Remember when AI videos had extra limbs and we could tell they are AI and would point and laugh at them? Yeah I miss that too 😒

It sure is surreal to be sitting here watching all of US tech infrastructure slowly reach a point of Going Solid as the over extraction of value by relentlessly pursuing efficiency leads to the inevitable outcome… brittleness

TL;DR Middle management is hard. Caring is required, but the kind of care you provide matters.

This, so much. In my career, the people who made the biggest verbal performance of being "good allies" were so rarely the people who actually helped grow my career or had my back during technical conflict. Actions speak louder than words and are what actually builds trust.

So much this. I don’t wanna tell a bunch of younger women the traumas I experience to get here. I don’t wanna normalize it.

Yep. I don’t promote mine and I even don’t like to bring it up when men explain databases to me (yes that still happens) High Performance MySQL 4th edition learning.oreilly.com/library/view...

I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other

Reading this made me want to walk into the sea

the last 24 hours on X, summed up:

No seriously. Talk to the kids AND block Roblox entirely in your home network.

Made Belgian waffles with ghee instead of butter and I fear this is now the most perfect waffle in existence

Most days it’s “yeah Silvia breaks tech” and then days where “Silvia broke everything today” Guess which one I’m having

School of rock still absolutely holds up.

I bought a new keyboard for my desk I don’t really need to enjoy the impending workday 🫣

This is an Apple. It tastes like a pear.

Anytime you feel the job is too big or “I am not sure I can do this” remember…. We made a 4chan dude secretary of defense

What do you MEAN Mr. Robot premiered a whole decade ago???? 👵🏼

Man. Last week was so much fun reading a cool nerdy book.

I hate how accurate this is

To give Kyle some credit, he's been writing (and speaking) brilliantly and beautifully for years on a variety of topics

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

I mean either they really are that stupid or they think we are.

Bitch please a lot of Americans barely even remember Jan 6th

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Chicago has been fighting ICE everyday in their streets meanwhile their senator sold their healthcare for some thanksgiving flights.

Remember how all the republicans who voted for the ACA got primaried and voted out? Yes I want my blue tea party. Fuck those imbeciles

Democrats continue to be the stupidest to ever do politics

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

Oh for the love of Sharing, since I just googled these so I could leave angry voicemails telling these motherfuckers to hold the line Schumer's DC office number: 202-224-6542 Gillibrand's DC office number: (202) 224-4451

From my friend Kyle. This is essential reading for all Americans. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I appreciate the attached video cus no way would I have believed this was an actual direct quote otherwise

Currently available in early release for O’Reilly subscribers: www.oreilly.com/library/view... and it’ll be properly published and widely available from February

Burned through half the second edition of Designing Data Intensive Applications in one day It is that good.

Nancy Pelosi’s trades over the years have been so good that a startup was created to allow investors to directly mirror her portfolio.

No one is talking about how Tuesday was a good election night DESPITE the capital C Democratic Party. Far as I’m concerned they own none of that good night (least of all the new NY mayor) and I still wanna see Schumer and Jeffries thrown out as leaders.

Opening up the early release of Designing Data Intensive Applications on this PTO as one does. @martin.kleppmann.com this way more than just “a second edition update” and I’m here for it 🤓

I saw this last week and didn’t wanna repost it but I guess it’s real? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMp3dYAx/

Why yes I DO exist to ruin the workplace.

But the ADL is worried about Mamdani

Ok buddy

People still matter. Good morning.

Turned off the TV stream as soon as Newsom appeared.

COME ON NOW MR MAYOR

I will not cry. I will not cry.

Omg that speech
