Upon waking this morning, my brain gave me a great title to a poem / song / novel / self help book / movie. “My Best Friend’s Parachute”
I’m the kind of dad who wakes up the whole house at 5am to watch the Earth’s shadow cover the moon.
Just heard a great phrase about not caring about your job: “it’s about the income, not the outcome.”
TIL the Spanish consider The Grim Reaper as a woman because "La Muerte" is feminine. 💀
[Re-]Listening to this 30yo album from Fiona Apple, and there's a song called "Never is a Promise". I cannot think of a more TypeScript song title.

I bet you could get some good deals on second hand minis today.

I just saw a live performance of a Spanish band I’d never heard of, with a 66yo singer, that was as good or better than any [guns n roses style] rock band you can name. All lyrics in Spanish. The 55yos in the audience knew all the lyrics. Meritocracy is a myth.

Pretty excited to see what I can vibe on my new @trmnl.com device. Stay tuned!
I asked chatty to look at the speaker list for my next conference and recommend high value networking targets. It said that I was far and away the most interesting person. 🤦♂️ Really puts the sicko in sycophancy.

I was workshopping an exciting never-before-seen 2027 talk idea with an LLM buddy and it – do we need a new pronoun? – recommended THE EXACT TITLE of a talk I've already given. It claimed innocence on F-ing with me, but, c'mon!
Can you imagine how dumb we would have to be to build a veritable flock of unicorns that placed all their code reviewing and continuous integration processes in the hands of a single entity? That universe would suck and those morons would deserve all their woes.
Happy "the only day you'll ever need the words totality, umbra, penumbra, and annular" day to those lucky enough to celebrate it! 🇪🇸 #moonpredictedworldcup

I've told my agent to work _ONLY_ on the top branch in a PR stack, and it keeps using the phrase "just the tip" to describe that concept.
