🤔 Without hyperbole, Elon may have had the biggest negative impact on government productivity of any employee or appointee in history. So correspondingly, his salt mine quota is... (furiously taps calculator, furrows brow)... 780 lbs of salt a day! Get that man an axe and some empty sacks!

This is a great list, things that “the best engineers I know” do, stuff like: - understanding things deeply, reading the actual source - being willing to help other people - status doesn’t matter, good ideas come from anywhere endler.dev/2025/best-pr...

Parrot tulip seasonnnnnnnn

People will always say they’re your friend and they support you no matter what but then they’ll say some toxic shit to you like “you have to let go of the cursed amulet, it’s changing who you are” and “don’t let its power corrupt you” all because they want the amulet for themselves

Making a dire BLT

Kubernetes The Hard Way has been updated. I've also resolved most of the open issues and pull requests as I set the stage to add support for both ARM64 and AMD64, making the project compatible with both CPU architectures while continuing to be cloud provider agnostic. github.com/kelseyhighto...

Pair her up with a male wife.

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

This is just one reason why rising tides don't lift all boats.

Not sure how we get through all of this. It will require many of us to move completely differently, relate to people differently, make money differently, share differently. But we gotta try.

Great question. Frankly

chatgpt has fully broken-through to every facet of the corporate environment. I'm spending a not-insignificant amount of my time every week now explaining to people that just because chatgpt told you that something was possible doesn't mean that it a) is or b) even exists

I have a passive theory that the manner in which junior and senior devs leverage AI assistance for coding is fundamentally different: (1/?)

It’s should be socially acceptable to check if everyone hates me once daily

My child just asked if the x in SpaceX stands for explode. 😭

I love how she’s like. Listen, to be clear, I’m racist. However this is too far

In cutthroat cultures, people kiss up and kick down. They protect themselves by currying favor with people in power and exploiting those without it. In supportive cultures, people speak up and shield down. They protect others who lack power by raising problems to those who have it.

Don't Fret. 🥹

my superpower for predicting things? paying attention to what people with power say and do

Most adults (& I have been guilty of this) do not properly know how to feel, process, and regulate their emotions. Shutting down/avoidance/silent treatment/burying is not regulation. Overreacting/spiraling/controlling others/crashing out is not regulation.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Many such cases

Hearing that women feel safe with me has been the greatest compliment that I’ve ever received so hearing the opposite would destroy me.

If you get exhausted and burn out and give up, you lose. If you stay in, you win. Just by existing, you win! So taking little breaks for joy is fine! Good actually! Helping other people find joy, gives you joy too! Joy is conserved! The laws of thermodynamics have nothing to say about joy!

ME: *walking with my girlfriend* One thing you don't know about me is my friends call me 'The Postman' HER: *all cute* Is that because you always deliver? ME: *suddenly being attacked by a dog* It is not

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.
