I've chosen to avoid this wave of AI altogether. I'm not interested in becoming one with the machine. If they are willing to spend time and money training artificial intelligence, why wouldn't I do the same for the real thing.

Amsterdam devs - I'll be speaking at this event, talking about how we build Workers KV on Workers. Stop by, learn a little, and say hi!

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

We just raised the Workers KV namespace limits for all Cloudflare accounts, from 200 to 1000 Folks had been running into those limits, especially teams building multi-tenant applications who split KV data by tenant. That’s now a thing of the past! developers.cloudflare.com/changelog-ne...

“You are a sprinter!” Hell yeah I am! Actual AC was 395. Good improvement since getting off the couch but now it’s time to crank that MAP and FTP.

Hey network - do I know anybody working in Alzheimer's, Dementia, or Parkinson's research? If so, could you DM me? I want to explore the current role of technology in research across detection, treatment, and quality of life aspects.

In my race this weekend I was involved in two crashes. The first I was hit from the back left. The other rider went down hard and DNF. I stayed up. The second I was hit from the back right. I went down hard, got back up and finished. Here's what that taught me about B2B SaaS.

I've done an unusual number of mentoring calls this week, and one thing I'd like to remind everyone is, you are enough, and you can't forget how far you've come. You're most likely in the best position you've ever been in to build on top of everything you've done until this point.

Hit my goals (finished, not last) despite going down in a gnarly crash around 11.5km from the start. Headwind on the return was absolutely brutal. Climbs and obstacles were strong though! www.strava.com/activities/1...

Today's chapter was my favorite so far, with lots of actionable advice and a section on a topic that fires me up every time - micromanagement! robsutter.dev/posts/leader...

In today's post I pick a bone with the "Tech Lead/Manager" (TLM) role. Don't do this to your engineers. It's a recipe for burnout without much of a chance for success, even in the short term (but especially over the long term). robsutter.dev/posts/leader...

If I could sum up my philosophy in building systems it’s “Never invent a space pen when there’s a perfectly good pencil at hand.”
