✨ I’ve got a couple of extra General Admission tickets to @renderatl.com and I’d love to give them to folks who might not otherwise get a chance to go. If you’re from an underrepresented group in tech and want to be in the room or know someone who should be DM me!

Work on your critical thinking skills and learn as much as you can. Train your own model.

All they have to do now is automate gerrymandering, redlining, or any other discriminatory practice to avoid being held accountable.

What makes MCP appealing is the adoption of existing technologies, including JSON-RPC, to close a feature gap, mainly the need to fetch external data and call other tools. The ability to build extensions and integrations using existing technologies is the big win in my opinion.

Docker is to an LLM what gRPC is to MCP. One is a tech stack and the other is a protocol.

I would argue Docker holds the crown for the fastest technology ever standardized. In less than two years we saw Docker move beyond the hype, into production, and influence the roadmap of almost every tech company.

Three Trail of Bits engineers audited core Go cryptography for a month and found only one low-sev security issue... in unsupported Go+BoringCrypto! 🍾 Years of efforts on testing, limiting complexity, safe APIs, and readability have paid off! ✨ Yes I am taking a victory lap. No I am not sorry. 🏆

I understand the narrative around losing to someone using AI, but that's not the game I want to play. I'm working to be me; there is no competition.

The more I dig into generative AI from the prospective of a retired person, the less I want to be involved, or make use of the tools. I want to focus on using my own model of the world to contribute to society for as long as possible.

I'm learning about the Invest America Act, which creates investment accounts for newborns, seeded with $1000, funded by the government, and allows parents to contribute an additional $5000 a year. Feels like more liquidity for the casino and tax deferred wealth inequality. www.investamerica.org

PostgreSQL, the open source database that continues to get better, is introducing oauth support. This should help with database automation and hopefully bring us one step closer to moving away from static credentials and copying usernames and passwords around. www.postgresql.org/about/news/p...

The number one "leadership" trick has to be breaking something and then taking credit for fixing it.
