As someone who has visited Portmeirion a large number of times, I kind of wish they just kept the 60s aesthetic frozen in time.

Whatever you do don’t take me to The Island from The Prisoner! I’d hate to live in a cool rent free apartment full of bold late 60s modern furniture haha noooo a bubble don’t chase me haha

Words I am not longer using: - Honest - Clean - Legitimate

I'm hiring for my team @planetscale.com, in AMER and EMEA, fully remote. Come build the best Postgres product on the planet with super talented folks, very high autonomy, tier-zero databases. DMs open if you'd like to talk first, happy to chat. job-boards.greenhouse.io/planetscale/...

If you are in your late thirties to mid-forties right now, there is a good chance that you have spent most of your life in a cycle of making some sort of home on the internet only to have it crumble beneath you like chalk and having to start over.

Together, we can defeat the tyranny of on-call rotations.

who decided to call it speculative execution and not cache me if you can

Incredible

So. I don’t have a job anymore. Company just did layoffs yesterday. I have all kinds of experience, but would prefer to be in Ops land. I have experience in bash, regex, dns, networking, all kinds of monitoring platforms, AWS, terraform, docker…

Looks like we _are_ going to space today.

I hope to see the 20th anniversary of the LP Archive.

I'm so glad to see all the DLSS 5 memes. Great stuff.

I worry a little that beyond open source, AI re-implementation will mean less technical blogging on novel approaches to problems, or with such little detail as to be pointless.

Delving into OIDC was not what I had planned for my weekend, but here we are.

Time for a new Rogue Trader playthrough. It's Captain Harlock time. Iconcolast, of course.

"Impacted by objects that struck the data center, creating sparks and fire" is an incredible sentence. 10/10.

past me: lets make a little wombo combo game where you want Big Number (inc exponents) current me: I hate combinatorial explosions, time to write a simulator so I don't have to figure out infinites by hand

I now join the chorus of folks looking for a job. I’ve got some software and systems engineering expertise, some AI/ML expertise, and I’ve been in a business seat for the past few years, meaning I know a lot more about how GTM, sales, etc works than I did. Let me know if you’d like to talk.

Just pictured Nick Saban receiving a stuffie after losing to Clemson 44-16 and literally burst out laughing

Finally baking again for the first time in... I think at least 18 months, if not longer. Hawaiian rolls this time. Terrible dough to work with.

The part of "everyone becomes a manager" in AI that I didn't really think about until now was the mental fatigue of context switching and keeping many tasks going at once, which of course is one of the hardest parts of being a manager and now you all get to enjoy it too
