shooting my shot 🏀 we’re hiring & here’s the lowdown. this would be a great role for someone beginning or mid career. pls apply or pass on to anyone u know who might fit! (it is my current position, i am moving to other projects within the same team & would be training this person)

Tonight, I finished off my favorite bottle of whiskey. I’ve shared pours of this with many folks here at home, and at conferences. At the end, it was just a Thursday night pour on a rough week that finished it off. Drink your best whiskey, share with others. Life is short.

When I hear “we are a couple years away from AGI,” all I can hear are sales people telling me “20xx is the year of VDI” or Linux folks saying “this is the year of desktop Linux.” It’s just folks saying what they hope is true, because they want to sell it to you.

There isn’t really anything in my job that scares me. Give me a project and I’ll figure it out. But building an engine for my project car with my dad has me scared. Months of planning, thousands of $ in machining and parts, it comes down to getting everything right down to a thousandth of an inch.

The difference between data driven and data informed. My whoop says I should be pushing hard today. But I feel exhausted. If I was driven by data, i would go do another hard ride on the indoor bike. Being informed by data, i look at the data and use it as one input, not the only input.

I know I’m 4 years late to this question, but how TF do you dial in new beans for espresso when you can’t taste anything? My guess is just something that pulls in 25-30 seconds.

I don’t understand what would motivate someone to rent a plane to fly a hurtful message over a town. It’s just hating folks who are different than you. Hope everyone had a great #BoisePrideFest!
