I am delighted to announce that after 5 years of work, 15 early releases, 50,000 words written, and 100,000 more deleted, *Logic for Programmers* is now complete and available in print! Blog post announcement: www.hillelwayne.com/post/lfp/ Website: logicforprogrammers.com

Much of my career boils down to: All code is liability. Minimize it. Feedback loops are everywhere. Speed them up; do them more. We're bad at predicting the future. Avoid it. More tests. Hire smart, motivated people, then get out of their way. Find the right thing to turn off and on again.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

hey bluesky, i've been unemployed for over a month and figure it's about time to start serious looking for something new. i'm proficient in typescript/the js ecosystem, elixir, and can learn new stuff pretty fast. also familiar with using LLMs in various ways.

Everyone loooooves data ownership until you have to move Don’t believe what big atproto tells you, records are NOT portable

hey bluesky, i've been unemployed since i graduated. i'm proficient in typescript and python, and can learn new stuff fairly quick. also familiar with using LLMs in various ways. Please hire me.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I’ve been working on putting together something between a retreat and a hackathon for #atproto builders for the past several weeks. I’ve been in discussion with potential funders and some funding has become available to make this a reality. now, I need your help!! KEEP READING 👇🏽

Happy Friday! I've been building towards an "Atmosphere OS", where my atproto account is the identity layer on a real phone. I wrote a little bit about it here:

On an Atmosphere OS

What if an Atmosphere account could handle email, groupware, and device-level identity without putting Google or Apple at the center?

how do I even begin to imagine a company with 1.7m employees wat

Justin Garrison@justingarrison.com · last wk.

Amazon had an internal tool called "old fart" that showed how long you've been at the company compared to the rest of the company. I would also let you carve up the data to compare locations, roles, etc. In almost 4 years I had been there longer than 77% of the company

I've been playing around with field renaming on nightly and it feels so good to finally be able to do that! What a nice release!!

new toy: RayColor 🎾 generative palettes from a raytraced scene: one sphere, a five-sided room, three lights, mirror walls. drag the lights, harvest the colors. palettes stay coherent because every swatch is the same light in the same room. meodai.github.io/ray-color/ let me know what you think.

the Dinitz-Garg-Goemans conjecture, a graph theory problem that’s gone unsolved for 30 years, was solved with this prompt

I will end this with: the grief that I mentioned is very real and very important and a lot of people are going through it right now: if you need someone to listen and nod through what you're going through right now, my DMs are open. I'm happy to be a nonjudgmental ear despite my positions on this.

"make no mistakes" negative, unrealistic, anxiety inducing, process focused "do a breakthrough" positive, incredible, aspirational, goal oriented

Here are 58 words of prompts to GPT-5.6 Pro that got the model to discover that the long-standing Dinitz-Garg-Goemans conjecture is false. Increasingly, prompt crafting is over-rated, ask for what you want. (Which itself can be a hard problem)
