Wife and kid went to the National Gallery in Dublin where the kid loudly proclaims: “I’m tired of seeing picture of Jesus” 😅

We've been spending time switching to sprints at work. I've written down my notes around some of the "hows" of the process for folks who are new to it.

What a great coffee shop idea for parents.

I seem to remember a research, high latency, low throughput networking protocol. It had an oddball name like "alakazam" or "thunderegg". The author made a claim ~"works on networks with throughput as low as 5 bits per minute". 2-3 years ago. Ring any bells for anyone?

Got other stuff to do this morning but had to take a quick "Morale Will Be Kept" break for myself. And I'm nothing if not a generous sharer.

For 2025, I’m focused on developer experience at work. This has begun with building an internal Kubernetes platform. It’s simultaneously frustrating to iterate and fun to get things setup. Most recently? Got got commit to prod deploy setup with proper threaded slack notifications. 🥰

I have the ugliest sandals ever and I’m so into it. I’ve been in Portland too long. Like a tactical hippie. bedrocksandals.com/collections/...

This evening I've been programming w/ claude. I've got a small script which will scan my ~few hundred notes in org-mode format, cluster them w/ embeddings, and then use an LLM to suggest links between the two notes. Honestly, quite fun and intriguing.

@simonwillison.net given your post on running a link blog.. I’d be quite curious how you think about microblogging in that context. Also, feedback/comments.

I'm getting the vibe that LLMs will have some engineers looking awesome (so much output!) which gives unreasonable amounts of work on the reviewers (and thereby lower output). #onthereceivingend

I don’t know if this is a Portland thing, a US thing or just a post covid thing.. but I hate being made to feel like a criminal when shopping because everything is locked down.

I recently re-read Team Topologies. It's a great book. This time, I took notes, which may be of interest to folks who are curious of the book. notes.justin.abrah.ms/posts/team_t...

I’ve been off of tech twitter for a few years now (when Elon bought it). Bluesky peeps have been such a lift to my spirits the past few weeks that I didn’t realize was missing. Send me all your platform eng, distributed systems & p2p/decentralization content and my heart will continue to sing. ❤️
