Why is it that when I hear, "there are no silly questions," that I want to take it as a personal challenge? (why is abbreviation such a long word?)

What used more tape for you this year? - wrapping presents and gifts or - keeping your Christmas tree box intact for one more year

I'm not getting takeout, I'm "vibe cooking".

Shout it from the mountaintops! When I see a friend beat themselves up over something, I often ask them "what would you say to a friend who was in the same situation as you are?" People are often way harder on themselves than they'd ever counsel a friend to be.

Q: Who is the person who most often tells you: You don’t deserve… Who gave you the right… What makes you think… You can’t… A: Yourself. If you saw someone doing that to someone else, you’d intervene. So, intervene.

If all you do is vibe code you're a slopware developer.

After January, my COBRA payments for health insurance will cost more than my mortgage... Good thing I have two PCs with 128GB of RAM each that I could sell to cover those COBRA payments until like June. #RAMprices #whattheactual

Join the livestream Wednesday at 8am Pacific, 11am Eastern! @iandouglas736.com is showing Matt how to use goose in "headless" mode with MCP to find routine tasks that take up Matt's time so he can focus on his business operations instead. linktr.ee/blockopensou...

MCP-UI is here! & we’ve got its creators, and the Goose engineer who's bringing it to life! Instead of typing prompt after prompt, developers can now build real, interactive UIs— all running inside Goose. Watch the team that built it and the first team to adopt it break it down live.

Come hang out on our Friday livestream 10amPT/1pmET to see how Goose made an incredible "retro" terminal work tracker for productivity that scores your focus, productivity, and context switching! linktr.ee/blockopensou...

My son and I were touring around London on another bus when this accident happened. I didn't see it happen but I heard the sickening crunch and saw the messy aftermath. It's weird how casually i've used "in case I get hit by a bus" to talk about the importance of knowledge transfer. Never again.

Lol had some fun with Goose at MCP hack night in Toronto. Everything's fun when the tokens are free 😅 @iandouglas736.com Thanks for hosting this! #TorontoTechWeek

Vibe coding has certainly taken hold but often ends in a ton of refactoring. I came up with the idea of "vibe prompting" a few months back to improve the starting point, saving time and tokens/money. youtube.com/watch?v=IjXm... #ai #vibeprompting #promptengineering
