No matter how many todo or planner apps I try, I always fall back to writing sticky notes and placing them all over my apartment.

I take back everything I said. This new administration is clumsy, reckless, and embarrassing.

Again, mostly rambling. I guess what I’m trying to say is there is something deeply broken in the progressive movement. And no, I don’t feel pressed to “fix it”. Since slavery we have leaned on black women for their activism. Count me out. I do not volunteer to take on this latest burden.

Also political messaging has consequences. A decade ago if one would have spent all their time focusing on liberal causes such as Occupy Wall Street and ‘eat the rich’ they would have missed: - best real estate investing market ever - crypto - the tech boom - heavily subsidized urban lifestyle

I post here, because I’m trying to clarify to myself how I feel about this political moment. Are Republicans in power my friends? - Probably not Is reform a cover for a power grab? - Definitely, but not 100% Could this end badly? - Yes

Also can’t we implement government spending reform without terrorizing immigrants, trans, and black people. Republicans aren’t wrong for wondering where’s the money going. Instead of reform, we’re replacing one grift for another grift. Le sigh.

1. The federal government is overdue for an audit. 2. Only authorized personnel should gain access to everyone’s SSN. Can’t 2 things be true at the same time? 🤷🏿‍♀️

You haven’t lived until you deleted you highest performing YT video. Definitely time for bed!

Is the whole mdx project being maintained by just one person? 😱 github.com/mdx-js/mdx/g...

Unpopular Opinion: Are you a tech founder and want alpha? Spend a year in North Carolina. You’ll see how people REALLY use AI. You’ll meet millionaires who kill cockroaches for a living (true story). Finally you’ll witness that hard work, not smarts wins the day.

Want to destroy any PEACE in your life? Listen to “The Political Gabfest” and “All-In”. Back to back.

I think Trump is a fraud, but I no longer have patience for the liberal party. We are so much more than our race, gender or our parent’s socio-economical background. I admire success. And I don’t make rude assumptions that all accomplished people received “family help”.

Good article on Trump’s appeal. There’s much about this piece I don’t relate to, but I understand the importance of yearning for greatness. thepointmag.com/politics/las...

Coding is now easier and faster than WordPress. The only thing that stops me from using next.js for all of my projects are themes.

Outlook is such a corporate tool. It prioritizes processes over productivity. Never worked with an email client that tried so hard to be indistinguishable from middle management.

Not sure where to get my news anymore. I actually agree that mainstream media is too tilted to the left and has become an unofficial mouthpiece for liberals. On the other hand, it’s been near impossible to find thoughtful analysis (positive and negative) on a Trump 2.0 government.

Pet peeve? Website builders that *still* have a hard time handling breakpoints. I’m used to responsive working out-of-the-box. This has been a solved problem for CSS frameworks for about a decade. Low-code needs to catch up.

It’s so funny that GitHub has a sub-section in their Settings page called “Developer Settings” My dude these are all developer settings

Honestly, AI tools make programming such a joy. I can build w/o all the bullshit that used to come with coding: No more dealing with “edge cases” No more dependency issues No more silly syntax errors

ChatGPT has been an absolute game changer in enabling me to actually ship applications. Spent years coding countless apps, just to abandon the 90% done projects because I was blocked or contended with an obscure bug. Coding with AI already makes pre-2022 seem like the old days.

Toxic trait? I’m a sucker for a nap. 😴

every so often I get a comment like "you should sell a bundle of all your zines" and I really worry about my marketing, like that is the main product we sell! (though you can def buy individual zines too) anyway we do have a bundle of all the zines and the PDF version is 50% off today :)

Social media is in desperate need of innovation. Meta is only letting you have a slice of control over what you see because Bluesky is here building for you.

Very cute predator. #catsofbluesky

Thank you Bluesky! 🙏🏾

Watched some of the Node documentary and now feeling old. Joyent drama which was a decade ago still feels like fresh drama.

Traffic on Bluesky is up 500% since the election. How will they handle the surge? www.npr.org/2024/11/19/g...

Since this is a safe space I can come out and say that I dislike dark mode. ▪️😤

I want to create an incubator that funds atproto/bluesky experimental projects to the tune of $5k-$10k dev grants. I am sorely tempted to call it “Chemtrails”, because it seeds the ATmosphere Hit me with your best ideas!

Honestly, curious to see how this new administration navigates governance in the 21st century. So much of our problem-solving infrastructure is stuck in the past.

Not thrilled to be democrat-by-default. Americans deserve an election where civil rights for all are table stakes.

Open Source was a ZIRP phenomenon. WordPress is showing us the code and resources never truly belonged to the community.

Entrepreneurship trick no one talks about- the power of building a business locally. 🤫

Establishing a niche invites endless doubt and overthinking.

Big problems, big potential. Which one will win out?

New followers! Enough motivation for me to dust off this account and start posting again.

Thanks @shawnbasquiat.bsky.social for liking ALL of my posts! 😁

Back. What did I miss? 👀

It’s been that type of day for me too! 💻➡️🪟🌊

This thread is great. 😂🍿

Trying to deal with uncertainty gracefully. Not easy.

since bluesky is so much smaller…anyone hiring a junior/entry-level engineer in NYC? i have about 1.5 years of experience as a SWE, but 9+ years of experience in other roles varying from social media to support engineer :)

Wow. What a day! So sleepy. 😴

Love background jazz and ☕️ amsr! https://www.youtube.com/live/yRt7NtfWxDM?feature=share

ACCURATE

Do we have other examples of scientists who later regretted their role in building a key technology? https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/1/23706311/hinton-godfather-of-ai-threats-fears-warnings

Had a super productive weekend. Looking forward to starting a new week and a new month! 🌤️

I need my Harriet tubman meme to come tf through

Folks don’t understand that @jay.bsky.team has been making big moves for quite some time! This isn’t her first rodeo.

Having a very productive day, and getting ready for May! 📆
