Thereâs something very satisfying about reading that comment on a site that is just CRUD for comments.

Last year I went to two Disney parks. This year I will probably bring the family and do the same. That being said, the location doesnât really impact my decision to go. I brought my son with to the last Aurora conf too and that was in the middle of nowhere.

I wonder how many apps have convinces like this? We have something almost exactly as what youâve proposed. It really helps remove a whole class of configuration bugs.

Have you seen the YouTube channel where the guy opens a variety of locks by essentially just smashing two locks together? Locks are a scam.

I like the idea of ignoring the cost of humans. Much more manageable.

What if I just tried really hard for those 12 months though? Checkmate.

I like the "good night in advance". I might have to try that on my kids one day.

I think you could keep it going all year if done right. At some point around July it will be ambiguous if you're referring to the current year or the anticipation of the upcoming year.

I'd love to know more about the dinner menus and when you decide to make them.

My current, dead simple, personal site is running on github.com/elixir-tools...
If you need CMS features thereâs beaconcms.org, though I havenât tried it yet.

Absolutely this. Youâre delaying upgrades to the most expensive point in time.

I know there's some obvious limitations to this. Like, reading Postgres code is not easy, but there's a lot of low hanging fruit in a modern web app.

Reading code means you no longer need to speculate on how something works. You can just know. So many what whataboutisms fall away when you can reference actual code.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the 'unsubscribe' link in Fastmail email headers is a no-op. Except in one case where it caused a support ticket to be created. Totally worthless.

One time a reporter stopped me and a friend to ask about the coffee we were drinking. She asked why I was drinking iced coffee in the winter. I said my mouth is the same temperature year round. Somehow that didn't make the final cut of the article.

I donât think the primary purpose of a conference is the talks themselves, but the hallway track.
Also, for a multi-track conference, if talks are not recorded Iâm almost sure to get some FOMO for something that I didnât get to see.

I likely wouldn't be in software anymore if not for the Eau Claire Ruby user group in ~2008.

In the same vein, I think there's going to be a massive gold rush for consultancies to clean up all of this AI generated code. It will be like the rush of Rails consultancies in the early 2010s.
