Ok, I've had whiskey and my flight is delayed, so... time for some unadvised unadulterated software eng and management advice (thread)

The Occam/Chekhov/Chesterton Razor/Gun/Fence matrix. Summer’s off to a productive start.

I’m not sharing the post, because racists are stupid and dull, but one of them accused Mamdani of committing “vibe warfare,” which is amazing. I am proud to be alive during a time when even vibes can fight wars.

BLADE RUNNER was released 43 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the greatest science fiction movies ever made, and among director Ridley Scott’s greatest films, the story behind the scenes might have you taking the Voight-Kampf test… 1/40

In a June Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani received more votes than 22 sitting US Senators received in their most recent general elections.

I miss New York City

never forget that mamdani’s campaign started to surge after calling tom homan a bitch to his face

it turns out that embracing a multi-racial, multi-faith democracy is the best path towards peace in this chaotic world.

(Pace salsa voice) NEW YORK CITY!

i quit my job at the reptile house in favour of a more creative career. i just couldn’t stand staring at a monitor all day.

#Motorcycle industry organizations have been slow to address a proposal to sell off millions of acres of land owned by the U.S. government, but now some are coming out in opposition to the plan, worried that it could limit access to off-road riding areas. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

I think I did a decent job broadly addressing this incredibly bullshit and bad-faith question on the spot; but I also think it's worth addressing further, to the point that I'm crossing some pretty hard lines about what personal things I share with the Internet.

Janet’s version gets used more

Cool!

If I was in charge of reliability reporting for a company, any company, every report of mine would be the same: THE NEXT MAJOR OUTAGE IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!

What's happening in the garden today? 🌱 #bloomscrolling Zinnias of many colors... one of the few annuals we plant but they grow so well from seed and bloom all summer A golden cosmos from one of the wildflower patches And the mountain mint is coming into bloom, a super pollinator attractor

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Good luck in Vegas!

Single shot 70mm from yesterday. Ghostly. Etherial. And a photo I'll probably never be able to top! Dickens, Nebraska. 6/16/25

Welp, I guess I have to buy a few more motorcycles now

Went for a ride yesterday. Stumbled across this field full of pink poppies. Beautiful.

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals. To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

GitHub had its one billionth repository created today! This is the lucky repo that got ID 1000000000 🎉

A task today was to finish my presentation for the ABR Festival. I like making new presentations because once I have the theme & the story ready, it's a case of finding photos to share. This one didn't make the cut, this time, but I like it because of the memories. Backroads in Portugal. #motosky

Spent some time upgrading an old PocketBase project to latest over the weekend. So much good stuff, really enjoyed porting things over and new code is way better

HBO’s Silicon Valley on vibe coding in 2019. I miss this show.

The final boss of inline class names. Holy smokes.

for context here’s a map of greater Los Angeles and the protest is the roughly the red circle

We train using the ways of the old world, the sous chef takes her work literally. #dogs

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

Nothing like finding a tarantula in your yard. Makes up for the lack of coffee.
