Oh to be so nuanced and eloquent in the age of AI! We all can learn much from Ray 🙌

The Bun rewrite as a subplot in Anthropic's campaign to end software engineering. Call me crazy, but I not want my vendors to be on a campaign to end software engineering. I believe that to be counter-productive. Does that make sense? raymyers.org/post/zig-cre...

Doing a fun project and the guide I'm following is brilliant, not only for the content but also for these hidden gems in it!

"If AI has taught me anything, its the worthlessness of sycophantic praise." such an astute observation that is felt across industries today! found this quote in a youtube video about book reviews of all things, great video too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbRR...

my favorite part about this "how the heck" series I've been working on is that people clearly have an appetite for the web being a clean and beautiful place where you can just learn things

vickiboykis.com/2026/04/20/b... This article combines art, books, ML, mastery and hope all in one beautifully articulated piece. Been a while since I’ve read something that made me feel it’s not a waste of time to hone your craft. I agree with so much that’s in here, please give it a read!

very relevant in today’s world. from the second edition of DDIA, gotta say i’m loving reading all the new material!

As far as I know there is literally no reason for this, it is just an incredibly lucky coincidence that we get to enjoy for free

something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.

Humans are also capable of wondrous things.

started reading the second edition of Designing Data Intensive Applications and we're off to a good start... or are we?

Rivers are living beings.

Was revisiting some of my past reads and I absolutely love it when small books pack a punch! This one is aptly named, Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan.

I wrote a blog on using vim for a week. It might help people trying to make the switch! Fun week, there were some tears ngl vallariagrawal.com/blog/vim-week/

Wake up, mess up git rebase, use reflog to fix it, repeat 🙆🏻‍♀️

Was doing a bit of research and wondering if there is a place to find a catalogue of incidents and their retrospectives? If there is a place where they are tagged with tech involved too, that would be a cherry on top!

Got a female pilot on a flight I took recently. Gave me a little hope and encouragement amidst everything else going on these days ❤️

when you hunt for a bug in your code you are basically house, md I don't make the rules

The heart wants what it wants and mine wants to use this pleasantly unexpected day off to put on something cozy and go to the library to practice sketching figures and portraits

It’s absurd how much I relate with this. Can’t even count how many times I’ve rewatched Dune 2 at this point, it doesn’t get old!

Immersing myself in the Dune universe for an entire day, with "Prophecy" and both films, was probably not ideal before coming back to work after a long holiday. I'm now completely indoctrinated against the thinking machines.

Reading makes you live longer.

Happy return to work day to all those who celebrate it. Let's do some business

It’s fascinating to see how many of my small habits to big life decisions are so heavily influenced by people who I used to look upto when I was a kid, really. People don’t know the kind of impact they can have, what a beautiful legacy to have 🌸

One thing that AI is definitely saving me time on is writing LinkedIn posts. I’ve never liked posting on LinkedIn and have often skipped posting professional updates, but thanks to AI that’s one less thing to procrastinate about!

Have always been into baking and finally doing more of it this year. Learning to make breads, here are my first few baked things: ciabatta and banana bread to welcome the new year!

I just finished publishing all 25 blogs explaining my solution for solving each day of #AdventOfCode! Huge shoutout to @mattboyle.bsky.social for giving me this opportunity to publish them on ByteSizeGo, what a fun and active community to be a part of 😁 Posting all links in the thread below 👇

Learned crocheting this December to make hand made gifts this Christmas! Meet Totoro, Perry the Platypus and Ratatouille’s Remy 😁
