I had to go find it to check on the ratio and it's even better 🤌🏻🍿

Studio execs are going to want to adapt more poems for the big screen now

IDK who needs to hear this, but you shouldn't buy promises of utopian futures with abundance and UBI from dudes who spend a considerable fraction of their time figuring out how not to pay their taxes.

Saw the pro-shot Hadestown they released in theaters, and I just couldn't get past the historical inaccuracies. The trombone wasn't even invented until the 15th century, how could it reinforce the leitmotif of Persephone's boozy dance numbers in Ancient Greece!?

Pretty sure this is my NYT crossword (Monday) record, both in speed of solve and gold streak.

1. Impact. How much revenue does my work protect or generate? 2. Quality. Does my work meet or exceed customer expectations? 3. Efficiency. Reward making the right buy versus build decision. 4. Reusability. How do others leverage my work? 5. Supportability. How much work do I create for others?

a question for the people who write code for money: if you could wave a magic wand and have your performance/promotability measured on any 5 metrics of your choice, what would those metrics be?

Intellectually I know that The Hague is a real place and things other than The International Criminal Court exist there. I was still not prepared to read the sentence: “Shrek Rave Is Coming To The Hague!”

I absolutely love the title of this paper, and I believe it gestures at something pretty profound. (Alas, this is mostly about teaching, not so much about pursuing wisdom — that's a different body of work!). A short thread.

This is like when I had a breakup in early 2020 and vowed to get out more and meet new people

Hey Elixir friends! :) My ElixirConf EU 2026 talk is online. Hologram lets you build a whole web app in pure Elixir, front end included. This one is about the next chapter - local-first - and why Elixir has an edge JS stacks can't copy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqpN...

Another thing that’s sticking with me is the importance of social learning and peer support. I think I can credit a lot of my success, especially earlier in my career, to landing in an organization that values collaboration, information sharing, and mentorship.

I love going to modern websites. You’ll be looking for a pancake recipe, and then the pancake recipe site will hit you with “by looking at pancake recipes, you have agreed to arbitration”

"Orca" is the plural of "orcum" and no, I will not be taking any questions at this time.

One of the ironies about AI agents in ops tasks is that it feels like there has never been as much interest in creating a forgiving environment with proper structural support than through promising to remove humans from it, finally forcing a less individualistic and blameful approach to design.

Turns out I watch soccer like I watch basketball: lots of “if you’re gonna get a foul / card for that, you should at least go hard enough to make it worth your while.” … might just need to stick to watching wrestling.

Alembic are some of my favorite co-conspirators. Beyond their deep expertise in Ash they are just invested and knowledgeable in the ecosystem. Look out for James Harton's robots and Rebecca Le unfurling the Elder Scrolls during this Goatmire. goatmire.com/sponsor/alem... #elixirlang #goatmire

If your admin dashboard is mostly forms, tables, modals, and status updates, LiveView is worth a serious look. You can build rich interactions without inventing a separate frontend state architecture.

Hey Elixir friends! :) Hologram v0.10 is out, now with a real event system. To show it off, I rebuilt Space Invaders in pure Elixir, running in the browser with no game engine. There's a new server-side middleware layer too. hologram.page/blog/hologra...

having to force yourself to drink water because it's "important" to "stay hydrated" is such a scam

This chart about how civilizations collapse due to diminishing returns of complexity also works amazingly well to describe software. Initially adding more code maps to adding more value but at some point every new feature means new bugs and dependencies until the entire system becomes too brittle.
