I'm really going to miss Dan McQuade. Loved the guy. No one loved Philly more. Sweet, funny, smart, so much good energy. In our last text exchange, he was asking me for more details about runners getting attacked by wasps during a race :) Rest in peace, buddy.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Lot of hand waving about why the Stack Overflow decline started before LLMs (all questions were asked, mature tech, discord/reddit, better docs). No, the community was hostile to new and casual users. And the UX was bad. Correct answers usually appeared as comments instead of official answers.
