I've been thinking this since day 1 of Bluesky. I love the *idea* of owning my social media data, but for anything other than my follower graph I don't care whether it's locked or open. When I left Twitter I burned it all. I don't need to keep my tweets from 10 years ago. I only need my followers.

hard pill to swallow for atproto developers/creators: 99% of potential users either do not care about, value, understand, or want to “own their own data” i see so many apps/projects lead with this “value prop”, but it’s not an important or meaningful consideration for most people

Had to take Bella to the vet today because apparently grapes are toxic for dogs and they can die of kidney failure if they have too many. She had just a few and is doing a-okay but just to be sure, we’re doing a blood test.

Bella looking at us because we have ham in our hands

Codex ran `File.rm_rf!` on my side-project and deleted the entire project, including the .git folder that contained a few days of work in an unpublished local branch 😭 FML

This was a lot of fun to record thé first episode with @peterullrich.com 😄 We’ve got some big shoes to fill, but hopefully this can be your new source of elixir ecosystem news and discussion, in audio format. This is just the beginning, there is much more mayhem to come!

🚨 Announcing our new Podcast 🚨 Gus (@gworkman.bsky.social) and I have started a new #ElixirLang Podcast Macro Mayhem - @macromayhem.fm We cover Elixir news and general industry topics every 2 weeks. Our first episode is out now, available on all podcast players or on our website: macromayhem.fm

RSA-2048 could get cracked by an LLM tomorrow and there would be people saying "what's the big deal, anyone can find two factors of a big number, you just guess and check"

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

AI-assisted programming isn't that you sit back and relax. For building a production-ready product, you have to manage iterations, organize requirements, do QA, raise bugs to AI, and review code. You can't just vibe out a serious project without knowing what you're doing.
