Conway's Law isn't a promise, it's a threat! If you whine about a math problem in base-10, I'll make you do it in base-16 too.

ME: Does Bronze Walrus get summoning sickness? STEPKID: I am so very sorry. I would give it haste if I could. KEVIN: A walrus with haste is just a hippo. *table pauses to consider the truth of this statement*

I love exposing odd connections and watching my 12 year olds mind explode. Tween: I thought Rabbit (of the 100 acre wood) was an old woman! Me: No, Rabbit is just a hobbit. 🤯

The two rules of software development: - Up-front thinking is Waterfall; we can only learn by shipping - There's no room on the roadmap for rework, so everything needs to be done right the first time Bosses love AI because they think it can give them up-front certainty on the cheap. But it can't.

The fake double diamond is dead. The real double diamond is immortal.

AI is not a substitute for divergent thinking, and the false certainty it gives will never save you from having to iterate.

I just remembered in stunning detail that Doogie Howser MD ended every episode with a call-back to It's a Wonderful Life. I cannot remember what I had for lunch on Monday but apparently *this* is the trivia that will stick with me until I die.

My doctor is concerned about sleep apnea and ordered a study. Some rando clinic sent me a finger monitor in the mail and instructed to wear it over night. The band was too small and restricted blood flow, even on my pinky, so I kept waking up feeling like I was caught in a vise.

I did it. It feels surreal. Feels like just yesterday I was drawing my own versions of Kirby powers, or Mega Man bosses, never imagining that I would actually put a game on a Nintendo console some day... www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro... #gamedev #indiegame #nintendoswitch #indiegames

George Bush jr fucked up Standard Time by pushing the end of Daylight Time. But that was 25 years ago. It's wild that Boomers still go "just about time to *fall back*, right? Oh shoot, another month". Anyways make kids read MoMo and Fuck DST.

I’ve been asked to weigh in on the debate over whether to bring an iced coffee to an interview. It doesn't matter. Iced coffee is NOT why it's hard to land a job right now, and it's NOT why Gen Z can't get ahead. Our economy is rigged. We need to change that.
