My sister called me telling me everything she learned about Dolly Parton and said “why didn’t I know she did all of this before her death?” I thinking about all the things she did and the fact that so often we don’t know everyone’s impact until after death

People keep telling me how cute my baby is But the lack of sleep has reduced my already very limited filter. Funniest response I gave recently was “thanks it really hurt to push her out 😀”

Do I have someone in my network that works at deepgram?

I feel like I’ve lived a year in 3 days.

“Somewhere on Earth, someone remembers you for something you forgot you ever did. And that version of you lives forever in their head…” even if that version no longer exists for you.

Today has been terrible. That is all. I can usually see the positive in everything but today I can’t. Still not the worst day of my life but wow does today suck.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. Have you talked to the person/team that’s blocking you?

Today is a day where I just want to make art Because I’m mourning the creative parts I’ve turned off in order to survive and thrive

The better of a dev you are, the better you are with gen coding tools AI is amplifying bad patters that devs have Mostly because leadership team are creating environments that allows this to happen When failures happens it's a systems issues.

Railway has to be a prime example of why vibe coding doesn’t work in enterprise. They have had more downtime and outages since saying they opened up to AI coding

Building a venture collective that’s already picking up traction and at most we’re all working 4 days a week

AI has made my role equivalent to a cobalt developer 🙃

Pitching in front of investors while having a baby strapped to me was not on my bingo card for 2026. The baby yes. The securing investor money, no lol.

Last night I drafted a blog post talking about how AI without safeguards are making technology unpredictable This morning we have google pushing a slur out in an alert 😵‍💫 This seems unreal. The damage these workflows are causing should really demand change www.patreon.com/posts/151575...

Here’s my hot take on opus 4.6, Claude new model It’s still only as good as your own ability to think. AI can do the work, but you have to still do the thinking I don’t know if I’m Just jaded, but it doesn’t seem to ever meet my expectation without iterations

Getting a night nurse was 10/10 worth it. My only regret so far was not getting a postpartum doula.
