Found this gem my friends made of me when I was 20 years old, clowning how much I loved Robert Vieira's SQL Server books. Those Wrox books were the first that spoke to the audience like coworkers and not like robots ala Addison-Wesley. Now I love @manning.com, which is casual but accurate.

Black-and-white meme styled like a vintage programming book cover. A smiling person with long curly hair wearing an “I ♥ SQL” shirt looks upward while a thought bubble contains a stern-looking man’s portrait, implying they are thinking about him. The lower half mimics a Wrox book cover with the large title “PROFESSIONAL SQL Server 2000 Programming,” a Wrox logo, and the name “chrissy,” parodying old technical books and joking about nostalgia for SQL Server and admiration or fixation on a database expert.

Having a whole lot of fun this week with Fable and Sol. Sol I'm reserving for front-end work, so I've updated @mutesky.app finally! And now I'm building a Dragon Quest-like front-end for Infocom's Wishbringer! The reimagination of the original map took my breath away 🤯

Hand-drawn fantasy map titled "Postal Zones Festeron, Anharia & Vicinity," shown with a letter and number grid overlaid. The map depicts a coastal settlement with roads, scattered buildings, a central fountain, wooded areas, fields, and a church on a rocky island connected to the mainland by a narrow bridge, with water surrounding the eastern and northern edges and a compass rose in the lower right.Pixel art landscape viewed from behind a young traveler standing beside a loaded bicycle on a hill, holding a glowing egg and looking over a winding road through a cozy seaside village. A lighthouse rises from a rocky island at sunset on the left, while a towering dark castle beneath a swirling purple vortex dominates the distant hills on the right, creating a contrast between peaceful countryside and looming fantasy danger.

ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players ssh snakes.run to join!

Anyone have any dashboard designs that are 1. USEFUL and 2. BEAUTIFUL? Claude said Datadog is popular but the screenshots I'm seeing on Google Images are 90s. Vercel looks more modern. If you love a dashboard AND find it useful, what do you love about it?

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

Oleg was right, after all. His premise was that burnout is caused primarily by a lack of progress. For years, I struggled with serious burnout, and his article rang so true for me. Now, even more so. With the kind of progress I'm making with AI, I can't remember the last time I burned out 😍
