I'm writing an AsciiDoc parser and a Claude generated test for inline styles was: "*bold*, _italics_, `monospace`". So what did Claude generate to parse that? Code that parses a string with styles in that exact order.

In week 5 of a large scale experiment with letting generative AI code, where I try to take my hands off the wheel as often as possible. One insight the last week is that AI can't usually see the forest for the trees, instead it just sees an infinite sequence of similar trees.

My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

I'm sitting in a (quite nice) airport foot court and was just thinking about how we all know that smart phones changed how people spend their downtime (glancing about that's true) and if AI/voice is next platform, what will this food court look like? 75% of the people talking to the air?

Today, @evanphx.dev ran some slang by the kids, saying, “so does anyone say this?” Our 10yo, after the full-body cringe of hearing her dad say it passed: “…WELL. NOT. ANYMORE.” 😅

I've been a startup CEO (again) for bit now and I can say that one of the most important decisions thus far was having @aphoenix.bsky.social as Miren's COO. The care and time she takes in managing critical parts of running a business really shows and I can't imagine doing it without her.

Headed on a long-ish trip in a couple weeks so decided to try out traveling a pair of XReal One AR/monitor glasses (I haven't tried glasses like this at all yet). Playing with them today, discovered an unexpected benefit: *Reduced* eye strain than normal because my eyes can focus further out!

After trying multiple times, I’m putting out a request: use a AI coding tool to build “a simple document viewer that runs with bun”. I’m looking at how the tools work and every time I try this, Claude gets completely lost just trying to get the most basic thing to run. Screen recording is best!

grew up with the media depiction where they rip out a guy’s still-beating heart and eat monkey brains and we still managed to win all the spelling bees m, I think the white boys can survive the message of “don’t be a rapist”

Is this my new most often quoted article? Yes, yes it is. www.theatlantic.com/family/archi...

In these uncertain times, let me quote @andr3wsky.bsky.social: acab also includes the fun police. The sweetest revenge is living well.

Now that’s what I call a taco! #tacotown #guacamalito #deepfriedtilgoldenbrown

RIP Val Kilmer. You are forever our huckleberry.

📻 Join @evanphx.dev as he discusses with @robbyonrails.com the importance of confidence and clarity in coding over the pursuit of perfection. Don't miss it. 🎧 Listen here! buff.ly/JcJ606X

March Madness is the answer to the question: “SO YOU LIKE COLLEGE BASKETBALL????”

Let’s fucking go!

If you’ve ever wanted a Visual Studio Code for Nintendo Switch, definitely check this out. Supports USB keyboards (!), write your own games, great for the kids www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

I just gave my 13yo my copy of The Crucible to read and I’m on the verge of tears now, both from the sweetness of sharing a recommendation from my own teen years and the bitterness of how it’s more relevant now than it was in my youth.

What happens if you try to take a photo of a lunar eclipse on a Samsung phone? Does their Moon AI thing override the eclipse!?

Hey LA, you earthquakin’?

Let’s go www.yahoo.com/news/no-amaz...

For our 19th wedding anniversary last night, LA gifted me and @evanphx.dev a car chase that ended super dramatically basically on our doorstep. www.foxla.com/news/la-poli... (our place is briefly visible in this vid, but the news misidentifies the intersection, so… 😉) What will it do for 20?!?

www.nps.gov/ston/index.htm If you go to that NPS page, at the bottom, it has a prompt that asks "was this page helpful?" Click, "No" and it will prompt a suggestion box. Go forth and unleash the wrath🔥

“Timecop” a movie from 1994 about 2004 so accurately predicted 2024 that it makes me worried politicians out there traveling in time.

Call your reps or I, Frankie Muniz, will cancel the Malcolm reboot

Just tried to do a `docker build` on the smallest AWS Lightsail instance and after 30 seconds, it just ground to a complete halt. Monitoring shows it went way into the "burstable" range, but wow the product experience is awful. You're using a thing and just *poof* no longer works because you use it

Ummm, what? Is someone exploiting YouTube notifications?

We are excited to be backing veteran open source infrastructure developer Evan Phoenix and Miren on their journey to deliver cloud computing’s first major upgrade in decades. blueyard.medium.com/miren-bd717a...

I’m so excited to finally get to talk about what Evan and I have been cooking up for the last few months! It’s been so fun already, and there’s so much ahead. Wanna follow along on the Miren journey? Sign up for updates at miren.dev

Whew, took me a little while to get back to y’all, but I’m so excited to announce my next chapter: taming software deployment through my new company, Miren (@miren.dev)! blog.miren.dev/the-start-of...

Omg this AD-Luka trade.

Reminder: LA folks, come check out our LIVE podcast Monday! Will be doing segments with my pals, as well as an interview—and performance?!—with the Rams’ Kobie Turner. 100% of proceeds go to wildfire relief. Plus: free merch and snacks 🙌 Will also hang for pics after 🤗 Minapodlive.com
