This started as an expanded LinkedIn post about leaving Shopify. Instead, it became a look back at 5½ years of software engineering: Checkout Editor, developer tools, the people who shaped my career, and how the hell I ended up there in the first place. mawburn.com/blog/2026-10...

It's is REALLY impressive how @dngnclub.itch.io is able to create original retro style graphic art without feeling derivative like a lot of artists. Let's start a petition to get TKG to make him the sole artist for everything @mothership.bsky.social going forward! www.instagram.com/dngnclub

So I've been trying to eat healthier and mostly cut out sodas, drinking stuff like @drinkliquiddeath.bsky.social and sugar-free drinks instead. I've lost like 15lbs over a few months. But damn, everything's too sweet now. Can't even drink Mt Dews anymore. At least I can still do slushies though.

TIL "Monte Cook" is a dude's actual name. I thought it was some semi-obscure/niche phrase like Sine Nomine.

Heads up

I'm late to the game, but I've recently been falling in love with Junji Ito's work. It's all so wonderfully fucked up!

since this keeps going around, a few common clarifications: - no pay-to-play. we won’t prioritize comments of subscribers - we don’t plan to do Twitter-style “paid checkmarks” - if we do add a “supporter” profile badge, it will be hideable - bookmarks will be free (when we get to them)

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy. It’s not rocket science.
