Watch this. Watch again. "This incredible thing last night... We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us."

One thing every tech company is doing but few share with anyone: evaluating AI tools for devs - for coding, for infra (eg gateway), for code review etc. Tons of vendors, unclear which one to buy. Share what you / your team found, and I'll share what others are seeing and what they measure (cont'd)

day one in mamdani’s new york

My god 😰

I’m not anti-wealth. I grew up poor and wish it on no one. What I, and most Americans, take issue with is a handful of people holding SO much wealth while Americans go bankrupt if they get cancer and working class people struggle to get by every month. It’s greed.

Picking up Elixir again. #feelsGood

I’ve finally shipped a product to production that solves a real problem I’m having. Funny thing is that it’s already been used by someone else too! Man, it feels good. 📈

this aged like wine.

yeah, oc!

Just vibe coded a Telegram bot over the weekend using @anthropic.com’s Claude Code. And it was kinda amazing not gonna lie. 👀

I become more convinced every day that the biggest proponents of AI Agents for coding are actually just completely mediocre devs who have never shipped a product before

Sure, you know TanStack as the awesome React-Query framework that is used in 25% of all React apps. But Jack Herrington (@jherr.dev) is coming to #CascadiaJS to show us how it's a LOT more than that. In fact, it may end being your new go-to framework. #TanStack #JavaScript #WebDev #OpenSource

In 1995, Jeff Bezos's parents, Jackie and Mike Bezos, invested $245,573 in Amazon.com, which was a loan to help Bezos start his online bookstore. Entrepreneurship is a carnival game.

🥰😄 this book is *great* #kotlin

Reaching new heights. ✨🛏️

just deployed a new microservice. it’s like watching a child take its first steps, except the child is a poorly documented api, and i’m the one who forgot to include the error handling.

To the Ruby mines I go ⛏️.

We have reached levels of cringe previously thought unattainable

We’re launching something amazing at work next week. ✨

So he’s just going to raise automaker’s costs by 25% via tarrifs and then ask them to eat the loss? This is speedrunning the tinpot fascist dictator playbook in record time.

It’s been a while since I feel so energetic about work. 😼

Oh well, if we are doing this...

HAPPENING NOW: Starbucks baristas at the Park Slope location announce they’re going on STRIKE in response to the company refusing to bargain with our union over their store's closure! Customers & community allies have already shown up in support! 🔥NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE! 🔥✊

If I want to write someone down and never be able to find it again. I store it in a Jira ticket

I'm currently looking for a new fit remote, Android development contract role. I have over 15 years of Android development experience, and bring lots of positive energy to the team. Although I'm based in the UK, I'm set up to work for companies based anywhere. I have immediate availability.

I have a good feeling that in 2025 someone on bluesky will commit a notable enough crime that their posts get on the news

Yo, I’m switching teams by the end of January. 🥰

Some throwbacks from this year. #grateful #turkey #mexico

I sent more PRs in two days, than in the past two weeks. I love not having meeting. Holy smokes.

Working over the the holidays: Pros: No meetings / Tons of focus time 🤩 Cons: Well…it’s the holidays.

trying to explain the OSI model to an american: imagine if a burger had 7 patties

The "exclusive new model" is the same model with more compute. Is more compute actually going to make the results better? No. But it sounds cool so dorks will pay for it and pat themselves on the back for "being power users."
