The sword YouTuber I like for Italian longsword is starting his I.33 (sword and buckler) manual interpretation series. Entering my Knight of Etro era

I’ve worked 7 contracts in the last 4.5 years and I can’t remember a damn thing about 5 of them. The only way I know some of them even happened is my Slack DM history. Just consulting industrial complex things

The bad news is the wiki refactoring project at work ate all the knowledge transfer documentation I wrote this week at work but the good news I’m pivoting it into an opportunity to write, test, and present on a Claude technical writing skill

“What’s the current disaster recovery plan?” Throw my phone down a storm drain and start a new life as a plumber in Colorado

Another Monday stand up where they make small talk about what we did this weekend and I say some cryptic (and true) bullshit like “y’all cannot handle my actual life”

I can’t tell if the woman who has been doing my brows and electrolysis for like 3 years is gassing me up in a professional way or flirting but she was like “You keep getting hottetr. Your ass is looking great. Your tits are bigger. I love the grays in your hair.” Would Anyway, headed to the club

Going on the bench is so weird. I’m making basically an internal resume to apply for jobs internally and like the whole process makes me think I should just actually see what’s out there and take calls from recruiters while I’m at it

Long time followers know I got a Grade 3 ACL tear in my weapon side knee after being thrown while longsword sparring the literal number 1 swordswoman in the world I was classified as an ACL coper candidate from the jump and have been doing leg day everyday forever since This is my monthly PT blog

I’m updating my work one page profile and my old pfp vs my current lol lmao

Sorting all the people in my work Slack DM history into a tier list based on whether I want to work with them again and scheduling a catch-up call like “Heyyy! I’m rolling off soon. You need a pet infra nerd?”

Making the robot do its own 360 performance review will be an AI Rights violation by 2038

I’m peeved about how my upcoming project roll off is being handled by project leadership, so I have made a compelling business outcomes argument for why they should include the client in refinement and implementation on a critical feature 😇

Looking at a discourse like “No, thank you—I am too employed for this”

I set up the thing where your Apple Card daily cash rewards go into a high yield savings account plus an additional deposit of $50 per paycheck which sounds like a comically optimistic bet on the future until you realize that it’s set aside for HEMA steel longsword kit

Surly old knight talking shit about mecha pilots and how they’ll never know the satisfaction of doing it by hand They are girlfriends

I refuse to be precious about the robot doing my job. Shrugging on my plug suit and getting in the mecha

My work stress continues but we are all on the same page on what the problem is and that Microsoft has to resolve it on their end now

20 years later and when I smell Marlboro Reds I can see her sitting on the couch across the room in short shorts and a tank top. Her knees are pulled up to her chest and she’s studying me while she smokes and drinks her coffee

The woman that blew out my ACL at swords got the study group she was coaching and looking to convert to a regular scheduled class discontinued by the board. I feel some kind of way about that

I’m so tilted by Azure DevOps parameters—what do you mean strings can’t be empty and I’ve got to pass “ “ and strip the white space?? What do you mean I’ve got to do some nonsense to lower() my boolean from True to true so terraform doesn’t read it as a string and choke during plan??

Maybe we should stop calling it vibecoding and call it what it is. Natural language programming.

Modern cameras are very good. A lot of you would be surprised what can be read off the screen in the background of the photos you post—for example, your whole ass government name 👁️

Today’s hype is tomorrow’s quiet workhorse feature. Whether that’s a blessing or a curse depends on where you’re standing

atproto code touchers, pay attention tomorrow 🚨🚨🚨

I’ve got like half a dozen terrible terrible ideas to red team an unreleased atproto project but I know damn well that they won’t want my ‘help’ Checking the color of my hat like it’s a mood ring

They asked me if I had some thoughts on leveraging AI in the infrastructure pipelines during standup and I said “Yeah we can rub some Claude on it”

Thinking about what I want to do / who I want to be for Spring 2026 when I theoretically exit my seasonal depression

In my head my maxed out MacBook Pro (15 inch, 2018) is not that old. In reality it’s the last Intel MBP and is past the cutoff point on the macOS Tahoe compatibility list

Everything old is new again—there’s two ways to feel about that but only one let’s you be new too

It was good overall I’ve been spending my time off reading manuals and improving my technique to use the chain of the body for better power, stability, and structure. I was better able to read openings and it felt natural to be back and not like I’d fallen behind But my knee buckled twice

@devingaffney.com and I have been working on some @graze.social labs features and I'm pretty happy with how my atmosphere feed has turned out. Definitely needs some tuning and there's a lot of room for improvement, but so far so good. #ATProtocol

App that does From and To field redaction length matching over a set of documents 👁️

From the sword club to the goth club

Geared up and hitting the sword gym for the first time since I blew out my ACL 12 weeks ago. Excited to ease back into it ⚔️

I’m playing around with drilling my longsword footwork with a 50 lb resistance mini band around my ankles. Just a couple minutes of that and I feel like I’m going to die, but my fencing steps feel so fast and light with the band off

You can vibe code your way to a working prototype. You cannot vibe code or one-shot your way to a competitive product that works at scale. The hard part isn't writing code; it's the architectural supervision.

One-shotting an app with GenAI is sweet and all but sometimes I’m banging my head on a dynamic block for_each loop over a local to solve a terraform apply time chicken and egg problem and then I delete my busted ass conditional and add a comment describing intended functionality and tab autocomplete

Many more people have been added since it created it. If you followed early, follow again for more ^_^

You’re right, but come on—you know why you shouldn’t be near that topic

Lying By Omission Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off

Tell your friends. Try it yourself. Try breaking it! Send in bug reports. Doll hates boredom.

Goddamn did you fuck up when you aimed at me and missed

I can always tell which day my high stress episode started and ended because I stop maintaining inbox 0 and there’s like a 3 week gap in my “daily” todo list

I used to say you knew ball. Disappointing.

Y’all hit diminishing returns a couple months back

🎵 In your ragged coat one boring night You dragged me out to cure the blues That seemed to be destroying me Said tell me all your brutal news 🎵
