Hugops to the folks at @github.com 🫶 having to deal with a major incident on a bank holiday is no fun

Claude code is by far the most fun way to vibe code something, and the quickest way to burn through money - spent 20 mins at the airport vibe coding a UI and API for myself, and managed to burn through $5 doing it 💸

It's always refreshing being back in Sweden, knowing I can be on-call while driving through forest and open landscapes in the middle of nowhere, because there's still perfect 5G coverage here

Absolute nightmare happened this evening: my watch wasn't charged and I had to do a workout without tracking it. Worse yet, it meant I couldn't upload it to Strava so everyone I know can see how much better I am

Rust makes dbt go brrrr docs.getdbt.com/blog/faster-...

Came across a good read about the performance improvements to Go maps in 1.24 themsaid.com/map-internal...

All you need is Postgres

I can finally forget tar -xzvf

It should be illegal to have an item limit of 1 on cod

Have confirmed it's over the top and absolutely delicious

Love having first Friday of every month off - means I can do things like travel to Bath and find the wankiest cafe possible to match my energy

The problem with "move fast and break things" is that most people underestimate the cost and probability of "break things" occurring. Works well when you're a startup, I suspect less so when you're the literal government processing a few trillion dollars annually, but let's see

I really wish Strava's Athlete Intelligence was better. They have all my training data across ~10 years. Yet, all it can tell me is that I had consistent pace in my run? Feels like a tool that has so much potential to become great, but which right now is quite useless

Did I just spend an hour building software instead of preparing a talk? Maybe, but it was fun

Our office stands out particularly well on a gloomy afternoon

Naming a wine bar with clear Italian inspiration and then serving mostly French wines feels wrong. I feel cheated and happy at the same time - I would've wanted French anyway, but walked in expecting Italian. Someone tell me how to feel.

5am is not an acceptable time to be ploughing snow right by the hotel 💀

Probably should've gone onto ROH the moment I woke up

Just have to share how cute the winter 2024 moomin mug is ⛷️

The audacity of people to order beer at wine bars, an outrage

Been spending some time this holiday season creating a project from scratch using Cursor. 90% of the code is written by me chatting to the IDE, and a core part of the workflow has become to update the `.cursorrules` file when I want to change how code is written!

I finally broke the AI

I'd highly encourage everyone to do some coding with AI this holiday season - it's like when you have a couple drinks with a coworker and tell them how to build an app, except the coworker is sober and know what they're doing. Perfectly suited for these Swedish winter ales is all I'm saying 🍻

AI to refactor and duplicate code is *so good*. We have an interactive command that's been a bit flaky due to state management. I'll definitely fix that, but my first step is to build a non-interactive version of the terminal UI, and AI is great at "write a non-interactive version of this" 🏎️

I'm really looking forward to Christmas, but I'm *also* really excited to get back to work in January after my two weeks off. @incident.io's gonna be building some incredible stuff next year and I can't wait 🔥

I got paged this morning for a queue build-up, and I'm so happy that we shipped alert insights recently. Instead of having to rely on my (quite bad) memory, we now have actual data on how often these alerts fire, and how much time it takes 📊

This week, we launched Scribe — an AI agent for incident calls, that: 1️⃣ transcribes in real time 2️⃣ shows the current topic in Slack/Web so you always know what's being discussed 3️⃣ surfaces key points and actions, and summaries on the go Genuinely one of the best things we’ve shipped this year! 🚀

Just got CI pipeline #1566666651 and that was extremely satisfying 😌

Whenever I tell people I work on a paging product, I inevitable get asked a variation of "but if you use your own product, how do you get paged when it breaks?" It's a fun problem to solve, and Lawrence wrote a great post about how we do it 🔥

Moving logic from the frontend to the backend is so satisfying: way easier to write tests, and means the frontend has to do less work with complex data structures.

Underrated feature: Strava sending you a notification when your running shoes are getting worn out! I'd completely lost track of how much I've used them.

Athlete Intelligence seems to do really poorly identifying intervals. Different day, same story 🙃

Me: running sprints Strava: well done on the recovery run 🤗

Feeling vindicated that Strava gave me 3 fitness points for an hour-long run today, after feeling cheated yesterday when I only gained one point for an hour and a half on the bike. What's the point of exercise if you don't earn virtual points??

The Bluesky team has done such an incredible job, particularly over the last few weeks. They keep gaining millions of users and you never even notice it as a user, truly a testament to the calibre of their team
