I'm genuinely impressed by the sheer level of hatred Cloudflare UX/UI people have for their users.

Big index cleanup on my side project. Reminder: don't cross the streams - cross referencing models from other apps on your migrations.

Software developers: the house is barely standing, the roof leaks, the plumbing is shot, there's dry rot in the walls, the locks are all broken, whole thing will collapse in a strong wind Product manager: OK but I want a new kitchen extension and I need new wallpaper in the spare bedroom

Hearing a new version of PHP is out is like hearing that a band you followed back in the early 2000s, that you haven't listened to in years, and who you assumed broke up maybe 10 years ago, just put out a new album.

Does Keith Richards still own the copyright on it

Unless Jeffrey Epstein had a sideline in procuring furniture JD Vance should be safe.

The US Democrats are the equivalent of the Russian Communist Party. Not because they are in any way communist, but because they provide a useful fig-leaf of democratic legitimacy to the regime, as the RCP does for Putin.

US is really selling itself as a tourist mecca. Choose between its favourite theme parks, Airport Departure Lounge World or ICE Detention Center World

Just updated side project to Postgres 18. One little hiccup: volume path for Docker image in k8s should be /var/lib/postgresql not /var/lib/postgresql/data. Otherwise all good.

A C team opposition that won an election by default because the Tories had all but given up. They have no ideas or project beyond their focus groups and the 24 hour news cycle.

Anakin is the David Bowie of the Star Wars galaxy. He died at Mustafar like Ziggy Stardust at the Hammersmith Odeon, by the New Hope he's in the Thin Dark Lord phase but there's rumours it's not the same guy
