My birthdays are usually low-key. This one, with the Gaza ceasefire and TikTok ban, will be unforgettable. Hoping for better days for all.

when I drop a glass on the floor in the kitchen, i pick up the big pieces and then sweep my palm across the zone of damage to find the rest. sometimes there is a cost but it's got very good recall for finding issues that would surprise me later anyways, test in prod

It’s that time of year where I want to revive my blog, but I can’t stand tinkering with Hugo and I’m too cheap to pay for a Ghost subscription

You see trends, I see the ‘ol famous matplotlib colour theme. Being in the trenches messes with one’s perception.

Working in research has taught me that anything can be argued, and every argument has flaws. This shapes my approach to workplace debates, many of which are pointless grandstanding exercises.

The mind is such a beautiful thing: Until a few minutes ago, I can’t recall using the word “perdition” in a sentence for at least 10 years.

I’m already mentally checked out for the Christmas holiday. My body is still engaging in mundane activities that pay the bills.

There’s an AI bro somewhere itching to disrupt the stroller industry by adding electric motors and AI for smarter mobility. Imagine telling your stroller to take your kids for a stroll 😬

“Housewife of the Year” is genuinely one of the best films about Ireland I’ve ever seen - it’s both hilarious and unsettling, generous and scathing. This country was an oppressive theocracy, where women were the primary victims. This doc shows us what that felt like in practice. Must watch ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lesson learned: Don't underestimate automated tests. Discovered a silent failure that could’ve been caught by a test. That oversight has voided many AB tests that motivated key decisions 😬
