One of my very good friends has started a Substack; you should give it a read and a follow. He is an amazing writer!! open.substack.com/pub/techtrav...

rewatching Air Force One and realized how much hair gel gary oldman has on god dammit we used to be a proper country
Is it weird I like to tell Claude to pause for the night so I can go to bed purely so it gives me a lovely good night message? Like super weird, but can't stop won't stop. Yolo.
Anyone else dislike CAPTCHA telling you to identify a motorcycle and then showing you a moped? Get it together captcha, you are drunk.
I hate saying it but Fable got me buying the Max plan. I've used it for so many things this weekend alone it is nuts.
Coulda been the biggest and best party DC had ever seen and instead all we got was a half dead carcass on a 45mm min grievance train and rained out fireworks too late for kids. Even earth is sick of him.
As a roughly DC resident, I still find it incredible that people think Trump is a good president and organizer. This man has made what should be a party for America into a train wreck. We already knew he was a loser president; now he is proving it with the saddest fair ever seen on earth.
It blows my mind how folks like Shane Gillis and Tony Hinchcliffe have careers. These are the most boring unfunny folks and yet somehow they are supposed to be famous. Watching the Kevin Hart roast from @netflix.com and I am stunned this ever got made public. Everyone involved should be embarrassed
The full Prof Good Time Boy might be the best rap album of the last year, and this track the highlight with it. open.spotify.com/track/510UGY...

As an engineer I view AI as many of you with a giant ugg. The fact the WH is blocking a specific model only means it somehow has thole files in it. In which case, RELEASE THE MODEL.
Please in the name of all things holy, do not chew gum in a meeting or conference. Especially with your mouth open.

watching the market selloff to buy ketamine space race, only to sell it off again has been wild.
The fun part about being an engineer is breaking stuff and realizing if you break it harder it might show up on someone's on call schedule. Sorry dominos app on call....
I love the Midwest, but the Midwest diet does not love me. After a week of daily cheese curds, soaked hot Italian beefs, and deep dish, my stomach has decided I am an asshole. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. Cheeeeeese!!
Whoever at Ferrari signed off on this needs to be fired along with Jony Ive. Dear god that thing is ugly.
Dear @ticketmaster.com , why are you so incredibly bad at this says the guy at ~9pm EDT. Wanted to see Angine de Poitrine but guess your janky coding means no. This is why everyone and their mothers cousin hates you.
Pretty wild our president just stole 1.8 BILLION dollars from tax payers and it is a general shrug from the media. I am old enough to remember tan suit gate.
It blows my mind how much AI invents code bad code, and how little folks are talking abou that. Especially at the leadership level. I asked for a simple migration from React to Angular on a small package, and it madeup every single endpoint and presented it as correct even even after correction.
My entire decades long career has been trying to explain to managers above me why building UIs is not as easy as they seem to think it is.
Paul Frazee@pfrazee.com · 4mo agoYeah some unsolicated hot takes in no particular order 1. React is better than everything that came before it and I haven't seen anything do it better 2. Hooks are genius 3. If you've never done frontend on a moderately large app, you probably underestimate frontend engineering
Been playing a lot with Claude code and agents and the irony is so much of this what engineering management do. "Did you consider X?" And yet I hear how we shouldn't exist. (1/2)
Okay, I have asked AI, burned a forest trying to wrap my head around it, but what is the Hype with Ghostly/Warp over tried-and-true iTerm2? I am failing to get what I am missing...
CSS is DOOMed! I've build DOOM in CSS and every wall, floor, barrel, and imp is a div, positioned in 3D space using CSS transforms. cssdoom.wtf Try it out! But... not every browser can handle it. This is taking the browser to its limit. Chrome has some issues. Safari too. Bugs will be filed.

DOOM rendered entirely in CSS. Every wall, floor, barrel, and imp is a div, positioned in 3D space using CSS transforms.

I think my Chiral network is 95% zip lines, and if you know what that means without googling, you have extra nerd points this week
